    Released in 1988 but sounds more futuristic and lush than most of today's sample based synths... has a little darker tone than the Triton but still nice! Also your pads are superb as usual 👌

      This realization has been inspirational to me. You can do* what the M1 does with any software sampler and a collection of standard effects. So I have! I take short but sweet waveforms and just focus on layering and how I can spread and smear out layers of twinkly small samples with stereo delay and reverb. The M1 is a masterclass in sound design with limited means. Take any huge patch and take away the fx and there is so much to learn
      *with the caveat that the M1 is a work of art with more than cheeky hobby hours put into the waveform selection

      In fact, even the latest Korg music workstations still reuses some of the presets from the M1.

    Thank you for doing these. I am starting to think I can make sounds that don't sound like trash now. I started by pulling up the program and following along making changes with the video. This has helped a ton.

    I sometime feel like we do not give enough credits to those nameless engineers who designed these iconic synths that literally shaped the sound of our favorite music.. their aesthetics inspired so many artistic visions and creativity!

      Not wholly nameless! Quoting a SoS article (thank god there are people who have already done this research) “The company assembled an international team to develop the M1's sounds. As well as Jack [Hotop] (sound programmer), the group featured Peter Schwartz, (…) The team was completed by Athan Billias, Ben Dowling, Robby Kilgore, Jim Bescher, Michael Geisel, and Michele Paciulli.”

    I love that = sprinkling/water-trickling texture at the beginning of the video. I'm thinking the next plugin I'll buy is this Korg m1 plugin, but as always, beautiful and informative tutorials

    • @VirtualModular
      @VirtualModular 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Yeah I love that sound too. Here's a tip, get any watery sample like a trickling stream for example, and load it into a convolution reverb. This gives any pad the watery texture of the sample! You can also try this with resonators (or any tuned comb filter). Hours of fun 😂

      it's worth checking Korg's website regularly, they have some pretty good sales and special offers occasionally. I got the m1 plugin for $25 a couple of years ago, their bundle deals are pretty good too.

      @@Thought-Forms Of course I tried everything except double clicking ... thanks! I'd like to add that if you select "Make Current All Data Default", next time you open the M1 it will have that patch as the default patch. Pretty annoying if you ask me. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to save and organise patches, it's frustrating that there's no manual available.

    Is this the new V2 M1 Plugin? I have an actual M1EX and I read with the V2 plugin you can now finally export sysex to the hardware M1. I remember briefly using the original M1 plugin and this wasn't possible which is a bit of a weird oversight imo as librarians and editors now for old hardware seem to be lacking

    • @Thought-Forms
      @Thought-Forms  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yea V2 variant - I'm not sure about exporting, just had a poke around and couldn't see a straight forward way to do it. at the very least, importing sysex is possible...the bare minimum 😂 same story across all their VSTs (Wavestation, Triton)

    I really appreciate these videos you make. Thank you for putting them out for us. I find that ambient sound design is something that I wish had more in depth tutorials like you do.
    I was curious if you would take a video request:
    Ive been really enjoying the synthesizer medieval ambient sound design in this album
    th-cam.com/video/sHByLevaikI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EJqfGl01j19JqGLq
    as of late but whenever I try to do similar pads as those in the first track they either sound too dry if I start from an orchestral patch or too "new age-y" if I start from wave form patches. Any help is appreciated
