KORG SUPER SECTION PSS-50 1984 | HD DEMO

Published on Jun 26, 2013 AnalogAudio1·111 videos "(c) 2013 by AnalogAudio1 The Korg "Super Section" PSS-50 is a little accompaniment box from 1984. It contains 8-bit drum samples and analog sound generation for bass and chord. It sounds similar to the Korg SAS-20. The synth engine sounds similar to the Poly-800. No MIDI. It's rather a funny toy for collectors than a serious musical instrument. Not really programmable. It has that typical Poly-800 design - I guess the same product designers did the work."

"With this computer controller accompaniment system you can program back-up patterns consisting of drums, bass and instrumental accompiment for eight different songs, all stored in internal RAM memory. On playback the PSS-50 works like a sequencer to all the back-up parts while you sing or play along on you instrument. Patterns and chord progressions are up to you. You can re-arrange the various parts of the 48 built-in patterns. This is very unique and creative tool."

"Program Your Backup Patterns and Chord Progressions - a Valuable Assistant for Practice, Recording, and Composing. It's like having your own session musicians ready to play along with your songs and arrangements. The PSS-50 lets you program both the backing pattern (drums+bass+ strings, brass, piano, etc.) and chord progression. You can then play it back to try out different arrangements, make demo tapes, or simply practice your instrument. The forty eight built-in backing patterns include 4, 8, and 16-beat, as well as fusion, reggae, disco, ballad, and many more. Each is amazingly realistic and has its own exciting original arrangement. Since you arefree to arrange the three parts in each backup pattern as you like, you have a possible variety of 100,000 new and different combinations. With the song writing function you can change the backup pattern and chord progression a bar at a time (or even at every half measure for chord changes). The PSS-50 will store eight of your songs for automatic playback. Add breaks and endings just the way you want them. The drum section uses digital storage technology to give you real drum sounds that are a far cry from an ordinary rhythm box. Songs can be linked for continuous play or to handle longer compositions. The tape interface permits infinite song data storage. Other features include external input jack (for mixing with guitar, keyboard, etc.) built-in stereo effect, stereo drum output with fixed array, drum-stick lead-in, and more."

[caknobs] KORG Rhythm-55B(KR55B) PSS-50 Roland SH-101 YAMAHA ED-10 jam (Full analog groove)

video upload by Caknobs - November 16, 2010

"1982年発売のKORG Rhythm-55BのトリガーアウトでSH-101の内臓シーケンサーのクロックを­制御しています。ボーカルはWarpFactory(ボコーダー)に入れてエレクトリ­ックノリを強調してみました。ボコーダーの波形制御はPSS50でやってます。
I think that this set is a kind of Acidtrack made from KR55B + SH-101, and vocoder increases flavor in the 80's.

Korg PSS 60 Programmable Super Section

"chiptune composer? 8-bit music maker? U want cheesy 80's sounds?
This could be your new creative tool and killa live machine!

Korg PSS 60 Programmable Super Section
Updated version of the PSS 50 circa 1989. Very similar with expanded sounds and capabilities. Also build quality (aluminum casing) and styling is sleek and understated ... I guess the 80's were coming to an end when this thing was made.
Condition of this unit is excellent . Unmarred except for a few scratches to the top face. Works 100%.
Originally a simple rhythm and sequencer to create arrangements /sketches of songs and to use as a live sequencer. Today I think it has far more potential to be used creatively in song production and live performance.

No manual available online , but it took me about 30 minutes to work out its capabilities and limitations.
Works with a standard 9v adapter (not included)
