Beautiful finishes, keyboard master reference today!

UTILIZATION

The M1 is the simplification of the synthesis par excellence ...

The ergonomic design is perfectly suited to its capabilities,
Everything is done to make it as musical as possible approach.

We feel that the musicians contribute to make this workstation (see references in the net), often compared with the Roland D-50:
In fact, even if the AI ​​synthesis of M1 is very close to the LA D-50 (but simpler, fewer parameters), we have two quite different instruments:
The M1 features a "double" multi-effects (such as a flanger + reverb, or more complex)
a system of combinations of sounds very intuitive, a small but very effective filter ...
A sequencer which will be useful if you use it other than to compose whole pieces.

The M1 is a reference to an ergonomic all-digital synthesizer!

SOUNDS

The M1 sounds of beauty, a unique expression!
The original patches are great but very marked late 80's,

Of course, once programmed his desire, he may lose some of their Type 80's ...
I definitely want to stress that it is a synthesizer: a customizable tool!
I really feel that some did not understand that, and they just judge the pre-recorded sounds without having seen the potential of the instrument to create their own sounds.

The PCM's internal covers both the analog (square waveforms, etc ...) and acoustic instruments (the superb fretless bass ...)

It is the only one that generates choirs of this type, I think that's the main reason that made me want to buy it
Sounds very clean, very smooth, no grain sexy, but a presence like no other face of current workstations.

We know immediately or you will when you create a sound unlike this same concept today (eg M3)

Its internal sounds contain everything you need to combine a wide range of sounds, the key is there (the expansion cards, except one that increases the polyphony, are in fact no real interest)

The M1 is especially interesting to get if you search this end his 80's, but beyond that is more than a vulgar ROMpler (I do not even have that term)

A workstation with high Identities

OVERALL OPINION

The M1 has its own reason for becoming a legend

a superb workstation, aesthetically
and technically very homogeneous (sounds, parameters) without the current devices.
