The Good Doctor (Simon) mentioned this product in the Open Discussion area, so I did some research and got pretty interested.

Does anyone have one of these things? They look pretty cool, and the reviews on Harmony Central seem positive. For those who don't know, this is a "pocket-sized" 4-track digital recorder for those of us with 8" x 12" pockets.

On the Korg site, it says that it records at 32 kHz. I'm not sure whether this is good or not, but don't standard mp3's play at around 128 kHz? [Actually, I just looked at my Windows media player, and it says "160 kilobits/second - what's the difference? (I know there is one)].

It says that it has 8 virtual tracks for each of the 4 tracks; records on SmartMedia cards (from 4-128 MB); has a built-in condenser mike; oh, and it's Steve Vai endorsed for all you nuts out there (here's a song he recorded on the PXR-4).

Well, comments, please! Thanks!
