It also seems strange that the M1 has been given a new resonant filter but the Wavestation hasn't.Īll told, the Digital Edition is excellent. However, while we applaud Korg's keen eye for authenticity, we can't help wishing that we could load our own samples into the synths, especially the Wavestation. Still, this only adds to the authenticity of the emulation.įaults with the Digital Edition are few and minor. A few of the sample loops are too short and obvious, and there are artefacts in some of the samples (particularly on the ethnic patches). However, you can now play up to 256 voices, CPU willing. You still have Patches and Combis, and it remains eight-part multitimbral. The architecture of the M1 itself hasn't changed a whole lot. But thanks to the enhancements to the synthesis engine, they feel revitalised - these are some beautiful patches. Our old friend Lore is here, along with the M1 Universe and every other classic, overused timbre of the day. What's more, because Korg has given the M1 a resonant filter, the analogue patches sound a helluva lot more analogue than they did on the original model, and the new compression makes the drums more bombastic than they were in the 80s.Īnd those pads! The M1 was always a killer resource for thick, evocative pads. You get organs galore, and the timeless piano that you'll know from countless house tunes. These patches include everything from that familiar six-string guitar to sweet strings and brazen brass blasts. This brings the total number of banks to 19, and the patch count to well over 2500 - very nice indeed!
