The M1 software synthesizer reconstructs the M1’s sound engine into an eight-part multi-timbral tone generator featuring up to 256-note polyphony. Although today’s high bit-rate and high sample-rate sound libraries deliver greatly improved audio quality, it is difficult to find sounds with real character, sounds that can’t be described purely in terms of specifications – sounds that are available only from the M1. From the famous “M1 Piano” sound through electric pianos, organs, synth pads, drums, and picked basses, numerous sounds available only from the M1 were taken up by musicians and producers around the world, and are still in use today.

As a pioneer of PCM tone generation, it was notable not just for the reality of its sound, but also for the distinctive tonal character that demonstrated the high level of Korg’s voicing technology. Along with its innovative workstation concept, the M1’s AI (Advanced Integrated) synthesis system used PCM waveforms and digital effects to deliver polished, production-ready Program and Combination sounds.

As the first workstation synthesizer, it was a definitive element in the sound of the late ’80s through early ’90s. Introduced back in 1988, the M1’s popularity steadily grew to exceed an amazing 100,000 users. – Operability confirmed DAW software* (latest version) * as of Mar 22, 2022Ībleton Live 11 / Logic Pro X / GarageBand 10 / Cubase Pro 12 / Cubase Pro 11 / Studio One 5.5 / Digital Performer 10 / FL Studio 20 / Reason 11 / ProTools 2022 Via Bluecat Patchwork Included In The Bundleīack by popular demand: the definitive software version of the classic M1, the Korg synthesizer that established the PCM synth sound.
