    Hello all,
    
    	So I have bought an M1 and so far
    I am very pleased with it. However I 
    would like to hear from anyone else
    out there who has one!!!

1822.1YEAH !!!!!COMICS::DSMMGRTue Dec 20 1988 15:179
    Yes, I too have an M1 and must say it seems to be the best in the
    price range at the moment... This of course IS subjective, but I
    am very happy (not to mention broke) with mine.

    P.S yes I know I said I wouldn't do this... so I lied... sue me...
    I just couldn't resist !!!
1822.2happy w/ mineISTG::MIYATAGaylord K Miyata DLB5-2/B3 291-8199Wed Dec 21 1988 20:2811
I've had one for a few months.  My D50 (using Roland and Voice Crystal
cards) sounds dull in comparison - when the D50 isn't given additional
processing.  

I usually use my MC-500 but have come up w/ 4 or 5 decent tunes/ideas using 
the M1's sequencer.  If I were going on a trip or away from my home studio, 
I'd take the M1, headphones, and a couple of RAM cards to work out ideas 
until I got back.

Eddie at EU, Worcester said 4 new PCM/ROM card pairs will be released by Korg
soon.

    i have one of them too,still reading the book how to use it.
    i find it very hard to follow their instructions,if any.
    can you get a better book?
1822.4Help is at hand...KERNEL::FLOWERSHero of the Green Screen...Tue Jan 03 1989 09:2916
    
    Hi there,
    
    	I agree the manual is a bit technically orientated
    for myself but help at hand. According to the December
    issue of Keyboard, Alexander Publishing (3537 Old 
    Conejo Road, Suite 101, Newbury Park, CA 91320)
    have released a book calles KORG M1 Sequencing and
    Recording Handbook ($27.95), and they say that
    a similar book on M1 programming is in the works.
    Hope this helps.
    
    
    Jason.
    
    PS. Got any good patches???

    Hi,
    
    I bought an M1 about 2 months ago, and am having a lot of fun with
    it. This is the first time I have owned a synthesiser, so I am going
    through quite a learning curve...what a good thing this conference
    is here !

1822.6REPLY to EPSKERNEL::FLOWERSThe final countdown...Fri Feb 17 1989 07:2413
    
    Ok , this is just a quick note to reply
    to the statement in the EPS topic where 
    someone said that on an M1 you cant 
    have the seqeuncer playing and play
    the keyboard at the same time....
    Wrong!!!!!!!
    
    All you have to do is select which track you
    are going to play in the seqencer window and
    away you go.
    
    Jason.
1822.7SALSA::MOELLERA bazillion MIPS ?.... really ?Fri Feb 17 1989 20:029
    Made a new friend Monday, fellow owns a 32-track recording studio.
    He played me a tape he'd made using the M1 ONLY, utilizing its internal
    sequencer.
    
    really nice !
    
    So, as my TAX money nears, wot's a good price on the rack unit?

	Nobody answered Karl's question, now a friend of mine (let's 
not worry about names :-))  is asking what the best deal is and where.
OK, so its almost June - they must have dropped the price a bit ???
