KORG M1

The KORG M1 is a classic digital synthesizer created by the Japanese company KORG. First introduced in 1988, the M1 quickly became popular due to its versatility and high-quality sound.

The M1 features a 61-key keyboard with velocity and aftertouch sensitivity. It also boasts of 8-part multitimbrality, meaning it can play up to eight different sounds simultaneously.

One of the standout features of the M1 is its large library of sounds, consisting of over 300 preset programs and 100 drum kits. These sounds were created using KORG's proprietary AI Synthesis System, a technology that emulates analog circuits using digital signal processing.

The M1 also features built-in effects such as reverb, chorus, and delay, as well as an arpeggiator that can generate complex patterns based on the notes played.

Despite being over three decades old, the KORG M1 remains popular among musicians and producers today due to its iconic sound and versatility. Its influence can be heard in countless pop, rock, and electronic music productions from the late 80s and early 90s.
