Equipped with audio recording and playback and a four-channel mixer, the KR-55 Pro is more than just a rhythm machine.
Korg have maintained a long, strong and loyal commitment to the rhythm machine market, and their latest offering, the KR-55 Pro multi-function rhythm machine, combines the convenience of pre-programmed, sample-based rhythms with an SD card-based audio recorder/player and a four-channel on-board mixer to produce a unit that is designed to meet the requirements of live performance, rehearsal and songwriting rhythm duties.
The Box
Many early Korg rhythm machines featured wooden (or wood-effect) panels in order to match the cosmetics of the electronic organs of the day, and the KR-55 Pro carries on that tradition. On the rear-panel of its chunky chassis you’ll find a slot for an optional, though absolutely essential, SD card, the left (mono) and right outputs plus the input for the optional Vox VFS5 footswitch on quarter-inch jacks, and two stereo mini-jacks for the aux input and the single headphone output. Power to the unit comes either via a 9V DC external power supply or, for mobile use, from six AA batteries, whose remaining charge can be displayed across the first eight drum-style select buttons.
The KR-55 Pro’s front panel is oriented horizontally and is divided into four functional areas. On the left at the top, a balanced microphone (dynamic mics only) XLR connector and twin instrument inputs on quarter-inch jacks sit next to two illuminated soft-switch buttons that activate the on-board silent tuning facility and Korg’s proprietary Acoustage function. Acoustage widens the apparent stereo width of the KR-55 Pro’s main and headphone outputs, although the user manual does recommend turning it off when using headphones and notes that the effect is not recorded by the on-board recorder. On the far right sits the unit’s illuminated on/off soft switch.
Next up is a row of rotary controls for the KR-55’s on-board four-channel mixer. From the left, you’ll find the level knobs for its four inputs — the mic and two instruments plus the Rhythm/Play input. This latter input carries either the output of the rhythm machine or the audio being replayed from an SD card (which must be formatted on the KR-55 Pro). Next comes the assignable reverb and the global treble and bass controls, the effect of the latter two being heard at the main and headphone outputs, but not recorded by the on-board recorder. A master volume control completes the mixer strip.
