What is ?
(Resonant structure and Electronic circuit Mode-
ling System) is Korg’s proprietary technology for digital-
ly recreating the numerous factors that produce and
influence a sound, ranging from the sound-production
mechanisms of acoustic instruments and electric/elec-
tronic musical instruments, to the resonances of an in-
strument body or speaker cabinet, the sound field in
which the instrument is played, the propagation route of
the sound, the electrical and acoustic response of mics
and speakers, and the changes produced by vacuum
tubes and transistors.
