ToneWorks announces a new entry in its line of Pandora products, the PXR4 digital multi-track recorder. Compact and portable, it allows musicians to quickly and easily record, mix and even edit complete, professional-sounding songs from start to finish, or simply capture musical ideas on the go. The PXR4 features a full four tracks of high-quality, MPEG format recording onto SmartMedia cards, plus eight virtual tracks or "takes" per channel. Three recording modes (Economy, Standard, High-Quality), 99 songs per Card, and up to 270 minutes of recording time allow complete flexibility when recording. A unique array of full track editing functions such as Copy, Insert, Erase, Delete, Time Compression/Expansion, and Virtual Track Copy/Delete bring a new level of control to ultra-portable studios.
Designed for absolute sonic integrity, the PXR4 is equipped with 77 different types of studio-quality modeling effects featuring Korg's proprietary Resonant Electronic Modeling System (REMS) technology, and a 32 kHz sampling rate for ultra-realistic guitar, bass, drums, amp and mic simulations. 100 factory programs are included, with room for 100 user programs as well. The PXR4 also provides 55 high-quality PCM rhythm patterns covering all modern styles including BigBeat, House, Reggae, Rock, Funk, Hip Hop and more.
A wide range of additional onboard features include a large, easy-to-read LCD display; a built-in mic; a metronome with 32 patterns for practice; three selectable audio inputs (guitar, mic, line); two audio outputs, and a USB serial port for transferring songs to a PC or for MP3 encoding*.
The PXR4 comes with a 16MB SmartMedia card, and supports a wide range of additional cards (from 8 MB through 128 MB). Two AA batteries or a supplied AC adapter power the unit.
The ToneWorks Pandora PXR4 is available November 2001 with a suggested retail price of $500.00.
