A complete reproduction – and more - of the legendary M1 that defined an era
Mobile Digital Synthesizer for the iPad

Since it went on sale in 1988 the legendary M1 music workstation rapidly achieved record-breaking sales, becoming a mainstay of the music scene from the late 1980s and beyond. The common element of electronic instruments that have left their name in history is that they had a unique sound that was difficult if not impossible to replicate. Sounds such as the “M1 Piano” is instantly recognizable and have appeared on countless hit records over many years, and yet these are sounds that could only be produced by the M1. And that’s what you can now have on your iPad!

● A faithful reproduction of the original M1 Sound
The PCM data provides the library of the original M1. For the hardware, we analyzed the circuit diagram of the original design, and completely replicated it in software down to the last detailed parameters. Engineers with an exhaustive knowledge of the M1 made careful adjustments in order to obtain the sound of the original unit, something that cannot be obtained simply by sampling the original sounds.

● A continued evolution of the M1
Not content with simply reproducing the original, iM1 provides further evolutionary developments. Synth parts now have the Filter Resonance that was requested at the time of the original, as well as VDA modulation. The effect parts, originally consisting of only two effects, have been powered-up to 18 effects. The user interface has also been refreshed with additions such as a KAOSS pad. iM1 is the ultimate version of the KORG M1.

● A gigantic library encompassing 3,300 sounds and 34 cards*
In addition to all 19 of the ROM cards originally released for the M1, iM1 also covers the sounds of the M1EX which expanded the internal PCM of the M1, as well as the sounds of the KORG T-series which appeared as an evolution of the M1. There’s also “BEST OF M1”, a selection of 100 great M1 programs. The new “Smart Sound Browser” makes it quick to find the desired sound. You can also view the sounds ranked by how often they are selected by iM1 users around the world.
*with all the Expansion Card installed via In-App Purchase

● KAOSS pad lets anybody perform
iM1 features a KAOSS pad from the popular KAOSSILATOR, allowing you to perform intuitively just by touching the screen. By using the dual KAOSS pads to play phrases or adjust the sound, even people who are not accustomed to keyboard instruments or knowledgeable about synthesizers can enjoy performing the iM1. There’s also a conventional keyboard, as well as the “Smart Keyboard”, which lets you specify a scale setting and play phrases with a single finger.

● Use with KORG Gadget and GarageBand for song production
iM1 can be used together with Gadget, the music production DAW app that won the App Store Best App of 2014 award in Japan. If both apps are installed, you can use iM1 as a sound module within Gadget, taking advantage of the program sounds in iM1 for music production. iM1 also supports Audiobus and Inter-App Audio, so it can also be used for GarageBand etc.

● Connect a MIDI keyboard and use as a sound module
In addition to enjoying iM1 on its own, you can connect a USB MIDI keyboard* via a Lightning adaptor (sold separately) and play the iM1 as an external sound module. You can easily take along an even more powerful workstation sound module as part of your iPad-based compact mobile system.
*microKEY 25Key, nanoKEY2, taktile series

● Interchangeable with the KORG Legacy Collection and the original M1
Sounds that you create in iM1 can be sent from your iPad via iTunes to a Mac/PC. If you have the Legacy Collection M1, you can use those sounds in a DAW. Data compatibility is maintained not only with the plug-in but also with the original M1; this means that you can transfer data in system exclusive format from the original M1. It’s a dream come true!

POLY LOVES PHASHI 4

Published on May 24, 2015 Smokey Quartz

"In this video the Ekdahl Polygamist makes love to the Tocante Phashi. Or is it the other way around? Either way, it is consensual but not very "sensual" in the ordinary sense. Stick around as towards the end I start making out with Phashi to make Poly jealous… don't worry, I don't lick it.. hot breaths only!"

Alesis S4 Plus Synthesizer Demo Songs

Published on May 24, 2015 Sound Programming

"Factory demo songs from the Alesis S4 Plus synthesizer recorded direct with no additional effects.

The S4 Plus is the rackmount version of the QuadraSynth Plus. It is an upgraded version of the S4 with a larger sound ROM and more preset patches. Like the other members of the QuadraSynth family, it can be expanded via Alesis Q Cards.

This is probably the least visually interesting of all synth demos, with the display not showing song names or numbers, only a message that the demo is playing.

JEN SX-2000 Preset Analog Synthesizer Korg Micro-Preset

Published on May 24, 2015 keyboard resource

"The addition of a VCF and VCA section and four wave shapes to choose makes the JEN SX-2000 much more versatile than other preset synths like the ARP Pro-Soloist, Roland SH-1000/2000, Yamaha SY-1/2 or Korg Micro-Preset M500. This is just a fun little synthesizer."

Blurry pic of the front, but you get the idea.

via the seller: "Up for sale is my Arturia Mini-brute that has custom timber sides and back. The Case is nothing special really, it made out of pine and in few places it has dints and scratches. The timber was oiled and polished when made. I'm also posting the original sides along with the screws, so you can put the stock sides back on if you like.

It also has a custom logo I stuck on as an afterthought, a spare from another project I built. Its superglued on, so if you want to take it off it might be a hassle.

Comes with blank patch sheets and preset patch sheets."

"Roland's first of the first of preset tone to' Fantasia 'in the programmer PG-1000 of the rack version of D-550 digital synthesizer D-50 I tried to tone changed. Originally intended for making the sound, and I think that there is no one move too much during the performance, but dare to how to use, such as analog synth, what sound to the tried and whether the trial will change. between hold because that did not way from the TR-909 I tried to put the drum sound.

ARTURIA MINI BRUTE EVENTIDE SPACE DEMO

Published on May 23, 2015 farmyfarm

"A fast demo showcasing how the Eventide Space Reverb and Arturia MiniBrute interact with each other through Midi Time Clock and MIDI CC #s. It's a generic sort of repetitive arpeggio. All the sounds are from the MB in realtime. Using the ZOOM Q4 to record the audio and video. Drums are the EM-U SP-1200 again with my TR-707 Master Clocking the SP, Volca Beats, MiniBrute and the Eventide Space. A bit boring but it def shows how well these two sound together.
