I30 Interactive Music Workstation
Featuring 488 new sound programs and 176 new styles, KORG's latest interactive music workstation is more powerful than ever, with a gigantic selection of high-quality sounds and music data. The i30 features an even wider range of musical Styles and with 64-voice capability, the i30 gives you more power for realtime performance, entertainment, or music production.
A Multitude Of New Sound
With a gigantic 18 Mbytes of PCM data, the i30 is packed with high-quality sounds covering all instruments and musical needs. New piano sounds, drums, percussion, brass and guitar have been added to make the i30 the best-sounding of our i-Series keyboards. The 320 programs + 32 drum programs in the i30 include GM (General MIDI) compatible sound programs.The User area is RAM, allowing you to store 128 programs + 8 drum programs that include your favorite edits to sounds and drum kits along with your own programming efforts. Plus, two completely independent digital multi-effect units are built-in, offering 47 effects variations (24 types).
A Versatile, Musical Database
The i30's database of musical Styles equips you with an easy way to create professional-level backing parts. The i30 provides a maximum of 176 Styles. Its internal memory can contain a staggering 1760 different Style Elements, covering a wide variety of musical genres, from the latest musical trends such as techno, club, rock, and pop, to traditional music.
The i30 includes ten preset keyboard scales, including Arabic and Kirnberger, to match any style of music, and you can even create and store 32 user scales.
The I30’s Arrangements Back You Up
The i30's backing part "Arrangements" make it easy for you to enjoy automatic accompaniment and speedy music production. While the Style specifies the musical genre and performance, an Arrangement is the equivalent of a band ensemble, specifying the sound played by each part, and volume, pan and effects settings. In addition to the 128 built-in Arrangements, you can create and store 128 Arrangements of your own.
The i30 lets you divide the keyboard into three parts (Main, Sub and Lower), and control each independently. The Chord Sound function allows the chordal sound and the bass note to continue playing even when the automatic accompaniment is stopped. In addition to its fade-in/out and ritardando/accelerando features, the i30 has an Ensemble function which automatically adds an appropriate harmony to your single-note melodic playing.
Speed Up Music Production
The i30's musically revolutionary Backing Sequence mode can be found only on KORG's interactive music workstations. Simply by playing a chord sequence, you can record a performance of up to six parts while switching variations and adding fill-ins when desired. Counter-melodies and other parts can be recorded on the five extra tracks. Data that is created using the Backing Sequence function can be saved to disk in SMF format. Since the i30 also contains a full-fledged 16-track sequence, this SMF data can be edited in greater detail using the internal sequencer or an external sequencer.
Superb Operation Advantages
In addition to its large and easy-to-use TouchView Graphical User Interface,the front panel provides nine sliders for adjusting the output volume balance. In conjunction with the Play/Mute keys, these sliders give you instant control of the melody and backing volumes even during a performance. Dedicated switches are also provided for Fade In/Out, Ritardando, Ensemble, and KBD Lock.
Plus, the i30's TO HOST (PC I/F) connector lets you connect it directly to your computer. (A separately sold cable and MIDI driver software AG-001/002 is required.)
You can also have an optional I30-HDD internal 1 GB hard disk installed for storage of internal data such as SMF data, Styles, and Arrangements. (For details and installation, please contact an authorized KORG dealer.)
