- In this video I open the best selling 1988 Korg M1* synthesizer to install a new battery. The factory presets are loaded back onto the machine using ROM cards and through MIDI with a computer.
* The M1 family sold ± 500.000 pieces.
Introduction 0:06
Requirements factory restore cards 0:48
Requirements factory restore MIDI 1:38
Battery needed 2:11
Opening the M1 2:26
Factory reset introduction 5:26
Loading cards 5:52

The procedure shown here is pretty much the same for all members in the family, and all can load the M1 presets:
M1, M1R, M1ex, M1Rex, T1,T2,T2ex,T3,T3ex
Note for PC users:
For PC often the program MidiOX is advertised as tool for SysEx dumps, but it is pretty complex. I think the C6 SysEx app by Elektron, which is freeware, is closest in operation to the showcased SysEx Librarian.

This was as great preview of what awaits me in battery replacement, thank you.
A little tip...the number pad keys are shortcuts to pages in each mode. Go if you choose Global, hit number 9 and it will save some page button clicks.
Just want to say thank you. I've recovered my old M1 that I loaned to someone about 20 years ago. It's in a bit of a state but once the physical things are fixed and a new battery installed, I'll now be able to reload the factory settings using the links you provided.
I just changed the battery of a Korg M1. I followed your instructions and it was a straight forward procedure. After watching you video I decided to load the presets over midi with a 1999 Mac Tower and a Tascam US-122 USB sound card. Everything worked perfectly. However, when the transfer was finished I had to turn off and on the M1 so that the sounds got loaded. Your video was very useful! Thank you!
You are a saver sir!
Excellent presentation!
Made a succesfull midi transfer of the factory patches,and now my “new” M1 sings again!
My Korg-M1 had a dead internal battery, and I found your TH-cam video for battery replacement. I also could not find the memory cards for the original sounds. Purchased a FORE midi-usb adapter cable and used your instructions for a usb to midi transfer. Fabulous!! My M1 is working as original again!! A very big THANK YOU! Additional note: I had a MPC-12 card and had loaded those sounds into the M1 days before the purchasing the FORE cable. When I finally did the transfer of the original sounds from usb to midi, I tried the SEQ and saw the Oh Yes, so that worked. When I looked at the PROG, I saw Ethereal, still the first song from the MPC-12 card. I turned the M1 off, and back on, and PROG now had Universe as the first song. Also of note, the up/down buttons on the M1 could not change the value of EXCL in midi filtering. I had to use the Value slider.
Thank you for the video. Very clear and accessible. I'm repairing the Korg M1 myself right now. While waiting for the potentiometer level. Ordered on eBAY. Soon the turn will come to the "filling" of sounds. It was interesting to see how this could be done in different ways. Thanks a lot again.
Great, simply great! Thank you so much. Your video helped me a lot to change the battery of my Korg M1 EX and even more important to play back the sounds via MIDI! Again thank you!
Thanks!!! I just bougth a M1 with low batery! Your tutorial is great!!! Changed the battery, recover the presets!!! You are the man!!!
Thank you, just changed my battery, works like a charm again!
Look like this M1 is in a very good condition. Very nice to see people take care of these beautiful instruments.
Yes. it is a pretty nice sample, although the lighting does make it look like new. My D50 looks even better in real.
Thank you! I was looking for this and it is very concise and prescient. Thanks much!
Appreciated your guidance regarding to back up battery replacement of korg i3 ( 1993) work station.
Thank you so much 😊
I will definitely use your video to help me change my battery and retrieve all data.
Thank so much for the intense explanation
Thanks for saving my sanity! Every other tutorial I have read has missed on vital step that you cover-enabling Sysex on the M1( at 6.23 on the video), i.e. getting the display to read EXC:ENA. If this is not enabled, no amount of sending will enable the data to reach the M1. I'm actually using an M1R, but the same proceedure applies.
Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this very helpful video... I used the Roland UM-One Usb Interface and it worked perfectly.
Thats wonderful, using a beautiful iMac G4 for your M1
Thank you very good relax explanation
Thanks for you great video. To make this work for me I had to slow the transmit speed down on the midi connection.
Thank you for making this video!
Great instructions video. Thanks!
Thank you! I managed to replace battery and restore factory sounds via midi
Me too. Since I was already hooked up to the Mac for the sequencer it was dead easy. Rebooted as per M1 instructions.
@@elainegmorrison Hello there, could you help me please? I am trying to understand "midi". The piece im missing in restoring the synth this way is, how do i connect my synth to my computer? Is it a specific cord, or do i need an audio interface? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you very much for this video!!! You saved me!!
Thanks from Brazil.
Thank you, it was a great help
awesome video man...it help me to the moon...thaks a lot
This worked!!! WOW THANK YOU!
Very helpful - thank you!
the PHONIC interface I bought one like yours to get everything right.
Very helpful, thanks. That Sysex enable in the MIDI filtering was screwing me up. Haha
Gracias, excelente catedra.
Excellent vid thanks
great video btw :)
Great! "2Kb of Fun" is the n.1 !!
You're terrific . The PDF from Korg has horrid pics and NO number for the battery
Thanks for the guide, everything went ok, I have the factory sounds again, the only thing I didn't get was the Oh Yes song (any tips?). Also one tip, when you do MIDI transfer, you need to turn off and on the keyboard for the sounds to appear.
Thanks for this awesome informative video! In the rare chance anyone sees this and can help- I went through all the steps and my M1 was working flawlessly, then it starts cutting audio randomly here and there, until eventually now it just stopped output altogether. Anyone have any guess on what might have caused it?
hello, amazing video. I changed the battery but my korg M1 still shows battery low...I dont have midi cabes yet...I want to know if the battery low warning will disappear after loading sounds into it ?
Thank you
You don't need to reset it to from factory mode all you need is to find the points where you have the 3V and solder two pieces of wire on a temporary battery solder it in parallel tho the one in place, after you replace the old battery unsolder the parallel one job done, no messing with factory reset.
Soldering is easier than a factory reload? Don't think so. I guess most have these hooked up over MIDI to a computer anyway. And if you have the preload card it is even easier.
Great video. I really like how you explain things however, the transfer only sort of worked. I’ve tried using different sysex programs, slowing down the throttling speed, and various speed combos as suggested on various forums, with no change. All the sounds are there, but they’re really quiet and are only coming out of one channel, or side of my headphones. Before the battery replacement the sound was perfect, i.e. very loud and coming out of both channels. For reference I’m using the Roland Um-One interface. *Any help would be appreciated*, as I’m the original owner from ‘88 and would love to get her back to normal. Thank you :)
Thank you 2kB of Fun. Very interesting and useful video!!! 🥇A question: if you load a new M1 card with new sounds, do you lose the original sounds or the original sounds are kept inside and you simply add the new sounds???
No, the memory stores one set. But you can as well dump the stored sounds to a file on your computer. Use the backup function on the M1, and put the Sysex tool on your computer to record incoming MIDI.
Could I overwrite all the factory presets & make a custom bank using ones from the various banks out there (& keep some from the factory)?? If so would any ROM Cards need to be involved or would it just be a MIDI transfer??
Good stuff. Was looking to use the Snoize app. Q: When you did the 'all data' dump, do you need to use record one or many on Snoize app? Also do you need to set buffer/delay parameters?
Oh last question. If the synth (ensoniq in my case) has a low battery, can one still edit sounds and send out of MIDI to computer or one needs to save in the synth first (a problem with low battery) - and some synths have batteries soldered to the PCB which is a royal pain in da a** :/
Many thanks 4 u detailed vid!
Just try it out, the file should have a size similar to a patch library file. So for the M1, it should be around 16-32 kB. Delay on sending to the synth is necessary when the synth can't cope with the sending tempo. I did not run into this for basic patch transfers, but on the big brother, the T2, a slight delay is recommended when sending huge sample files for the sample memory.
You can always send MIDI to the synth, because as long as the synth is on, the memory is kept from mains power. It will only loose it on turning off. Oh, and replace soldered batteries with a CR2032 cell holder. Pretty easy procedure.
😊thanks
Hello 👋🏽 I wanted to ask how to fix if the piano keep showing low internal battery . I’ll switch battery every day if I don’t play the piano and always doing this in a cycle every 3 days like what’s the problem?
How do you use a korg mcr03 card with the cr2016 battery inside....can i save presets on it
Thanks for the video. Good job. Quick question, would my PreSonus Audiobox USB96 work to transfer from Mac to M1?
I think so.
I use a macbook pro, and it only has a 900-type firewire input that is square. So should I use one end of the cable with the same end as you used in your video and the other 900 square firewire end is that?
You mean Firewire 800 I guess. You have 2 options: a FW800-FW400 cable, or a FW800/FW400 adapter plug.
Hello, thank you for your video but didn’t understand how to connect the Korg to a PC/Mac via MIDI?
You need an interface. This can be various things. In the video I use a Firewire interface cause the Mac has that port and I had a Firewire Interface. But you also have them in USB flavour. You could even make one from say an Arduino Leonardo and a Spark Fun MIDI shield, about 30 bucks combined.
Hi 2kb, thank you for sharing how to change out the battery on this beautiful machine....however in doing so I broke the battery holder right on the edge ...can you please recommend the proper CR2032 Battery Holder or what I should look for. Looks like theirs a few to choose from. Thanks in advance.
The important factor is the pin distance. Measure that and get a similar one. But you can also add 2 wires and fit almost any holder. Not that much of a deal.
@@2kBofFun Ok I'm gonna give go....thank you so much replying back.
@@2kBofFun Hey man it worked, I was done in 5mins....thx again 👍😎
This is an excellent video! Thank you! You have given me the confidence to tackle this job myself! I am wondering... I have a Korg M1 which I purchased in 1990. It works very well...until today when I noted the 'internal battery low' message. I do not have the Korg cards...but the keyboard is stilling playing normally...I'm thinking I could do the Dump now to backup the Korg data onto my IPAD...change the battery then load the info from my IPAD back into the Korg... ?
How do you plan to interface the iPad with the M1? If you just want to keep internal memory, you could also use a 3V AA battery holder with 2 penlites, and keep that connected to the solder joints of the battery holder on the PCB while swapping the Lithium cell.
@@2kBofFun
Thanks for your reply. I had planned to interface using the software you listed … but I can see how your option of using a battery holder may be simpler. I only wish to keep the internal memory...the sounds etc that the keyboard came with...I do not have any other sequences or invented sounds that I need to save. I apologize...I'm not very tech oriented but when you refer to 3V AA battery holder with 2 penlites...are you referring to something like this? ' 3Pcs CR2032 CR2035 Coin Button Cell Battery Holder on/off Switch Black' which I found listed at Walmart... it is a small case that holds a button battery...and there are two wires at the end of the case ?
@@laurainel I was referring to something like this (0,80€): www.tinytronics.nl/shop/image/cache/data/product-515/2x%20AA%20battery%20holder%20with%20leads-1000x1000.JPG
@@2kBofFun when looking down at the battery, before removing the battery, are the solder points the small 'plate' at the top of the battery just above the + sign that is on the battery? If it is not being soldered...is this a matter of a friend holding the wires in place while the other person replaces the low battery? Can the wires touch or do they have to be at the two opposite ends of that little plate? thanks
@@laurainel Yes, but the - is on the bottom, so a bit harder to reach. You could also check which solder points of the holder on the back of the PCB are +/- and hold the wires to those.
Any kind of information on this will be appreciated.
Hey great video, thanks for sharing. I have got to the point of transferring the data however I know it is not working as the buttons on the M1 are not blocked. Do you have any suggestions to what might be causing this? It does appear to be sending the data when hit play in SysEx and I made sure to enable the M1 to listen to system exclusive data. I am using a Subzero SZ-MB44 4 channel midi interface. How have you connected the midi cables to your audio interface? Are you using midi thru or in to out? I have tried all variations still with no success. I would really help any appreciate any help with this feel like I am so close to getting there.
Basically all connections needed are MIDI-OUT from the interface, to MIDI-IN on the M1.
@@2kBofFun It's still not working. I don't know what's wrong I have followed every step perfectly. I have also tried this method using a windows PC. th-cam.com/video/Jwafj-yrGTs/w-d-xo.html
@@2kBofFun Figured it out from one of the comments below. The Subzero 4x4 MIDI interface I bought just for this job does not support SysEx data. I'll need to get another or find a card at a decent price.
@@BenTheDoonhamer Yes, or one of the cheap vintage ones. I think the one I used in the video does like 25 bucks or so. Or a simple USB Midi cable.
Im doing this now...but what is the Audio Midi program you opened up?
Apple Audio/MIDI setup, under Applications->Tools
It only worked for me when I used the Edirol UM-2 Midi Interface. Not every Midi Interface Support SysEx Data. The Edirol Interface also works with a bunch of other Retro Synths like the Yamaha DX7 for example. In case that no Interface works with your M1, the last Option I found out is to look for the Korg M1 Editor Software on google. There you can See each Parameter for the Presets and reprogramm them for yourself into your M1. It's a real Pain in the A** but the last thing you can do.
I tried 3 and all work: Firefly 302 (in the video), Firefly 808 and Edirol FA-101. Guess I rather spend 20-30 bucks on a vintage MIDI interface than on manual entering every setting. I also think with a Mac it is a little easier as MIDI is baked into the OS by default. Another option is using an Arduino Leonardo with a MIDI shield as bridge. That combination offers a very basic USB-MIDI interface on the cheap.
Hi Sampling affair, I also tried almost everything, (the video was very helpful) but no sounds in my M1. I want to try to reprogram it myself, but i don't find the list for each parameter for the presets as you mentioned. Can you send the link where you found this?
@@rocktailbel Did you try lowering the data-rate of the MIDI program? Sometimes it helps.
@@rocktailbel Hi Jean-Paul. You can download the Editor I mentioned here: bakyardsoft.com/bakyard/M1EditorLib002Setup.exe
You can load the same Korg M1 Preset SysEx file which is linked in the description of this video. Hope it works for you and good luck!
@@2kBofFun Thx a lot, but how do I lower the data rate on my MacBook pro. Midi in is working, because I can use it in Garageband, for playing or recording the internal sounds of Garageband. My connection Midi/Usb with is from Bespeco, had a red light lit, and the midi in light is blinking.
Hello i replace the battery and i have the same problem the low battery message and when i turn off the piano lost all the sounds
My battery holder edge broke. Is it kosher to put a thin strip of electric tape around the circumference to hold it? Don't tell me I just added the sound of fire trucks (I read that joke, it's good though). There is also a Korg MIDI file download to add to your sequencer if all else fails.
I would say get a new one, they are like 1 buck, and solder it in. The board is already unscrewed so you can easily do this.
Hey I just found one of these in the trash in decent condition but it turns on with low battery on screen and doesn’t have any sound coming out even when playing with the keyboard do I need an external speaker or something to play sound I’ve never used anything like this before.
It has 3 jacks. L+R headphone 6,5mm and L and R line level. Connect a headphone to the headphone jack. It has no internal speakers. Professional instruments never have that.
Hey men First thx 2 Share this wit us!! The Software Just exist 4 Mac Not 4 Windows??! Have an nice day
SysExLibrarian is just Mac, but the C6 software in the description is for Windows and Mac.
Hey man, got a Korg M1 that keeps shutting off on its own for no apparent reason. I’ve had the internal batteries replaced over the last 8+ years when they get low. I don’t have any messages appearing. Any thoughts?? I’ve also bought and replaced new power cables still same issue.
I have no real clue, but shutting off can be a power supply issue. Maybe some dead caps on that board. Guess I would bring it to a repair pro in your neighbourhood.
the two ends of the cable that you use to pass the data on the video are firewire?
Yes, it is a FW400-FW400 cable that came with the iSight camera from Apple. It's rather thin and flexible compared to other FW cables I have.
Hey amigo. I have a question. So my keyboard korg M1 turns on but once it's on the screen stays blank?? ...what all do think has to be done?? I hope to hear back from you. Thank you and have a blessed day
Does it make sound? What sound? A nasty plain sawtooth? That case the battery is out. Also check contrast dial on the back first: maybe your display is turned all black.
Hi, there is a "low battery" indication that does not go away even when I changed the battery with a new one.
I checked the yahoo group of M1 and I found out that others users had the same problem but unfortunately I did not find any solution.
I thought that maybe some electrolytic caps were dead, just like the common korg O1 "no sound" issue, but I have found no evidence of caps leakage.
I checked all cables, checked continuity, used deoxit on connectors, checked for cap leakage, changed the battery but the problem persists.
Has anybody else experienced this issue ? Any thoughts about what to check , would be appreciated.
Thanx in advance
I successfully changed the battery, but I had a problem reloading the factory presets. I downloaded the preset files from Korg (using the link you provided) and loaded the data using a Lekato Midi USB interface. The data loaded into my M1, and I turned it off/on. But the sound names are displayed in weird characters and the sounds do not play. Seems like the data is corrupted. Can you please advise?
Sounds like the battery is no good or the power supply is unstable. Any chance you can measure the power lines coming from the power supply and check if they are steady 5V? Oscilloscope would be best, then you can also see if the voltage is a nice flat line.
@@2kBofFun The battery is new. I'm afraid any further inspection of the electronics is beyond my skillset. I will take it to repair person. Thank you for your response and for posting an informative video that has helped many!
Change battery, check cables connections and load again
Could you tell me why you didn't use firewire 900 port because you preferred to use USB to connect to Apple?
In the video I do use Firewire!
Hi I have had a Korg M1 in storage for years. I recently changed the battery, when I power it up the screen lights up but none of the buttons do anything. Any ideas? Did I I lose the entire operating system?
Does it make sound?
Did you try the contrast knob on the back?
@@2kBofFun Again When I power up I only have square green lights on the screen. (yes I know about the contrast knob) I have several keyboards I would just like to figure this one out. I feel like the operating system has been wiped out.
@@vauclair2461 It is in theory possible as the OS is on an EPROM, whose lifespan is limited, but before ordering replacements:
Swap battery and fo a factory reset. Also it is good to measure voltages from the power supply, to rule out a failure on that board.
that joystick distortion lever to the left of the Korg M1 keyboard on my keyboard isn't working I don't understand because you can tell me if you have to turn it on in some menu it's like it happened to be off because it doesn't seem to be broken so it works fine but it doesn't I can hear distortion I move the lever there and it doesn't distort the sound
The stick is programmable. On some sounds it has effect, on other it doesn't. The Piano patch only has pitch shift left to right, the Universe patch has some tremelo added on vertical movement, and the DIST GUITAR is one of the patches that really has a distortion effect tied to the stick.
Thank you
@@LezipoaLezipoa Does it work?
why do you lose factory sounds just because the battery died. is it not stored in the keyboard eprom?
No its store in that memory type that need a power all time and when battery die you lose the sounds
Do you have a solution for Windows - regarding installing sounds again?
It's in the description: C6 works very similar to the software used in the video. You can also try MidIOX.
I turn it up mine today and is acting very strange when i play i some
keys it plays very loud others dont play it sustains notes from nothing, i
swaped the battery and remains the same.... any ideias? cheers
After a battery swap you need to load the presets. Did you do that?
@@2kBofFun yes it remains the same
Would like to know where to get the M1 cards that you used?

Hi, i just found your video here and thought you might have the answer to a question i have regarding the korg M1 synth. Here is my question: Can i get all the factory sounds, every sound the M1 has in that synth, can i get those sounds using some kind of " M1 sound card " and put that card into another korg synth to then get all the exact M1 sounds?? please let me know. thank you
I know there are M1 virtual synths for later Korg workstations, and off course there is the M1 virtual instrument to use in your DAW.
@@2kBofFun Thank you for that, BUT! i specifically meant, is there any card, or floppy disc? that has JUST ALL THE FACTORY SOUNDS OF THE M1??? Or? MAYBE I SHOULD JUST BE LOOKING FOR AN M1synth?!!!!!! : / ( I found a korg 01 synth that looks exactly like the M1 and is an upgrade in all components and performance. BUT it doesnt have the M1 sounds. maybe a few, but i like most of the M1 sounds. couldnt find a good M1 so far, so i thought maybe i could use an M1 disc, or card, on the 01 , if they make them..

@@rockybalboa2526 M1's cost like peanuts. Also check the T-series, they are even less sometimes, and 100% compatible with M1 sounds. And no, it won't fit on a floppy. If you want all sounds it is already 12MB of wave shapes, and then you have 1500 presets with them, without the synth engine in sampled form it would take gigabytes: it's a synth you know!

Hello Sr, I’m already replaced the battery but still show me low battery
Do you have a multimeter. Can you measure the voltage at the pins of the connector on your board?
Is everything erased when changing battery including factory presets?
Yes, hence the procedure, but it also explains how to back stuff up first.
Seems like a lot of work for a keyboard that should not even lose its own presets by changing a lousy watch battery is it worth it considering buying one
I know when I change 6D batteries in one of my psre Yamaha models I would have time to put back new ones and without a battery pack plugged in 1 minute batteries without losing my songs do you know if that's possible for you to have a minute of not losing your presets
I have a Mio Midi-Usb cable. Can that work? I tried it and it hasn't worked. Any advice?
Should be possible with it. What OS? Midi is pretty simple by itself. You can even turn an Arduino into a usable MIDI interface.
@@2kBofFun Im not using a pc for midi as well.I an using a Mac. I understand setting up the Korg and connecting midi cable. I don't know if it has to do with my connection or midi files to my laptop.
@@anthony.morales Did you try Audio-Midi setup (in tools) to setup your interface? Also try Garage Band if you can send notes to your M1.

Does it have to go through an interface or can it work with just a laptop?
You have to talk with MIDI somewhere. There is no MIDI socket on your laptop, but a flavour of USB. MIDI is a super-simple communication protocol though, it is UART at 31250 baud. That makes it really easy to even make an interface yourself, but also there are plenty of very dumb and cheap USB-MIDI cables with the bridge built in.
I like to build custom controllers with this: www.sparkfun.com/products/12898 and you can stick it on top of this:
store.arduino.cc/arduino-leonardo-with-headers
But that is a geeky solution (super cool though). You can also grab something like this:

@@joecarreiro4246 It is in this video, check the time stamps.
can you get me to put it on the internet through the keyboard to export the information inside those MSC cards not those feeling I'm talking about those others you have so I can import it into my Korg M1 keyboard because I don't have the cards physically I wanted to import them. I'm not referring to feeling I'm talking about the other cards. please.
The MSC cards hold sample data and are pretty large, they contain 512kB of data. That would in no way fit in the patch memory, which is 32kB. So you need the physical cards. There are some companies who create a MSC loader with SD slot, but those usually cost as much as an M1 itself. Keep an eye for someone selling a set. I was lucky to score like 20 M1 cards for 100€ on a classified site. Also found a M1EX board for 50 bucks, which also ads 4MB of samples (8 card equivalent). See my other video on how to install that board. The cheapest way to increase your sample amount is sell the M1, and buy a T3. That machine is way more versaitle and usually cheaper, so you might benefit from the trade!

Near dead battery?
2kB of Fun already replaced it and did the computer restore
@@jorgeguevara9860 What patches did you load?
How do i restore if i have a windows machine ? :/
You can use the C6 program as shown in the description, it also comes for Windows. In this video I use SysExLibrarian for the Mac, as you see I use a very old iMac, but C6 works very similar on most modern machines.
@@2kBofFun Thank youuu...i'd love it if you know if there's any video tutorial or something
No shock? Im like oh man dam but maybe thats just my ELECTRO_BOOM habit
Nah, this machine is 100% running on 5V. Not even an EL foil LCD backlight or VFD circuit on this one.
@@2kBofFun I know haha I have to use midi-ox to load the data but i will go down and change battery now just for fun. I trust any man who has old 1980 video game in his room
@@curtiswright4809 There is a section that makes 5V from mains, so please keep the mains cable out when you are swapping batteries.
I dont have Pcm card ...what would i do
What do you want? You only need PCM cards for additional samples that were used for a selection of the patches on the 16 MPC cards. If your goal is to do a factory reset, go to the section in the video on how to restore them from a computer file.
