The question I have is, I had to replace the internal battery and lost all patches. Is their a way to do a hard reset back to factory settings. Thanks in advanced for your help. M.Engle

Well, it's been a while since I owned an M1. To the best of my reecollection, it is not possible to recall the factory presets from the synth's memory. I am guessing that the best way for you to get them is to contact Korg's tech support folks and see if they have a MIDI dump of the original bank, or something akin to that.

Thanks for your quick reply. I was afraid that might the response. I could not find anything in the manual. And you confirmed my suspicion. Anybody out there have a PCM/Data card with factory setting for sale. I have had this board since new in 87 I think. Still love the sounds but does not get played as much as the k2500. Thanks again.

ps. I will contact the factory.

Korg probably still has the cards, as many of those boards that they made. I know you can still get the floppy for the O1/W, the M1's predecessor. Ditto's on the good sounds. You know, I still like the saxes, english horn, flute, choir, fretless and slap bass, and arco strings on my 0/1, which are mostly the same as the M1's, better than the samples on my Triton. I bought my 01 9 years ago, it's been dropped off of stages and been soaked by rain and it still keeps on kickin'. Hope my Triton gives as good service. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif

I wished I known that I could d/load the factory patches. I just bought the MPC-00S card off of Ebay. It seemed it was a hot little item $129.50. I checked Korgs web site, they had nothing on the M1.

 

I am a Korg fan. I have the 01R/W and the SRWavestation. The voices are great as well as the Elect. Piano (patch 51).

 

Thanks for the web sight I will sure check them out.

Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The M1 preset card was only $26 from KORG in 1990. eBay is a wonderful thing......if you're a seller!!!!!!!!! But at least now you have them, and in a very convenient form. JP
