KORG ANNOUNCES UPCOMING OS UPDATE FOR NEW FLAGSHIP MR-2000S DSD STUDIO RECORDER
An expansion of Korg's MR Series of digital recorders, this rack-mountable 1-bit recorder delivers unparalleled sound quality plus improved connectivity and features for
studios and mastering facilities
WINTER NAMM SHOW, ANAHEIM, CA, January 15, 2009 :
Korg recently expanded its MR Series of digital recorders with the rackmount MR-2000S 1-Bit Studio Recorder (www.korg.com/mr2000S). In early 2009, Operating System v1.5 will be released, offering new functionality that allows users to sync as many as four MR-2000S units, for up to 8-track recording/playback of DSD audio.
Korg USA Technology Senior Product Manager Jerry Kovarsky states, Ever since we introduced affordable DSD recording, our users and interested audio enthusiasts have been asking us for more than two tracks of 1-bit recording. Korg's engineers devised an unexpected way to achieve this for the MR-2000S, which is exciting for all of us.
The new v1.5 OS uses an innovative approach to synchronizing the MR recorders. When in
1-bit mode, the MR-2000S does not need to use its S/PDIF connectors, so Korg's engineers developed a form of synchronization and transport control using the same S/PDIF cables. One unit is designated the Master and the three others, Slaves. Units can then be armed for record and/or playback, and even to locate various points within the current file. The OS will be a simple free download from www.korg.co.uk when released in February 2009.
