Got this in my high school, and after 30+ years I still enjoy designing interesting sounds out of its PCM and digitalized analog waveforms. Granted it's no true Analog or FM synth, but lots of time you can get close if you are good. You can isolate out the attack of PCM, which then can be combined with DWGS or PCM loop to create 'synth acoustic' sounds that can only be synthesized by 8-operator FM. It takes a creative mind(not preset player) to fully explore M1's potential !

@@VultureCulture Well when I was just a kid my dad who was the keyboard player of a local band took me along to music shops often. I still remember seeing a JX3P and a Poly 61. I now own a JX3P and a DW8000 as well as a JX10. Love them. I also found a D50 in mint condition a couple of years a go for a mere 350 euro. And Newer but also awesome machine is the Waldorf Q. And one of my first racks was a Korg O3RW, the smaller version of the 01. I bought it new and never sold it. It has a few unique sounds you don't find anywhere else. I feel old and new stuff has it's distinct qualities. We should cherish those.

No, EP 1, 2 and 4 are reasonably different, not sounding the same. EP3 are close to 4 though, though still with different harmonic content. In addition, Digital 2 and Digital 4 on M1 were programmed more like poly, but they can easily become great EP sounds with proper ADSR.

I agree that it has a certain kind of warmth, uncommon in latter romplers. The sounds are a bit of a hit and miss, not surprising since collecting all those samples and creating "programs" from them was quite a monumental task back then. And still to this day it's hard to find, for example, a good sounding trumpet or sax in a keyboard. It deserves a lot of love for that, but unless one is making music deliberately evocative of the era, or more probable, have some nostalgic attachment to its sounds, I doubt it would get much work in a modern studio environment. I used to use some of its bass sounds, and it had a certain type of charm and depth, and some of the piano presets when I needed something to absolutely smash through a mix like a rock through a window, but ultimately it's very hard to make it sound un-cheesy. By the way, it's all over Queen's The Miracle and Innuendo albums, for afficionados of the instrument.

The "Cheesy" part is what people like about all those common used M1 sound like the Piano1, Organ and the Sax sound. But we have come along way since then. Try playing a Yamaha Genos and try different solo Woodwind, brass and strings instruments of their S.art sounds. The quality you get of just "playing" the sounds is stunningly close to the real thing without having to work with like 10 different articulation switching keys in your left hand. And if you have just a fair knowledge of each instruments range and playing style you can get them to sound even better even the idea primarily is to make home players sound more like a "Pro" with close to no effort. Just the standard logic put into these sounds for automaticly selecting a usefull articulation is amazing. And it's only going to improve as they put AI into it in the comming years. It's certainly not perfect and a Professional Orchestral Sampling library is still better but also near to impossible to play "live". Those are definetly ment to be recorded into a daw and then adding different layers of articulations and Expression afterwards. The S.art sounds are also in the Montage and ModX line synths, but the arrangers are more focused on having a full selection of real instruments OOTB,where the Synths is focused on programability.

Afaik or remember the filter in the M/T series is resonant, but not to the Extreme as most analog predecessors. Also the LFO is pretty well done together with the pretty well done aftertouch implementation. The default settings on the factory presets is jus very subtle but can be turned much more exreme. The feel of the aftertouch was just so nice on the M/ T series. This is one of my favorit Yamaha keybeds ever. Definetly better than the modern FSX beds. Can’t say i ever liked the drums. Maybe for effects but i loved those JMJ voice resamples they did. Not sure what sampler they are from but they were used on the Zoolok album.

I always Saw the M1 and T3 as the culmination of the “big sound” synth revolution that the D50 started where you made up with having to have several stacked synth sounds together to create really big sounds. No doubt that the added 2 multi effect processors which was quite good for late 80’s standards was part of the succes’s and yet still having that kinda gritty sound of 12 bit samples.

@@VultureCulture hmm I may be wrong on that then. I just remember getting pretty well into it as I edited most of the instrument samples the M1 had to get them to sound the best possible, cause I used it for sequencing and live play with a Roland RD250 in the bottom and some Roland Arranger table model. I was playing with a Drummer using a D-Drum 2 set, which I would really like to see again on some vintage hardware site. Those D-Drum sets was pretty mind blowing back in the days and there is very little info on the net about them. I know they were heavy used in the US back then in many recording studios. I guess everyone forgot about them after Roland introduced the V-Drums. And the US company that baught the scraps from Clavia (Nord today) Newer developed on them and only sells some very basic beginner E-drum sets beside their acoustic drum sets. So if you know someone that is into retro E-drums would very much like to see some of that 😘There Must be some Drum people that is just as cracy about retro e-drum gear as us keyboardists about Synths 😅

@@mrdali67 According to the original manual and old Korg brochures the internal M1 samples are 16 bit and the VDF has no resonance. However: The Korg T1 / T2ex / T3ex are capable of loading DSM-1 samples, which are 12 bit. So before you can use them, they have to be converted to 16 bit. This is what I found out about how that is done: "There are two sources of samples for the T1: samples from Korg's own DSM1 sampler (but not their earlier DSS1) and from forthcoming T-series sample disks which are loaded from the synth's onboard disk drive, and samples from any other sampler loaded in via MIDI. Because the T1 has to convert from the DSM1's 12-bit resolution to 16-bit resolution, you have to select a special DSM1 loading routine - and then you can go and make the proverbial cup of tea, because loading is a slow process. However, once you have DSM1 samples In memory you can save them to another disk as T1 samples, in which case they'll load a good deal more quickly the next time. After trying out a healthy variety of Korg DSM1 sample library disks I can say that the samples transfer very well to the T1, exhibiting clarity and good dynamic range."

The software version of the Triton Extreme has all the goodness of the M1, plus some nice enhancements. The Triton Extreme has more sounds for Urban genres and rock genres. It has much more realistic acoustic pianos with some nice layers. It has more diverse string and brass sounds. The synths have portamento and a resonant filter the original M1 does not. More realistic doesn’t necessarily mean better though, so the sounds of the M1 still hold up against the Triton Extreme.

Not much knobs and sliders for realtime-editing available on this one.
