1. The Realistic Sampled Instruments:

The DSS-1 could not compete with the sample memory of later samplers (its maximum was 256KB, upgradable to 768KB), but within that constraint, the factory library offered remarkably characterful acoustic sounds. The grand piano, for instance, was not realistic by modern standards, but it possessed a compressed, lo-fi attack that worked beautifully in dense mixes. Similarly, the electric bass and saxophone patches leaned on the analog filter to provide a breathy, resonant quality that FM synthesis could not replicate. korg dss1 sound library
