The heart of the PXR4 is it's 4-track digital recorder, which records directly to SmartMedia cards. Three recording modes: standard, high-quality and economy, afford maximum flexibility by enabling you to select the one that's right for the task at hand depending on the recording quality and time you need. Standard mode provides good recording resolution and offers an excellent balance between recording quality and memory use. Economy mode delivers maximum recording time. SmartMedia cards from 4 (4MB cards will work in the PXR4, but offer limited amount of track memory. 8 to 128 MB cards are recommended) to 128 MB can be used via its built-in USB port. The PXR4 can also transfer song data to and from a computer in stereo MPEG format.

The PXR4 is loaded with user-friendly features: eight virtual tracks per track allow you to record multiple takes of the same track and select your favorite one. It's also the first pocket-sized multi-track recorder to deliver full editing capabilities: easy-to-use punch in/out, bounce, copy, delete. Time compression/expansion makes it possible to speed up or slow dow phrases without altering their pitch.

Its front panel contains five faders, one per track, plus one master fader, as well as controls for all the unit's key features. Selecting parameters and editing is easy. Plus, the PXR4's clear, backlit display uses an intuitive icon-based user interface.
The PXR4 also offers a full-sized complement of I/Os. For inputs, there are a 1/4" jack with a hi/low impedance switch plus a stereo line/mic' input. For outputs there are a 1/8" stereo out jack, a stereo headphone output and a USB.
The PXR4 boasts a full complement of 77 different built-in effects. It's equipped with 100 "factory" multi-effects programs (with up to five effects used at once) and enough room for an additional 100 user programs. The PXR4 relies on Korg's proprietary REMS Modeling Technology to deliver studio-quality effects that range fromrealistic models of guitar amps and pedals to some of the world's great microphones. Of course it also includes studio essentials like reverbs, delays, various modulations effects and more.
REMS, that's Resonant structure and Electronic circuit Modeling System, reproduces the complex character and nature of both acoustic and electric instruments as well as electronic circuits in real world environments.
Korg also added 55 different rhythm patterns (and 32 metronome patterns) that use high-quality PCM sounds. The patterns range from simple to complex and include Rock, Funk, Big Beat, House, Reggae, Hip-Hop, R & B, Disco, Dance, Jazz and more. You can use a rhythm pattern as a recording guide, or to create the rhythm track for you song.
