Sound
Sonically, the DSS-1 has more diversity in sound than any Korg synthesizer released up to that date. The 12-bit resolution and the capability for full-blown samples gave it an edge over the 8-bit DW-6000/8000 digital waveform synthesizers. The DSS-1 can be used as a hybrid synthesizer as well as a sample-playback keyboard (i.e. "ROMpler").
Now, with its comparatively tiny 256k of RAM, the DSS-1 is most useful as a powerful hybrid polysynth with a sampling option, rather than as a regular sampler.

Famous quotes containing the word sound:
“Envy awakens at the sound of a distant laugh.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Sophocles long ago
Heard it on the Aegaean, and it brought
Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
Of human misery; we
Find also in the sound a thought,
Hearing it by this distant northern sea.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“I don’t want to listen; your words sound like the truth but the truth is probably a sin.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
