Anyone happy with Korg M1 Legacy software?

If you liked the hardware M-1 you should love the M-1 in software. It comes with all the cards. Admittedly some of the sounds are not useful and many of them sound similar, but you have hundreds to choose from,they are quality and they can all be tweaked. You can also set it up as a multi.
 
You should be able to get it from the Korg Website or maybe at a discount from a vendor. I am not aware of any recent sales but there may be.
 
 
I wish more companies that made famous keyboards would do this.I use mine a lot.
 
 

another +1.  Wouldn't be without it.

Another big +1

If you think M1 its the cats meow
try the Wavestation  just a gas to play with\
 
especially how the virtual joystick mimics the vector mixing

It used to be cheaper if you get the collection by buying the Korg microkeys 61, than purchasing the collection itself when it's not on offers. The recent offer is the exception, not sure if it's ended. If it's ended, get the microkeys :) , but only the 61 keys version is packaged with the full collection, I think.
 
I've collected some hardware synths (D70, Yamaha SY, Alesis QS..) but missed the whole Korg series, so it's good to have it. Just that I've not gone deep into the sound yet, as I seem to use the AAS collection for most of my projects. On a recent project, I was looking for an organ sound in a hurry and remembered there are some in the M1 soundset.. pull it out, but it's not suitable. Ended up choosing one from Dim Pro, DSF libraries.
 
If you're used to the Korg hardware, I suppose it's immediately more useful.

Absolutely +1 from me - have the legacy collection and M1 - had them many years - they are still some of the best emulations around - and I have a REAL M1 and Wavestation and believe me its hard to tell the difference!

I bought the Korg Legacy WS, then picked up the M1.
Both are pretty darn good, but if I had to choose between them, I'd think I'd go with the WS.
 

M1 Legacy came bundled w a $50 Nano Kontrol2 at Guitar Center. Handy device, handy softsynth.

Another +1 to Korg M1 softsynth.

great sounds, cheap price 64bit now and 32bit, stable.  tons of free sounds out on the web.
 
get them, which ever of the legacy plugins you want, you wont be disappointed.
 
I own M1, Wavestation and the effects.  love them all.  Im bnot into analog plugins much but have heard so much good stuff I might have to eventually pick up the rest.
 
can't go wrong, really good buy even at the individual price, bundle is better.

My M1 Legacy came with cards 1 through 21, a KLC card, cards TI 1 through 11 as well as 4 user (RAM) cards. All cards but the user cards came loaded with sounds. The user cards are for your creations.
 
I hope this helps.

Thanks.  I think I will put this on my "to buy" list.  I owned many synths, but only one was a korg.  It is long gone.  So it would be nice to have classic Korg tones by getting the M1 legacy vst.  Almost a no-brainer even without a sale.

I remember trying to look for that M1 zip file about a year ago, and couldn't find it. If anyone does find a link to these additional sounds, please do post it here.
 
Thanks!!

Thanks!!

When I get home I will look at the file name I have and see if I can locate a active web page with the file.
 
if not I can send you the file, the author that combined all the sysex banks stated that they were freely distributable as long as the whole zip file was sent and not repackaged etc.

I just checked and it looks like those files has been taken down, Korg Legacy Collecton – page #3 – the ultimate collection of M1……….., error 404 – because they contained copyrighted material.

Jeff, the legacy M1 can directly import sysex data. Just click on the type of sysex you want to import (program, combi or multi) and the browser then click on the user card you want to use. Click on the file box, that is the small one under program mode, and import. Find the sysex you want to import and click ok. You can have all four user cards loaded at once.
 
I hope this helps.
