«  Superb! »

Published on 02/16/12 at 06:35
It's a double M1 has a keyboard 88 keys (keyboard SG1D of the time), with a more flexible use of the sequencer and mode combi!
Comprehensive MIDI keyboard, 1 IN - 2 OUT (A) - 2 OUT (B) - 1 THRU, and four separate outputs.
Polyphony to 16 voices!

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use and programming of sounds and very easy. This Korg T1 combines actually two devices in one, first of all a sound module with a sequencer workstation type forming the 90s (at least the beginning), and a full keyboard controller. What makes this keyboard may well have two lives, first using its sounds, and a second mode "local off" only to drive plug-ins!

Sequencer using super simple, it is mostly a very good notebook, with 8 tracks because it does not go very far, but I'm pretty used before a hard dedicated sequencer.

Important: in the "Global", there is a parameter Combi Mode, which allows the use of an external sequencer in addition to internal sounds of T1. This does not appear in the record, so this setting has been an update of the internal soft!

SOUNDS

The sounds of M1, we know, those of the T series have been reworked and sound a little less dull. The dynamics are excellent, especially on the battery, no resonant filter but saw the PCM internally they may be warranted. We must acquire the series SDT-sounds, the sounds of ten disks, there are good PCM!!
I always use some of its sounds, as always it seems to me important to personalize the instrument by programming is the key!

OVERALL OPINION

My T1 over 20 years and has served faithfully. Since, in addition to its internal sounds, several pilot expanders and it still allows the musician to express themselves!
Her touch is very good and versatile shows a goodly it has no mechanical hammer sounds more realistic acoustic pianos. But to interpret the sounds of synths, tablecloths, electric pianos, this T1 is very nice!
At the time, 32-voice polyphony and a 16-track sequencer would have been welcome especially with the arrival of the excellent 01w one year later!
Reliability side, nothing to say it's solid, keyboard on top, but be careful to control buttons in a little fragile facade and the backlight of the screen darkens after fifteen years, but its replacement is not very complicated to make and inexpensive.
