There's no other synth like Korg M-1. It's special even today.

Out of this world! What a vision.

Sounds amazing! Another great set of sounds

[@kyma1999x]

usually one reminds m1 for house/dance pianos and organ, some atmospheric sounds like fairlight choirs or universe type stuff, and for other also...but it was also a quite capable synthesizer. it has many pure and high quality basic synwaves, even better than same into further korg stuff (and also interesting metallic and unusual waves). the filter is not very powerful but thanks to double oscillator, multienvelopes control, and a very capable (for the time) multi fx processor, it can do stuff. it suffers the factory patch syndrome, many original factory sounds got so big level of notoriety that put its hidden capabilities into shade. ...in a nutshell few people probably gave it a try spending time on deep programming, maybe also because at time every six months marvellous stuff appeared, sy77, wavestation,d70, sy99, jd800, jv80....hard competition in the league! these sounds give justice served to the instrument showing what m1 is really capable for, if one invest time mastering it (not only selecting programs and combi).

The M1 and Ensoniq ESQ-1 were my main boards back in the day. Good programming made each more capable than many knew. They complemented each other well! 😎👍🏼

[@AxisChemicals]

Those two are on my jasper stand and I love them so much esq1 is a beast too ! seated close to my beloved jx3p and tx81z and others. Peace

If I listened to this video blindfolded and you gave me a list of synthesizers to choose from that it might be, I'd never have figured a Korg M1. I continue to be impressed by how well you're able to push the M1 out of its own box and somehow make it sound both more contemporary and more vintage than it actually is. Anytime I read someone disparage the M1 as "just a ROMpler", I point them towards LFOstore M1 sounds for a better idea of what it can really do in the hands of a truly creative and skilled sound designer.

[@derekbaker3279]

I agree Josh. Nick is a very talented sound designer!

[@mrdali67]

It’s always been a real synth. Many sample based Synths was falsly mentioned as “Romplers”. Romplers was modules like the Roland U110 which had very few things you could change. As soon as you have both a full Adsr amp and filter EG and one or more LFO’s it is officially a Synth. The M1 was actually fairly well specced. It just missed a resonant filter. Biggest problem is the resolution in some of the first digital filters was low so you heard a clear stepping when doing filter sweeps. And eg the DWG wavetables sounded not nearly as good in the M1 and forward compared to the DW series analog filters.

[@user-jy3io4iz2p]

Never heard the M1 like this. Very nice!

[@lancegfoin9117]

I so miss my M1 but it never sounded this good! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@amonster8mymother]

I use my M1 for sequencing my rack. I have a QSR, TG55, TX81Z Aand two D110. 😁

[@amonster8mymother]

And the M1.

[@amonster8mymother]

Its tricky to find out which keyboard actually sends midi out but the M1 does a great job for an 8 track sequencer.

[@EdgyNumber1]

*This is great stuff.* I wish someone on KZbin would use this synth to play some more modern creations instead of reverting back to cliched '90s classics' videos. Audiopilz takes Bad Gear - often with cliched sounds (here's looking at _you,_ DX7) and creates some awesome new stuff with it. The M1 has still got a lot of utility left in it for new music, I'm sure.

[@moogsmiley4157]

Wonderful now I gotta get an M1 lol

[@derekbaker3279]

FYI, the Korg Legacy M1 VST is excellent. All of the Korg Legacy VSTs sound very close to the real synthesizer. I purchased the Legacy bundle & have enjoyed all of the emulations!

[@davidjazay9248]

It's really not that hard to program. Great sounds you got out of it. The joystick makes it quite expressive.

[@derekbaker3279]

Hi Nick.You have created another excellent soundset !👍Many of the sounds have a very dark, gloomy or tense mood, which I like.👍 Will you be creating a version of this soundset for the Korg Legacy M1 VST?

[@LFOstore]

Thanks! Its already done. :)

[@derekbaker3279]

@@LFOstore Excellent! I will look for it in your online store. :)

[@lovemadeinjapan]

Awesome! All regular programs or also combi's? I have all 16 PCM cards, but hearing this I'm not sure hunting them all down was needed. But maybe I can learn from the designs and make variations with the 12MB of other samples I have.

[@LFOstore]

Thanx! Also 40 combis

[@kyma1999x]

however the point is always the same....machines aren't limitless, biggest limits are users. not hardware but programmer/sound designer/musician makes the difference. uncapable one will not get good results neither out z1 or synclavier, while talented gets good stuff out of quite everything.

[@Arsalan-Pervez]

Were these created using the Factory provided PCM samples or new were added to create them?

[@LFOstore]

Only internal ones. This is based more on sound design approach than on new waves

Great sounds! How do I get your sounds into the machine? Thank you.

[@LFOstore]

Thanks! Instructions are included

[@anonymous_friend]

Are you doing sound design with a sysex editor or programmer?

[@LFOstore]

Using hands only

[@mufti-day]

Do you need pcm card to store these on machine?

[@LFOstore]

Nope

[@optimaforever]

The big fatty sounds sound very analog and are great! A pity that the reverb/delay of the M1 are so poor compared to the sound design.

[@Byron101_]

way too much reverb ^^

[@HighlandStudio91]

Mysteriously, this video popped up on my channel & out of morbid curiosity, I clicked on it(much in the same way you look at the scene of a car accident, when you don't really want to.) I had an M1 back when it was first released(mainly because it was an affordable synth with a midi sequencer.) My former Korg DS8(which I had sold to pay for the M1)...was a far better synth. Sorry...but in whatever manner you try to improve upon the sound of this sh*t-box, it's still going to sound like ass and as the saying goes, you cannot polish a turd. A word of advice to those who are obsessed with lo-fi; buy the software version( as not only will you save yourself several hundred dollars, you will also get every expansion soundset included and you will have virtually unlimited polyphony...as well as a multitude of sound layering and FX implementations.) All of Korg's software versions of their classic keyboards are flawless emulations and the added FX make all of these classic synths sound much better than the original.

[@lovemadeinjapan]

The video poster proves it is no shit box. Especially the T2 version is lovely, and very useful as real hardware. They are like 200€, and for that money you get an excellent 76 key instrument with 4x MIDI out, floppy drive for easier patch loading and 1MB sample space. There are moments you want to keep your computer shut off.

[@HighlandStudio91]

@@lovemadeinjapan All this video proves, is that people like you...are queer for retro-grade shit. The M1's entire factory ROM set is only 4MB. File compression in the '80s was in the dark age...as it was piss-poor quality(i.e...thin, shallow & tinny sounding.) Floppy disks are the most obsolete memory storage and are vulnerable to magnetic fields(so you could easily lose your info if the floppy discs are not stored properly.) If you like keyboards that sound like ass...then fine...but let's not put this shit-box on a pedestal & make it out to be anything more than what it was....utter garbage.
