Main features
The PXR4 is a digital multi-track recorder that uses
“SmartMedia™” as its storage medium.
The PXR4 lets you record from guitar, keyboard, mic, or
other instruments, and mix your tracks to complete a song
– all without requiring any additional equipment. You can
also use the USB connector to send the recorded data to
your computer.
SmartMedia™
In addition to recording in the studio, you can pass
“SmartMedia™” back and forth between the members of
your band, so that each can record their performance at
home to complete the song.
Virtual tracks
The PXR4 has four recording/playback tracks. Each track
provides 8 virtual tracks. These virtual tracks give you the
equivalent of 32 tracks (4 tracks
×
8) of multi-track record-
ing.
Effects
The built-in effect unit features Korg’s “ ” modeling
technology, and contains 100 different effect programs cre-
ated by professional musicians and engineers. You can
also save 100 of your own original effect programs in the
user area.
The PXR4 provides other functions such as tuner, metro-
nome, and rhythm patterns to meet your recording needs.
