Korg M1

You can see it in this interview at 6:25-26

At 3:02 in this interview, Justin talks about his inspiration from Bruce Hornsby, and says, "I got that exact Korg M1."

In [this transcribed interview](http://music.hyperreal.org/artists/brian_eno/interviews/sos90b.html) from the October 1990 issue of *Sound On Sound* magazine, Eno is asked his recording process, and he replies "All the drum track are originally played on an M1 — they’re M1 sequenced drum tracks. Then they are quite severely treated so that they become more industrial sounding than the M1 would normally allow. But it’s the kind of thing that people generally do these days, you know."

A.R.Rahman used Korg M1 synthesizer during his early movies.

The Korg M1 is featured in the "Studio Equipment List" on Vince Clarke's website.

> I got really into the [Korg] M1. It’s very goofy until you find that one sound. The piano on [Lorde’s] ‘Green Light’ is a mixture of an upright piano and an M1 piano. And these sort of like dance sounds that come off an M1 are exciting.

"Although Numan writes all of his music on an aged upright piano, slowly adding effects, synth sounds and big beats, he also works with modern gear: Emagic Logic Audio Platinum and Digidesign Pro Tools on an Apple Mac G4 with two iZ Technology RADAR 24 digital recorders and a Mackie d8b desk. His synths are both soft and hard: Korg Wavestation, Alesis QuadraSynth, Korg M1, Roland D50 LA, GEM S2 Turbo and a Korg electric piano."

So, yeah, I have a Korg M1 that I use for the bass because it has a bunch of nice bass sounds.

Korg M1 can be seen at 1:00 on the video.

"Praise jah I've finally got my greasy paws on an M1."

"Zawinul did not stop at the Wurlitzer and Fender Rhodes electric pianos he used in the 1960s. By the late 1960s he was extending his sonic palette with effects like phase shifters, Echoplexes, wah-wahs and ring modulators, and when synthesizers came on the market he was among the first to buy one (the EMS Putney). The list of synthesizers he has used since then — among them the ARP 2600, Rhodes Chroma, Oberheim Four-voice and Eight-voice, ARP Quadra, Sequential Prophet 5 and Prophet T8, Korg Trident, Oberheim Xpander, Korg VC10 vocoder, Emu Emulator, Casio CZ101, Korg DW8000, DSS1, DSM1 and M1 — reads like a synth museum's treasure list."

Yanni used the Korg M1 in many songs. The one recorded example I could find was from the main chorus from 'Within Attraction'. You can see it on the top of the left-side tier.

This site states that Cale uses a Korg M1.

"The Korg M1 is one of my favourite synths ever, a total classic. I used to work a lot with the virtual version but the real synth is just unbelievable. Although it was one of the first digital synths the sound is much better in the hardware version."

"The rest of the system is quite limited really. There's an S1000, M1 - the Sugar Tax album is the M1. Every single pad, I think is M1. Not just M1, but program 07, 'Symphonic' and program 27 which is one of the choral patches. Those two dominate the album."
