She came out in 1983 and was Korg's response to the Roland 606.
The sliders are just like the ones found on the Roland 707.
It's sounds consist of bass, snare, two toms, open and closed hi-hats, accent and (switchable) cymbal/clap.
The bassdrum is a bit weak in my opinion. The Toms aren't too bad.
Sadly no midi or DinSync- It's a Korg sync Korg uses a 48 ppqn (parts per quarter note) DIN standard whereas Roland's is 24 ppqn. For correct tempo match it is possible to use a clock synchronizer like the KMS-30 or an Arturia Beatstep pro.
