★ ★ ★ KORG iM1 Overview

     

What is KORG iM1? The iM1 app is a complete reproduction of the legendary M1 music workstation that defined an era. It is a mobile digital synthesizer for the iPad that was selected by Apple as "App Store Best of 2015" and ranked #1 on the App Store on Top Paid Music category in more than 20 countries. The app provides a faithful reproduction of the original M1 sound and further evolutionary developments. It has a gigantic library encompassing 3,300 sounds and 34 cards, a KAOSS pad for intuitive performance, and can be used with KORG Gadget for song production. It can also be connected to a MIDI keyboard and used as an external sound module.



Software Features and Description

1. Engineers with an exhaustive knowledge of the M1 made careful adjustments in order to obtain the sound of the original unit, something that cannot be obtained simply by sampling the original sounds.

2. If both apps are installed, you can use iM1 as a sound module within Gadget, taking advantage of the program sounds in iM1 for music production.

3. By using the dual KAOSS pads to play phrases or adjust the sound, even people who are not accustomed to keyboard instruments or knowledgeable about synthesizers can enjoy performing the iM1.

4. In addition to enjoying iM1 on its own, you can connect a USB MIDI keyboard* via a Lightning adaptor and play the iM1 as an external sound module.

5. In addition to all 19 of the ROM cards originally released for the M1, iM1 also covers the sounds of the M1EX which expanded the internal PCM of the M1, as well as the sounds of the T-series which appeared as an evolution of the M1.

6. The common element of electronic instruments that have left their name in history is that they had a unique sound that was difficult if not impossible to replicate.

7. You can easily take along an even more powerful workstation sound module as part of your iPad-based compact mobile system.

8. There’s also a conventional keyboard, as well as the “Smart Keyboard”, which lets you specify a scale setting and play phrases with a single finger.

9. Since it went on sale in 1988 the legendary M1 music workstation rapidly achieved record-breaking sales, becoming a mainstay of the music scene from the late 1980s and beyond.

10. Sounds such as the “M1 Piano” is instantly recognizable and have appeared on countless hit records over many years, and yet these are sounds that could only be produced by the M1.

11. For the hardware, we analyzed the circuit diagram of the original design, and completely replicated it in software down to the last detailed parameters.

  • My Go-to Synth on iOS

    By Rhcole (Pcmac user)

    Like many others, I have bought quite a few iOS synths. They are like jellybeans, it’s tough to stop at one. Unlike a number of other synths though, this is the synth I choose for quick renderings of ideas, or a fast patch that fills a mood. It is simple enough that I can edit and change patches relatively quickly, but versatile and rich enough to fill many needs. I will say that it doesn’t have the punch and power of the best iOS analog emulations, so you may want to add those for your muscular synth sounds. Also, many sounds are very similar to those produced by iWavestation. The difference is that iWS followed this synth and is more complex but adds greater animation to the sounds. It’s not as easy to use and program but was the next generation product (though still 25 years old). I have both products by the app. They are well-rendered and sound amazing. Add a ballsy analog synth and you are pretty close to having it all.
  • Fun to play with if you don't see it as a sampler!

    By Korg Fan (Pcmac user)

    This is the perfect synthesizer for layering sounds! I don't simply treat it as a sampler but a Linear Arithmetic and DWGS synth that can have sounds layered and split in different ways! I also find the presets and samples interesting because of their "Japanese" sound. It is also one of the few Multi-Timbral apps. This means that each preset can be assigned to its own Midi channel.
  • Nearly perfect

    By QuinnX. (Pcmac user)

    Really good synth with great presets. Synthesis engine has a lot to make great sounds however, for whatever reason every time you are editing a patch which would have many levels of effects, as soon as you try to select a different waveform for any Osc the patch or sound outputs solo and DRY which means you can't audition your patch while selecting different waveforms, you are forced to exit the edit page before it will allow you to hear your change. This has to be the most idiotic procedure I have ever seen in any synth and makes creating or editing patches useless and chore! the app FIX! This! Please
  • Reliving the 80s

    By HokieKev (Pcmac user)

    I love this app. Google iM1 Program Change and Audio Bus 3 and you can get a list of the bank and program numbers so that you can select patches from a midi controller or other program. Hope they make this into an Audio Unit. That would be awesome.
