The Legendary Piano Sound That Defined House Music

Every chord progression in this 20-piece collection captures the authentic character of the iconic Korg M1 workstation that revolutionised electronic music production. From Chicago's underground warehouses to the UK's soulful house movement, the M1's distinctive piano and organ sounds became the harmonic foundation of countless classics.
When Marshall Jefferson crafted "Move Your Body," when Frankie Knuckles sculpted his legendary arrangements, when Todd Terry built his infectious grooves—they were channelling the distinctive warmth and clarity of the M1's revolutionary sample-based synthesis. This pack preserves that legendary sonic DNA whilst delivering modern studio quality.

The Sound That Built Classics

From Orbital's "Chime" to every warehouse anthem that moved dancefloors from Detroit to Manchester, the M1's signature tones created the harmonic language of house music. This pack delivers those exact progressions, perfectly balanced between nostalgic authenticity and contemporary production standards.

Are these the original M1 factory sounds?

These are recorded from the M1 piano and organ patches that defined house music.
