“Up for sale is a Korg DSS-1 Sampling Synthesizer Keyboard w/ Road Case – Bad Floppy Drive
I bought this at an estate sale a couple years ago
I was meaning to play it a bit, but it turned out to be much more complicated to use than I thought
From what I can see, there doesn’t appear to be any built in sounds, and from plinging away at it, I could just get some faint staticy sounds when pressing the keys
I tried formatting a floppy disk, but while the disk spins, the drive head doesn’t seem to be moving, and it eventually just times out.
Since I have no idea how to use it, other than the bad floppy drive, I don’t know what, if anything, else is wrong with it
Does come with a nice Road/Flight case and I will be putting the keyboard into the flight case into the original cardboard box to ship everything.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
“- Used in good condition for the almost 30 year age of the synth.
– In full working order, including the disk drive and performance disk. Recently used and tested.
– No significant dents or scratches for the 30 year age of the synth (again, it shows some wear, and is in good condition, not mint).
– Includes power cord.
– Local Los Angeles / Orange County Pickup Available.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Korg DSS-1 sampling synthesiser sold in, as far as I can tell, fully working order. The screen works and it has all the slider knobs which I know can become lost on other machines. Some minor scratches and other cosmetic damage which should be visible in the photos but otherwise in good condition. The disc drive sounds like it is alive but I have never used it so cannot be sure of its operational status. All the keys work though one or two are a bit sticky so it probably needs a good dust out inside. Being sold as seen as it is now just an elaborate door-stop. I am happy to switch it on and show that it works on collection and let the buyer try it but I cannot be responsible for anything that occurs after that and on that basis cannot accept returns. Thus, selling on good faith that it is operational but bear in mind it is a 30+ year old machine and has not been used for ten of those so take this into account when bidding though I am sure that collectors / enthusiasts out there know more about this sort of thing than I. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This DSS-1 is in fantastic shape. All keys, buttons, sliders, etc function as they should. The LCD screen works as it should also. There are no cracked or broken keys and no notable signs of wear anywhere on it. This synth spent much of its life in storage after the original owner gave it to a music production program. It has been tested and verified to be functional. Due to the fact that this is used we do not offer returns on it! We do guarantee it will be in the stated condition upon arrival to you.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
” Korg DSS1 in good shape. System wont get beyond the initial introduction splash page on the LCD (see pic 2) Stays on “***Korg DSS-1 Sampling Synthesizer *** screen. I cant get it to make any sound. Not sure why this is happening. Synth was given to me by a friend who was moving, I thought it might be something I could handle and fix. I have no skills in this area, so I am stumped.
It might be a software problem. Maybe a bad chip. I dont know.
Thanks for looking.”

I have had a professional technician completely service this synth and install the Straylight Engineering internal flash drive so you no longer need to use floppy discs as the entire library is stored on an internal thumb drive.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
” This is a rare upgraded Korg DSS-1 (DSS-MSRK). It has 2 megabytes in RAM, SCSI port with an external 20 Megabyte self powered hard drive (Hyperdrive FX/20). Over 50 sound disks, all original manuals, and flight case. I had the upgrade done in 1988. It is my understanding that there were only somewhere about 250-300 of these upgrades ever done from Korg. Everything works perfect and is in excellent condition. The case is worn, but it does it’s job. Originally purchased DSS-1 for 2300.00 dollars, upgrade 1,000.00 dollars, hard drive another 1,000.00 and case 150.00 dollars. To say it drained my bank account back in 1988 is an understatement, but I loved sampling and the sounds were great! Own a great keyboard and a piece of history!” Click here to visit listing on eBay
“You’re bidding on a Working Vintage 1986 Analog Korg DSS-1 Synthesizer with Star Flight Case. The unit powers up and all push buttons function and light up as intended. I was unable to test the keys as I do not have the instrument floppy disks. The original power plug was removed and a cord was spliced in. I suspect the former owner couldn’t locate a replacement cord. I checked the splice and wrapped it in new electrical tape. The leftmost key sticks in the down position, but pops back up when touched. There are general surface scratches consistent with a piece of this age.
Also included in the auction is a Star Flight Case. I have wire-wheeled all of the aluminum trim and handles to the best of my ability, removed the old foam and glue, and installed new foam purchased directly from Star Case here in Indiana. Please note there are two more pieces of foam to be installed to ensure the DSS-1 will fit properly. Star Case estimates the case to be 1980’s vintage. There are a few small scuff marks on the black portions of the case. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Der Korg DSS-1 zählt zu den ganz großen Klassikern der 80er Jahre und ist nur mehr selten zu bekommen. Der DSS-1 arbeitet noch mit echten, analogen Filtern, kann jedoch Dank additiver Synthese auch Digital-Klänge erzeugen. Der 12-BitSampler klingt “Vintage” sehr gut und brilliert durch eine komplette analoge Nachbearbeitung mit VCF, VCA und Hüllkurven.
Dieses Gerät ist eine einmalige Spezialanfertigung und birgt einen vollständigen DSS-1 in einem praktischen 19″ Gehäuse. Nicht zu verwechseln mit dem DSM-1, der keine analogen Filter mehr hat.
