The Korg KR-55 Pro news:
If you can’t quite read the buttons here they say things like Country1, Country2, Oldies, Jazz, Jazz3/4, Shuffle, Salsa, etc – 24 separate patterns.
This i suppose is a revamping, Korg had a KR-55 before, in 1979 – “advanced for it’s day”.
This is a collection of drum and percussion samples spiced up with built-in effects and mixed with an equalizer. You can also record an instrument to an SD card that goes over the percussion pattern.
The 24 patterns have two variations, basic, fill-in 1, fill-in 2, and ending. The chain function allows these patterns to be structured into a complete song, and played back automatically.

My Personal Reaction
Speaking personally i’m almost always a glass half full person, and like something about most everything – emphasis here on ALMOST ALWAYS.
