NAMM Update: Korg PXR4 Pocket Studio

"As it's name implies, the new PXR4 packs serious recording power into a compact, ultra-portable package. High quality digital recording and playback, comprehensive editing including cool features like time compression and expansion, tons of great sounding digital effects, even a built-in stereo mic. The PXR4 delivers everything you need to record, mix and edit your songs from start to finish."

That blurb from Korg's product catalog is right on the money, friends. Our demo at the Korg / Marshall room was quite interesting indeed. The unit reminded us of the Zoom PS02, but had several features that differentiated it: including more recording capacity due to more efficient compression algorithms, a faster PC interface where USB technology is utilized, and more rhythm patterns to help you build the great backing and percussion track that your song needs.

The sound quality we witnessed was very clean and the unit did indeed transfer files and store large tracks easily. There are 4 main tracks and 8 virtual tracks with one level of undo and redo available for each track.

Overall, we were impressed with the whole package and are looking forward to our review unit. Stay tuned for more information on the PXR4 as these palm sized mini-studios seem to be taking the market by storm. It seems everyone's into recording these days and for good reason. More and more cool, feature laden products at great consumer friendly prices.
