Korg RMC-PCM03
Korg RMC-PCM03 Description:
Add a Latin Flair to Your Pa80
Here is an amazing selection of instruments, samples and Styles to add a Latin flair to your Pa80. Packed with data, the RMCPCM03 contains both instrument samples as well as 32 new Styles. These are authentic Latin sounds and Styles, created thanks to a joint effort between Korg and Evento Suono, a small Italian software house which realized the sounds and the styles for the card, adhering to Korg's excellent quality standard.
"Groove Sampling" captures live performers playing real instruments for incredibly authentic Latin performances. By using a professional studio (24-bit, 96 kHz recording) to record top professional musicians playing live, these audio grooves have a very natural feel. Korg's time-slice technology allows the tempo to be varied in a ±30 BPM range without a noticeable loss of quality. These groove samples provide the basis for 32 new Latin Styles – including up-to-date Cuban, New York, Spanish and Euro beats.
Master Drum Kits Included
Also included are 18 "Master Drum Kits" featuring an array of Latin Percussion instruments spread across the keyboard. You can think of them as self-contained groove construction kits with a specific theme. Seven new Latin instrument sounds have been added as well.
The data is contained on a PMCIA Flash Card that slides right into the expansion slot on the back of the Pa80, and it loads into the instrument automatically - no additional .PCG file is required.
Note: To use the RMCPCM03, you must install Operating System version 3.06 or higher.

Korg RMC-PCM03 Specifications:
- Excellent support available at www.korgpa.com where the latest Operating System (Version 2.51) and Musical Resource is now available. This OS represents a wealth of new functions, based greatly on communication with our valued end-users. The Update to the OS contains a manual supplement spelling out all the new features, and how they work; but let me highlight a few for you:
- Volume Link: Actually, this one has been asked for since before version 2.0, and it's finally here. This allows the levels of all the Style tracks, or all the Real Time parts, to be adjusted with a single fader, while preserving the proportional mix.
- "Expert" Chord Recognition: This allows much more freedom for the single keyboardist, especially a performer with some chops. It allows for recognition of so-called "rootless" Jazz chords. This way, the performer does not have to play the root, and the root will automatically be played by the Style anyway.
- GM Best Sound Substitution. So you have a phenomenal sounding keyboard, but your GM files sound dull and lifeless? This is common - GM is the lowest common denominator, and yet nearly all commercially produced sequences are in SMF / GM file format. Well, now the Pa1XPro can substitute its own great killer sounds for the lame-GM sounds - automatically. Very cool feature.
- Fast Play. There is a lot of information in the "header" of a Song file. The Pa1XPro used to play a few moments of blank space after you pressed start to load this info before the song started. Now it just does it, and the first beat of your Song starts right away. A big plus for live performance.
- Auto Select Setting. Yes, we added this feature - allowing you to select the most recently accessed sound, style or performance in a bank with a single touch of the bank key - in the last OS. But you couldn't save the setting, and had to re-set it every time you powered on. Now this setting can be saved.
- Aftertouch Off. New aftertouch curve parameter that is simply off.
