"The Korg PSS-50 Super Section basically is a drum machine groovebox with 40 preset patterns and 8 interchangeable fills/ endings, making 16 of "your very own" variations storable. Variations are composed of drum sounds, bass and accompaniment, each volume level being separately controllable. The membrane keys, offering 12 different types of chords, can be used to transpose variations to different pitches.

One of the best features of this machine is the backing chords, which kind of sounds like an Omnichord, or a nice Casio chord, but with a lot more control, and variation because each chord can be played 12 ways (MAJ, MIN, 7th, DIM, AUG, etc..)! It has a very nice, warm analog feel to it. It has a bunch of different rhythms and styles ranging from Rock, Reggae, Latin, and Heavy Metal.

The bass drum, snare, rimshot, open/closed hihat, hi/lo tom and handclaps sound like early PCM samples, just with their own, peculiar charm. The warm, analog-like bass and chords synth sounds could originate from a simplified subtractive synthesis similar to the Korg Poly 800!

FEATURES:

• TONE GENERATORS: RHYTHM x 8 (bass drun, snare drum, high-hat open, high-hat close, tom high, tom low, handclaps)

• ACCOMPANIMENT (piano, electric piano. honky-tonk piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, jazz guitar, banjo, brass, synthesizer, organ, strings)

• ARRANGEABLE AREA: 16 Patterns

• CHORD: Maj, m, m6. ,m7 ,m9, 6, 7. Maj , 9, dim, Aug, sus4 on, each root (C — B)

Korg PSS-50/Poly-800 Demo Song (1984)

Published on Dec 14, 2019 jd wall

“The PSS-50 Programmable Super Section was released in 1984. Different chordal accompaniment patterns/sounds, bass lines, and drum patterns could be combined into custom machine-music combinations. In this lo-res video it’s providing the backup for a Poly-800 routed through some PME-40X effects. (The keyboard-guitar thing was definitely a phase, and the vibrations from Al Di Meola’s Tour-De-Force LP were still in the air.)

Cheers,
Don M”
