In my opinion KORG added quite a bit of value to the Nautilus just by making this library free. It was a really cool move on their part and I hope Nautilus owners everywhere have the opportunity to try it out. Thanks Woody!
The M1 is the sound of British House music in the late 80s (and quite a bit of Chicago too) and was the first keyboard I ever lusted over. It was far out of my reach back then though- and I was still trying to be a drummer anyway.
And Mexico too we love the M1
Wow! Nostalgia in a box! Took me straight back to 1988 (the good and the bad!)
The piano sound is THE sound that reminds me of so many songs. Need to fire up my M1 again !
Korg has one rare feature on most its synths, the ability to overwrite presets with your own patches. Presets are okay to discover your new synth, but after that I want them out of the way. Nostalgia presets are certainly valuable for nostalgia bands.
Problem was that many didnt have a clue about creating presets, hence why so many iconic presets were used on various records. The original presets shaped genres and styles.
While it will never be quite like the original, and will never have the exact same character of the original, i was quite surprised by the warmth, depth and punch of the sound. They have done a fine job, for sure
Thanks for highlighting this Woody. I wasn’t aware it was available. Hope they do this for O1W. Really like my Nautilus.😊
Thank you Woody! I didn't even know this existed.I just downloaded it from Korg and it was FREE!
One of my favourite synths
Classic M1 sounds!
Some of these sounds of the M1 don't sound like the OG M1, and some combinations from expansion are just edited sounds from the Nautilus. It's cool that Korg gave us the M1 for Nautilus just like the Kronos, but vintage keyboard are way better in sound quality
Got to love Korg
I like that Korg added the M1 free for Nautilus users. Great iconic synth that I have sold when they came out in 88. I use the Korg collection software version currently and I’m thinking about getting the Nautilus AT but I like what Karma brings to the table and will wait to see what Korg hopefully has as their Kronos replacement.
Thank you, that brought memories to life. I loved my M1, I would still have It unless the Micro switches to the Buttons didnt stop functioning one by one.
that's a shame that the buttons gave up the ghost!
I owed the M1 from about 1991 up until 4 years ago. It was an amazing keyboard that never seemed to be outdated. I was never a big fan of the piano sounds but I didn't buy it for the piano sounds. Nice review and agree that the sounds are not identical to the real M1 but close enough.
Agreed on the piano sounds. The sounds of the M1 were, and still are great, but the piano while good for 1988 wasn't too special for long as most newer keyboards put a lot more memory into pianos.
I don't have a Nautilus but i think it's great to have acces with softwarebanks/vst's in this day and age. I can remember that this was not possible for normal money...😅
One get's a bit greedy, because i got 60 Synth-VST's in Ableton and i became fan of NI but i will never use all of them in my lifetime...
It's so nice to hear what you've missed or could not buy, because i don't want to have a museum (i wish) and repair an old synth every other week!!😂
I'm allright with 99% original sounds though.
Thanks for showing Woody, love your type of channel for years on end now.
All the best from this Dutchie!
oh i love it!
The M1 organ rmains a classic!
Really wish Korg would release this pack for the Kronos. Many of the Samples like the wellknown Piano and organs and most of the DWGS waveforms that dates back to the DW8000 are already in the rom sounds. You can pick the samples out of the Nautilus pack for the Kronos, but the Nautilus .pcg format is not compatible with the Kronos because of the Karma/arpegiator difference so you have to recreate the patches manually, and it is so timeconsuming to sample my old T3. And the already available samples is not all named like on the original sample sheet of the M/T series so in some cases you have to manually search thru the rom sounds and listen to them. They did however release a free eavestation pack and a favorite Triton pack which is based on already available samples in the Kronos that is almost true to the original beside some minor technical details betwen how the wavesequencing works in the wavestation vs the Kronos. I really wouldn't mind if they charged something for those sounds. There is nothing about either the Nautilus or Kronos that hinders you to recreate most of the sounds you know from the M/T series, Trininty/Triton/Wavestation if you have the original samples
i agree it's a shame that kronos owners don't get to enjoy this.
Recently bought one for 150 bucks, just needed to change the battery and reload the presets. A lot of fun to play! X
Great video as usual!
Had an M1 when it came out. It was the best rompler we had at the time, and had an 8-track sequencer, and therefore the reason everyone used it. Mindblowing at the time.
But aside from nostalgia, I don't see a reason to go back to those lame sounds, as opposed to something like a D-50 which still sounds amazing to this day. Even a few of the D-50 utilitarian bread n butter sounds are still great sounding.
you still hear that piano and organ sound in current edm and house music, but guessing they are using the vst for that!
@@WoodyPianoShack Yeah, I guess they'll always use those iconic sounds.
0:45 You will hear that sound through the X files, seasons, they used that alot, especially the episodes of the mutant stretching man thing.
I have the half rack version of the x5d one of the m1's siblings. And that features a few of the famous m1 sounds. Esp organs and piano.
i used to have the keyboard version for a while, love that!
This M1 expansion pack sold me on the nautilus! These sounds are eternal. Will never go out of style. I tried passing this expansion to the Kronos but the Kronos wasn’t able to read em.
yes, that's a shame about the kronos compatibility. strange decision, although no longer a currently supported instrument in the lineup I suppose.
Back in 1989, I had gotten and M1R work station, and have some unbelievable programs and Combi sounds, that I created.. I was able to save many of them on a MEGA RAM card that holds 3 complete sets(holds total of4), one being the original set sounds...SInce then my M1R died on me.. I still have this card.. I need to get with Korg and see if they would be interested in them, because some of them are better than the original set. I still may have on a floppy disc too..lol showing my age..lol
Here's another thing the M1 is "known" for: Amiga game soundtracks. Chris Huelsbeck, David Whittaker, Rick Hoekman... A lot of Amiga users sampled from it.
very cool, did not know that
There is still so much you can do with these patch sounds just turned 20 when the M1 came on the Scene I got the M audio hammer 88 ( Not Pro ) and i most admit it sounds pretty good for 499.00, lol😂 i like the weight of the keys a little clunky at times but you get quite a bit of sounds. Korg M1 vst will sound really good on it i bet. Had to order it Cause it was out of stock. 4 1/2 to 5 star reviews. 🌟
Hello, Woody, can I ask you a side question? What would you recommend to protect the bottom of the synthesizer from scratches when working with keyboard stands? Recently I bought a new stand and realized that my synthesizer is not touching the rubber parts of the stand, but rests entirely on the metal. Any advice? My fellow musicians don't seem to care.
I had one of these. Bought it on credit card and took ages to pay off! Loved it, spent hours with it
they were pretty expensive back when new!
@@WoodyPianoShack they were indeed, hence the credit card, I think it was a good few months worth of wages from my vague memory. Worth every penny though
This makes me want to blow the dust off my M1.
Most of the genres I love it was useful for.
I have an M1, having a ported PCM to the Nautilus seem like using VST, yes it's a Korg but I repair Korg keyboards and the A to D processing is total different.
I doubt they recreated these sound from scratch since they will have used their original sound sources (files) same way they did with the Korg Legacy VST/M1 and the Wavestation. Great showcase though :)
yeah, i think it's using the same samples (wave rom) but definitely programmed from scratch using nautilus sound engine, the legacy vsts don't run on this synth.
What about the M1 korg vst plugin? Is it better in terms of fidelity to the original M1?
oh yeah, the vst plugin is identical imho, i have a comparison video on my channel. plus you get all the sounds from the expansion cards, and the original sound engines to tweak.
Might get a Korg M1R after this
I had one in 2009 but it's large and heavy. Might want to try the VST version.
yeah, vst is superb and often on sale for $25. probably beats the rack for studio use.
kinda looks like KORG janked out on that synth keybed, the 88 RH3 is fantastic though!
Crazy: we have all these new synths and software samplers but still we reach for these classic sounds.
must be a nostalgia thing for the old timers, i doubt kids are racing to get their hands on M1?
@WoodyPianoShack Good question... on the other hand the kids also love Roland Junos, 808s, 909s... etcetera!
The M1 had the disadvantage of leading all sounds to the same effects. If you chose a rotary effect for the organ, the drums also got the same rotary effect. With the drums you couldn't get a dry bassdrum when the reverb was on. I hope Korg has fixed this with this Nautilus expansion.
I don't have a Nautilus....😥
But......when you load the M1 sound set does it overwrite some of the on board sounds or are they separated?
Thanks 👍😀
they are written to the user banks, which in my case were empty, it did overwrite the factory set list pages though. if you know what you're doing you can probably choose better where to put it.
@WoodyPianoShack if you go to UA-cam, narfsounds has a great video showing how to load in the sounds without over writing. He suggests doing a pcg save and calling it "pre M1" which is a really good idea.
It's pretty close, but not exactly the same (small nuances), some of them sound closer to the real M1 than some others here. I own a real physical M1 and I'm very familiar with how it sounds. :) I love it even in 2023, lol!
something about the sound of the real one, it's got a real punch to it!
You'll really need the new model Nautilus to really take advantage of the M1 because aftertouch was a hugely important feature of M1 sound libraries.
Much more exciting than the M1 sound pack for the Nautilus however would be Korg's full M1 soft synth which can be run on an iPad (starting at $329 new) or on a laptop. Many of the best M1 sounds were not part of the original factory sound library. Korg's soft synth allows you to load both 3rd party sounds and many other expansion sounds Korg offered. The Nautilus M1 collection barely scratches the surface, and is not a big selling point for the Nautilus. The original factory sounds are widely available for many of today's current powerful synths such as the MODX/Montage, Kronos & likely Fantom. You don't need to buy a Nautilus to get these limited factory sounds the Nautilus is offering.
Also, Korg offers their full Wavestation soft synth for iPhone also which probably half of America already owns. It's not limited to just what the Wavestation came with originally, but offers all the expansion and 3rd party sounds plus full synth editing ability. A fair amount of the M1 sounds are available for the Wavestation as it was very similar technology. With a Yamaha MODX like I have, there is built-in iPhone/iPad support with a single wire connected. I think I paid $20 for the App with all expansion sounds made by Korg included.
I have two original Korg M1 keyboards and know it well and have greatly explored M1 sound libraries, and I've loaded most of my favorites into Korg's M1 soft synth on my laptop.
agree, I was lusting after the AT on the OG too, yeah the korg VST is outstanding on PC, I don't know about Ipad since haven't tried it yet.
The beginning sound is very much like the intro to depeche mode wrong 😊
So it's fully compatible with the M1. Does that mean Korg hasn't changed their sound engine in the past 35 years?
this is in no way compatible with m1, they recreated a similar sound of the m1 presets using the nautilus sound engine.
They should of added it also to the KRONOS not fair :(
Yamaha leaked a new Montage coming out
they did, i have released a vid about it.
It works. Not useful for me because I own an orginal M1 plus Korg VST, which is perfect...
I’m not understanding the excitement or value of releasing 3 decade old sounds, but that may be just me… would be more interesting to hear something new done with these sounds using the “advanced technology” of today
that's a good call, i bet there are lots of enhanced M1 sounds in the nautilus factory soundset, these are close recreations of the originals of course, for nostalgia more than anything I guess.
@@WoodyPianoShack Yeah, I say this as an owner of more Korg synths than I care to admit! 😂 A great example of making something old new is the OpSix!
