This message is for the hip hop heads that use the dss-1,yo the 12bit sampling is not that big of a deal to me,i was fasinated my self to find out that the legendary sp-1200 that predated the akai mpc60, sampled at the same rate!and the fact that the the dss-1 dont have a seqencer is no bother to me neither, because iv got a few skills playin keyboard any way. So hey if you got one ya best hold on to it caus its on its way to becomin a saught after classic, just like the lynn drum machin,and the sp-1200. My opinon is that alot of the synths and groove machines of today as far as the sounds go, are just digital remakes of the sounds that were hot back in the days.holla!

DOWN LOADED A MANUAL, TOOK ME A COUPLE DAYS TO FIGURE IT OUT. EVERY THING WORKS! THE FAT SYNTH BASS SOUNDS ARE AWSOME FOR GOOD OL FASHION REAL HIP HOP!!!!

I have to agree with Glen here.it does gorgeous strings and big synthsounds but it is difficult to sample sounds yourself and save it to disk .Also the biggest flaw is the missing portamento.very very sad .It would have turned this instrument to a supersynth and the worth of the synth 2 or 3 times higher.Any way to sample portamento? Anyway its filter is the best i´ll ever heard.

I am presently working on a full 128-patch disk of analog sounds for this beast -- a disk that will truly show off the DSS-1's capabilities as an analog polysynth.
As you know, most of the disks from the Korg library are full of sampled guitars, pianos, and basic ROMpler stuff (boring!). My mission is to create the disk for this beast that was never created.
I have already sampled in some diverse waveforms from sources like the VAZ Modular softsynth -- PWM loops, unision sawtooth loops -- and re-synthesized them within the DSS-1. The result? I am getting sounds out of this beast that remind me of a CS-80, I'm not kidding. Thanks to the wet, musically pleasing filter resonance that is in fact very much like CS-80 resonance.
I currently own a Sequential Pro-One, Roland JD-800, Roland JX-10, Korg Z1, and others ..... and I am still getting loads of fun programming and playing this old, unappreciated DSS-1. Totally and completely underrated. Still capable of sounds heard nowhere else!
When finished with the programming, I'll make the disk available here .....
