Unit is in great shape - works perfectly. See the pics for the physical details.Here's the info if you need the deets!A new Standard. The Korg A1 was designed to surpass the usual limitations of digital multi-effect processors. It is the first device of it's kind to provide users with exceptional processing power and virtually unlimited programming flexibility - without compromising the high quality of it's individual effects.Creative Effects Flexibility. The Korg A1 includes 59 different effects with a number of variations. These effects can be assigned in different orders within the 50 variable effects chains, for limitless number of creative recording, live sound and musical instrument processing options.User-Compatibility. Designed for maximum ease of use, the Korg A1 is based on the same quick, intuitive user interface as Korg's popular A3 processor. Effects Chains and parameters can be quickly and easily accessed and edited via the convenient front panel control layout and/or optional remote controller.Sonic Integrity. The Korg A1 incorporates the latest in digital processing technology to achieve truly superior sound quality. It combines the exceptional processing power of two high speed DSP chips with sophisticated A/D convertors, thus minimizing signal degradation and preserving the high order sonic integrity of the individual effects.Applications . A powerful processor for a variety of professional recording applications, the versatile Korg A1 can also be used effectively in live sound applications, high-tech guitar racks and MIDI keyboard setups.Effects . The Korg A1 has 59 types of effects with 103 variations for a greater number of creative options. Including everything from studio-quality Delays and Reverbs through Compressors, Gates and EQs to Pitch Shifting, Rotary Speaker effects and Tube Distortion Simulation, it provides effects for any application.It also offers unique effects not found anywhere else such as a Noise Generator integrated with Reverb processing and a Dynamic Delay effect controlled by the input signal. Each effect has been optimised for matchless sound quality, allowing effects to be used alone or as part of an effect Chain in combination with up to six other effects.Reverb is an essential effect in professional recording studios. Consequently, the Korg A1 offers 28 variations in reverb. The Dynamics Reverb, for example, is ideal for processing drum sounds. In this effect it is possible to select a specific input level threshold where the reverb is triggered. A signal below the assigned threshold does not trigger the reverb effect. The inverse is also possible using the "Dynamic Polarity" parameter.Unique Korg A1 effects such as Tempo Delay and Dyna Pan cane locked to MIDI clock, allowing delay time and panning to be synchronised with a songs tempo.Effects Chains . The Korg A1 frees the user from the limitations 0f working with specific orders 0f effects or fixed Chains created by the manufacturer. Its open-ended Chains allow up t0 seven effects to be assigned in a variety of different orders or connections. Included are Chains that connect effects in series, (one after another) in parallel for simultaneous processing, and in a dual configuration to process two signals independently. There are Chains that combine series and parallel combinations and even Chains that feature a key Input for gating and compression effects.Moreover, 59 effect types can be assigned to these Chains. The user can select normal effect combinations in series Chains or experiment with all of the various effects and Chains to create totally original, customised effects programs.Ultimately, the Korg A1 provides over 50 possible effect Chain variations that can be divided into the five major categories: Series, Parallel, Dual, Key-in and Send/Return.Effects Programs . Up 10 100 effects programs can be stored in the internal memory. The Internal programs can be saved individually or in bulk to MIDI DATA FILERS or to removab... read more
