Ethnic
XSC-6S (XSC-806 + XPC-06)
Korg sold a PCM Card set called "Ethnic". (click here for details about PCM cards). This XSC-6S set came with a PCM Card (XSC-806) and Prog/Combi Card (XPC-06). As the sales literature said:

"The XSC-6S card contains ethnic sounds not in internal memory such as traditional Japanese instruments. There is a wide range of ethnic instruments; for example, Shakuhachi, Koto, Taiko, Tsutsumi, Sitar and Santur. In particular, the sounds of Sitar and Santur are excellent. The drum kits also contain unique ethnic sounds."

.
Detailed lists of the card contents has been compiled from sales literature, and PCM card literature sent by John Rogers. [2002Oct]

User Comments
"Great, eastern instruments, the Sitars are really spectacular as are the tamburas, santurs, and kotos. This is a really great set. Some nice percussion too." (2002Jul31, John Rogers)
