- In this presentation I show you how to do a full factory reset of the Korg M1 synthesizer and restore and reload the factory sounds using midi and Bome SendSX sysex transfer program. This procedure is necessary when you have installed a replacement battery and if you do not have an old Korg memory card.

You sir, deserve a medal. Thanks a lot for the tutorial. Everything went fine at first try.
Did you upload everything to a Windows or an iMac because I am having trouble downloading to an IMac
Thank you!!! Worked like a charm with a Windows 10 Pro PC and MOTO MIDI Express XT. No special configuration of Bome's SendSX required.
Mr Woody, you made another guy happy with your video!!!! I love the M1! Thanks a lot for your great and so worthy and helpful instruction! Greetings from Munich!!!
Had to replace the battery on my M1. Very useful, thanks! For anyone on Mac, I used Sys Ex librarian and followed the same steps. Worked seamlessly with the Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 MIDI out into MIDI in on the M1
thanks
Hello Mr. Woody, i'd like to say a big THANK YOU! on your video...cuz my M1 rose from the dead!!! for 5 yrs it's been relegated as a controller but now i can use again those classic sounds that i've been longing. Also, hats off to Mr. Kes Ter, for splendid technical help on Bome SendSX :). I must say Mabuhay! greetings from the Philippines.
so glad to hear the dave, glad i could help!
THANK YOU!!! Honestly, I can't thank you enough for posting this step-by-step video. I had to use a different Sys Ex utility for my Mac, but otherwise I followed everything you did on the video to restore the factory settings to my M1R. Bless you!
great, so pleased to hear that i was able to help in some small way
Rory Starks I'm having the same issues as a Mac user. How did you work around it? can you contact me and go over it mate please? I'd really appreciate it.
I bought one of these back in 1993 as the ex model so it came with additional sounds on a separate card. After replacing the battery I somehow managed to put all sounds from the external sound card into my internal memory and lost my original sounds, hehe why is like to restore these.
Hey @Rory Starks, could you please share what utility did you use in mac? thanks!
Perfect, clear and easy to follow. worked first time! thanks woody
make sure and slow down the throttling speed under options/settings to 'very slow' and uncheck the 'split long messages when sending' since this corrupts the data. This worked for me.
thank you soooo much for posting this!!! nearly went crazy when I tried to flash my M1 after battery replacement and nothing happened 1st 10x times
Thanks a lot!! Unchecking that Split option is the key to success! The one thing that's supposed to help with faulty drivers :/
Thanks, worked better this way.
How long takes to finish? I did very slow but it get stock and when i do medium I don’t send the data anything you think i’m doing wrong?
If you’re reading this and you can’t still make it work, they are talking about (options in the program itself not the keyboard) I was looking for it like crazy into the keyboard menu. 😂
OOOOOH MAN thank you so much I requested this video in many channels on youtube and you were the one to give us a very accurate Answer thank you soo much i really Appreciate it
Hello Woody, thank you very much for your video ^^ I just bought a M1 fee weeks ago and was able to restore the factory sounds with your video Did this for my girlfriend, she is playing all the time now :D
i did it following the same steps but using SysEx Librarian instead of Bome,,, Via MIDI from the Komplete Audio 6 to the M1 and it worked perfectly, Thanks for the info.
And for all people who still cant make it yet, please think a bit if you are doing everything right before drop a shitty comment. Videos like this helps a lot to our community to solve problems and save money and is a bit dissapointing to receive shitty comments just because someone couldnt make it. Peace! and thanks Woody for the video, you have a new subscriber now :)
❤well said!!!
it sounds distorted for me also :(
Merci à toi Woody pour ces infos précieuses.... Big up de Tahiti (French Polynesia)
i just want you to know this video saved my bacon today big time. Thanks Woody!
Thanks for that just finished repairing one and needed the steps you rock :D
Thx, it worked for me after going in Bome's settings like Kes Ter mentioned...unchecked ''Split Long Messages, Turnaround for faulty drivers'' and put Throttling speed to very slow...i had a cheapo USB to MIDI cable for using my M1 has a keyboard to play sample sounds off my Windows laptop, it worked fine to transfer the factory M1 from Bome to the M1....thx for making this vid...liked your vid and subscibed to your channel...cheers...
just a heads up, if you're doing this with the rack version the button combo is int/comb/prog
I bought it cheap but it was terrible.But I found your videos and imitated them.Then, initialization was successful! Thank you. Thank you!
Thank you Woody with your tuto now my M1 has the factory sounds
I couldn't get it to work ... kept coming back with only Init, then I saw Kes Ter's comment. I changed the settings in Bome and it worked perfect ... yea! Thanks. PS. My battery lasted 30 years!
Thanks for posting this! It took a few gyrations but I finally got it to work. Set the throttle speed to very slow and since I was using a USB cable from my PC to MIDI on the KORG, I made sure to select 'MIDI OUT' to 'USB cable' in the Bome settings.
Super, Klasse - ich habe Stunden nach Lösungen gesucht aber diese hier hat einfach gleich funktioniert.... Danke!!!!
I was trying to send sysex at least 10 times, then i realized that I not connect midi cable to m1.... Now everything is fine))) thank you
Thank you Woody,
best tutorial i´ve ever seen.
Greetings from Germany
Had some trouble. Only problem was a crappy cable I bought off Amazon (FORE MIDI to USB Interface). Once I used a better interface (Midiman Midisport 2x2) it worked perfectly. Thanks, Woody!
Thank you so much for the video tutorial. I ran into some issues but unchecking the " split long messages when sending " and slowing down the throttle in the Options made everything working just fine.
Much love ❤❤
so glad to hear you got it restored!
@@WoodyPianoShack My dad was a great musician and after he passed away in 91 I had my dad's Korg but about 15 years ago the batter died and after changing it I notice it lost the original sounds. I did not really played it until yesterday and after restoring and hearing the sounds I got flashback to him and me playing and got a new energy to play music. I've been practicing all day today and already got a song. Thank you again. The Korg M1 will always be something that will reminds me of my dad forever. Thank you so much
Great video! However, the transfer only sort of worked. I’ve tried slowing down the throttling speed as suggested below, other speed combos suggested on various forums, and using different sysex programs but nothing changes...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. **Any help would be appreciated** Thank you :)
Very nice and concise. Thank you.
Thank you so much! your video is clear and Helpfull as well! :)
Hello. Quick question: does this reset have the sound SawWave?
Thank you.......... and to Kes Ter also it worked great
Thank you sooo much!! Many thanks for this video! I have owned an m1 for about 10 years. Since today it has the first time since that time again the original presets. Thanks a lot! (P.S.: Happy Christmas!!) (P.P.S.: Please excuse my bad english!)
same to you bob & nothing to excuse about!
Thank you! M1 resurrected!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, AMANZING VIDEO
Thank you very much for your video!
woody piano how did you move the line on the Universe track with which keys did you manage please ?🙁
Hi. I decider to sunscribe... best recovery tutorial ever ... long life to our korg M1. Thank you so much.
Please PLEASE help me.. Ive tried this several times. I’ve followed all of the instructions and i’ve used midi-ox and bome. I am at my wits end.
Just want to be sure before I get one of these in the future, I could overwrite the 100 factory presets with 100 of my choosing that I might find online from the various banks that are out there correct? & if so would I still need any kind of cards ??
Hi Woody, everything has worked right up to sending 49791 bytes. Then on same line as Prog 100 Init Prog OSC Balance - the cursor does not go to the top line to access sounds it stays on the second line changing the '0-00' numbers. Do I have a different issue?
Thanks for sharing I came across with this video in need of help. Followed steps shared and it still worked to me Thanks a lot Just had to move to the settings and the uncheck the split option and also setted to very slow speed. But fantastic🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you !! it’s 2024 and it still works perfectly ;)
Hello, thank you for the video! How to connect via midi to the pc? Thank you
Just freaking worked! Thanks!
Hallo, I followed the instructions like on the video. But now I don't have any sound anymore at all. What did I do wrong?
Nice video, on my m1 when iam on program the cursor it stays blinking on the row below universe i can not change the type of sound i want in the up and down. The only way i can do that is go straight to numerical .is there a way i can change the cursor? Thanks
Hello I have a problem with my microstation, which turns the screen on microSTATION
KORG v1.0.0
To the second the word "microSTATION" passes a "TION", the keys do not sound at any time and the PC does not recognize me, you have an idea that it can be?, Thanks
Hey Woody! Thank you for the video, i want to reset my M1 because its acting weird, i wonder if the trick that you show in the first seconds of the video will simply reset the Keyboard with all factory presets, or will it actually delete the presets because it says in the video it will ''delete all of the sound data and sequences'' that got me confuse...
Hey Woody, thanks for all the great content on your page. Quick q if I may
-Do you know if a midi to USB cable would work for this procedure?
i gather those no-name interfaces can be flaky, that's all i know
Can i pre load this on any recent piano ?
I have many synths including an M1R that have been hanging around for many years because they've not had a proper home. I intend to soon remedy that situation. I'm concerned that most will have flat batteries so presumably lost their preset memories?
Are we saying that the M1 (R) retains its memory by factory reset & doesn't need an external tape recorder & cassette? I no longer have my recorder anyway. Are presets available for most synths by the way & do you know where I'd find at least some of them please?
Thank you very much! It actually worked but how to save the sounds in the synth? Because each time I turned it off, all the sounds disappear.
It's working now! I had just forgotten to change the battery. Thank you!!!
Merci beaucoup; J'ai retrouvé mon M1!!!
I have the M1 sound library but have no good program to get it into the M1... can anyone suggest one?
Is there a similar way to restore the factory sounds in a Korg X3? I've looked around and the only solution I can find is to use the original floppy disk (which I no longer have).
www.engon.de/sounds/korg_x3.htm
helped a lot, thank you!
Great video. Thx. Any suggestions for what to use for an Intel Mac user for this? Assuming same steps otherwise? Thx!
no, hope some mac peops see your question and help.
It keeps saying I cannot open my file on the bome page could anyone help?
Thank you señor . I bough mine unprogramed You save me some money I didnt have to order the card with factory sounds
a replase the battery but mine korg i3 geaves me nothing than i black display.Can someone help?
thanx woody!!!
May i ask which preset you're using for the first pad around 0:24 ? It sounds fantastic! Thanks!
It’s the touchy pad from the legacy collection m1
when i do it, the presets look corrupted.... what might be causing this?
Hey, it worked for me to install them on mac os via Sys ex, but the sounds sound distorted :( what can I do? Please help!
Awesome video, thanks a lot! I was able to load the factory sounds on the M1, but when I turn it on and off thei're gone and I have to load them again. Any idea what I could've forgotten?
(I have the rack version, btw)
there's a small internal battery that retains the memory when you switch off the m1, that probably needs replacing, or is missing.
Can you also restore the demo songs?
Hello sir, i already follow your instruction, but why my M1 still not showing the program data?
What kind of cable do I need to connect to my computer to do this...you don't show it in the video
midi cable to my pc midi interface
Hi! I have followed all the instructions you have given to restore my Korg x3 sounds after it lost the battery but it won't work. I can dump from the x3 to the laptop. I can send midi files to the x3. But when I send sysex files to the x3 it doesn't show data is received. I have tried to change delay and buffer size with no luck! What can I do? Please, can anyone help?
It might be the USB to MIDI you're using, just found out mine won't do sysex transfers from this thread forum.modartt.com/viewtopic.php?id=5069
I did everything you did. and it dos not want to work. it works i tested midi in from computer to keyboard it works. but daa will not receive. i do not understand why it wont work for me ?? please help
I managed to get it to work through the game port. sadly my cd rom is broken so i had to download the drivers online. i downloaded the wrong drivers . and the drivers did not have the game port driver. once i found the right drivers it worked great /. thank you for the reply im very pleased :)
I have tried this a couple of times and the display still says init program. has some sounds but not in the right order. any suggestions?
try different midi interface perhaps?
I am really not a techy guy and was able to reload the factory presets fairly quickly, for me the most helpful part of this video is between 0:42 and 1:16. I may have been lost without that insight.
Great video Woody!
so glad we could help!
HI, IM.JUST BUY A USED KORG M1 , THIS KEYBOARDS WAS COMING WIT NO INTERNAL MEMORY PROGRAMED, I CHANGE THE BATERY FOR ANEW ONE, AND I RELOAD THE INTERNAL MEMORY WITH A MEMORY CARD SOUNDS, BUT ALL THE SOUNDS ARE LISTERN BAD, NOISES DISTORSIONED... CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE. THANKS..
Hello,
I am looking for solutions for my Korg T3 which crashes on startup so I went to youtube to see
I came across your video on how to do the rest on a korg M1
I would like to know if these are the same buttons that we press to reset the korg T3?
Thank you for your reply
sorry, I don't know anything about the T3, but give it a try and let everyone know how it worked out!
OK I followed this procedure to the very end. The Bome program says it sent 49791 bytes of info. Will the M1 go back to the home screen automaticity when finished? Do I have to select something on the M1 after the data says it is done? So close...I'm using a rather generic USB to Midi interface that the customer supplied. Thanks
OK...I lowered throttle speed to lowest setting, changed MIDI out to USB and unchecked "split long messages when sending" . The screen changed to "completed" so I turned it off/on and all the sounds are there! Thanks (used the same cheapy interface the customer supplied)
i have bougth a korg m1 but i don't move the line on track
I dug my old 386 PC out and discovered it was dead. I did save the old m1 files to my Win7 PC. Question is: can I use the Roland MPU-IPC on a Win 7 computer if I can find a parallel port to USB adapter or would you recommend I use my wife's iMac?
Thank-you for sharing your time and efforts - I have been searching but not finding straight answers for ressurecting my old Korg M1 from 1989! This old guy appreciates your site and great non-distracting great sounding music!!!!
cool to hear from you MC! i'd invest in a USB-midi interface that would work with PC or Mac. I think they are very cheap, you will need it for sysex transfers, and midi-sequencing if that's your thing. I don't have a particular recommendation, but avoid the really cheap unbranded models
Thanks, but defaut settings of Midi Ox were not ok for me (Windows 10, Usb Midi). Thanks to Kes Ter's comment, everything worked fine (Pasting his comment here : "make sure and slow down the throttling speed under options/settings to 'very slow' and uncheck the 'split long messages when sending' since this corrupts the data")
Good day, can you help me out bro..
I replace the battery, but still showing me to replace battery.. can you tell me what is wrong now?? I appreciate your help..
I can't get this to work since it seems that my Focusrite has grabbed the midi port. Any suggestions?
Never mind - I bought a regular MIDI cable and programmed it through my Scarlett 18I8 - worked fine.
i have no idea what is wrong but it doesnt work by mine korg is any help in option?
crappy midi interface perhaps, i heard the cheap unbranded ones have sketchy quaiity and drivers...
How do you connect it to a computer
with Midi
There's a cool trick to increase internal sequencer memory, but it cuts program locations to half.
really really useful thanks
Poyfect . Thanks dude.
amigo, puede hacer un video como conecto el cable midi a la pc
Necesitas una audio interface es como una caja que se conecta a la computadora y de esa caja tiene coneccion midi ahi conectas un cable midi out al korg donde dice midi in eso es todo
Thanks for the video! Question: How long does it take to send the file from Bome SendSX to the keyboard? Here it says that is sending and does not change even after an hour, and the application crashes very often.
don't remember, perhaps 30s?
@@WoodyPianoShack minute?
Thank you so much
Hi Woody - I am not sure what happens on the Bome software site at 2:17 of the video? I dont see the blue Send SX box - please advise. Thank you
i'm sorry i have not messed with this since i made the video, and that was years ago...
Try my software I wrote if you have a PC: www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=99291&start=75&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
i love you dude
Did you plug the keyboard on the computer?
yes, via usb audio/midi interface
Thank you!
Followed all the steps but i didnt work for me i hope somebody help me thanks
Why does my m1 sound distorted and too much reverb
i HAD THAT , TAKE IT TO A GOOD REPAIR SHOP.
Merci beaucoup !
Hi, I've tried this but my Korg won't reset with the INT CARD COMBI buttons. Am I doing something wrong? Is it supposed to erase all of the rewritten sounds because it seems to have no effect.
you hold down three buttons and then power on to wipe out all the presets and reset settings.
Thanks :)
Finally managed to do it! (Novice at work here) Thanks very much for your help Woody.
Much appreciated 👍
Part of this looks easy to do, the stuff from 1:30 to 2:45 looks a bit daunting. I also have a Mac.
Thank You !!
Muito bom.
Sir please sow a vedio for Korg n364 please please please please sir
Where can I download the software?
you'll have to search for that, be careful what you download and install!
