Topping the list of software improvements are variable filter resonance, two Insert effects per part, and two Master effects. The M1 software synthesizer reconstructs the M1 into an eight-part multi-timbral tone generator featuring up to 256 notes of polyphony.

256-note polyphony (Maximum) 8 Part 3,100 presets sounds 400 user locations 950 PCM Waveforms 34 Types of on-board effects In 1988, the M1 created the workstation category and went on to become one of the top selling keyboards of all time, easily surpassing an amazing 100,000 units. The M1 is designed to run as a stand-alone program or as a VST, AU or RTAS Plug-in, making it compatible with nearly any DAW software studio package. And only Korg is able to offer all of the original sound data created for the M1 well over 3,000 sounds all together. As the original manufacturer, Korg is uniquely qualified to recreate our vintage digital synthesizers as software instruments. Team AiR 04/2013 Originally part of the Korg Legacy Collection: Digital Edition the M1 is now available individually.


This means that if you have or used to have an original T-series synthesizer, your original user Programs and Combinations can now be imported into the M1 software synthesizer and reproduced.

In conjunction with the addition of the T-series sounds, M1 v1.5 also adds the ability to import sound data from the original T-series (via SYX files). As well as the Programs and Combinations of the T-series instruments, the all additional PCM data and Programs/Combinations of the optional TSD-01 through 05 disks are also included*. Headed by the flagship T1 model with its 88-note weighted keyboard, the T-series appeared in 1989, further advancing the music workstation concept based on the "AI" synthesis that Korg had initiated with the M1.
