*UPDATE* 05.15.2008: The unit no longer has a low battery warning upon power up. The battery was replaced with a brand new one. The unit upon power up displays the initial programming screen (can be seen in pictures below).
Up for auction is a used Korg M1R Music Workstation. The original owner's manual isn't included, but a PDF version of it will be included on a CDR. The Buy It Now is set at $1000.00 with the option of Make Offer. All reasonable offers will be considered. The possible buyer that offered the best offer will be accepted. So please know if you make an offer you may be obligated to purchase if your offer is accepted.
The M1R was and still is an extremely popular and widely used digital synthesizer and music workstation. The M1R features built-in AI Synthesis for full digital generation and processing using 4MB of PCM sampled and synthesized waveforms which can be shaped using analog-style editing. The M1R is capable of creating acoustic instruments with clarity, nice digital sounds and good buzzy techno sounds. The M1R is sort of like a workstation-version of the Roland D-50.
In addition to its acclaimed sound, it has a somewhat sophisticated 8-track sequencer. It holds 10 songs and 100 patterns and up to 7,700 notes, and offers full quantizing and editing. Full MIDI implementation suites the M1R ideally for studio production and MIDI system use. Up to 8 parts of multitimbrality with the 8 track sequencer makes for a powerful machine. Add to that a host of digital multi-effects and you've got one of the most widely and professionally used Korg synthesizers around.
The M1R has been used by 808 State, Banco De Gaia, Ken Ishii, Depeche Mode, Fluke, The Cure, The Orb, The KLF, Plastikman, Bomb The Bass, Gary Numan, Robert Miles, Mike Oldfield, Kitaro, Rick Wakeman, Rod Argent, Joe Zawinul, Patrick Moraz, Pet Shop Boys, the Cranberries, Sin and Jellyfish.
The M1R is a complete music workstation, featuring the built-in Al Synthesis system for full digital generation and processing of the sound throughout the four sections of the instrument: from the high-quality PCM sound source, to the Variable Digital Filter (VDF) and Variable Digital Amplifier (VDA), and onto the dual-system digital multi-effects. Three different performance modes, multi, layer and split, are included. A full 100 memory spaces are available for storing combinations, which, among various other possibilities, let you change the sound according to key velocity.
Like the 100 sound programs that are used to make up these combinations, all can be stored to the M1R's internal memory. The built-in 8-track sequencer stores up to 10 songs and 100 patterns, and has a maximum memory capacity of 7,700 notes (15,400 notes with RAM card).
A performance editor function allows you to perform a whole host of sophisticated editing operations from the front panel, such as punch in/ out and copying of patterns. Moreover, the Ml has a special User Scale feature, which you can use to create your original tunings, by changing the pitch of the 12 tones of C to B over a range of +/ - 50 cents, around the basic equal temperament scale. The sounds of folk instruments with exotic tunings can be effectively and naturally produced with the use of this function. An optional ROM expansion kit, the EXK-Ml, makes it possible to double the amount of PCM waveform memory to 4 Megawords (8 Megabytes).
