Korg M1 piano and organ | Famous sounds and songs 

That Robin S organ is still the best synth sound ever!

Basically the M1 is everything I love in these songs, and I did not know!

One machine. And a decade of memories.

M1 Piano + 909 is the sound of early 90s house

As soon as I hear that M1 organ I’m on the dance floor without hesitation 😂

2:18 the sound of the organ is very warm, I love it

The iconic piano and organ sounds from most 90s House songs are from that synth? That's the best discovery of the year. I'll definitely add this synth my favorite synths for that reason, these sounds are so iconic.

Sounds of my childhood. Finally I know where they come from

That Gypsy Woman chords sounds absolutely amazing!! In France we can find the M1 for around 180€ no ones wants it anymore! In 2018 listening to Silk City, Calvin Harris... The M1 is back on the charts baby!!

3:16 Crystal Waters - "Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)". I love that organ riff, but I never knew the name of the song or the artist it was by. Now I do. THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video!

What you needed to make a 90's hit was a Korg M1 and a Roland TR-909 job done.

The M1 just sound classy and timeless! It sounds fresh today whereas other similar synths, even the Triton a whole decade later, are sounding mostly dated or even downright cringy. Even today, knowing that workstations are mostly a thing of the past, the Korg M1 rises in popularity again! It's a damn masterpiece.

That Show Me Love was beautifull

M1 is worth the money just for that piano

korg m1 was all over the 90s

"show me love" sound is amazing

3:34 i love these chords

I got almost the holy trinity. A DX7, D50 and O1/W which was M1's grandchild :) It's so funny that fake piano Korg sound became THE piano sound in house music. Amazing!

I have a DX7 and a D-50...I feel like now I HAVE to buy a Korg M1 just to complete the holy trinity.

Good old Korg M1!! I love forever M1. Amazing 🎹🎹🍻🍻👍👍

for when you get one of these, the legendary organ preset is "Organ 2". The piano used in RIAD is actually called Magic Piano. Piano 16' (bank 1, preset 1) is the house piano. load up, and tweak until it sounds just like the song. those two are EVERYWHERE. tunr off the effects to start if you have the VST, then add to taste.

Proud owner of two T1s here, the extended 88 key weighted version of the M1. Still love it to these days. Never use another keyboard, although most of the time, it runs through my Mac and software synths.

The best ever made workstation to produce dance music

LOVE the piano sound this thing makes

I love these piano skills and everything about this video.

90s creators really adopted and made amazing music with this machine. Eurodance😍😍😍😍

wow the "show me love" sound is spot on, amazing, the other sounds too lol omg

Just bought a Korg M1 recently, mainly due to my love for early 90's rave and dance music :) Thanks for showing the M1 some love, and keep up the great work on your channel.

Dude, I was at a friends house last night trying to remember the name of the song, Show Me Love. There's some new song out that was totally influenced by it that my friends kids are into. Thanks for helping me find it. I knew there was a classic organ sound that I remember from my days playing the M1 at college. Good stuff man, keep it up! I still have my Korg 05RW that I bought later from earning money working at Walmart in the early 90s. What's crazy is at the time they where offering share in Walmart to be taken out of your paycheck. Needless to say I should have taken them up at that offer lol

That thing is amazing Love the sounds

You hit every cover dead on...amazing!

Great video. Definitely one of the defining keyboards, along with the DX7. Still capable these days too, when linked with other instruments.

Great work Woody - love those lower register notes!

i love my m1.Good video and nice play

Wonderful video! Seriously magical watching you play

you totaly nailed the show me love organ baseline

Man! The M1 still has the dust on it from the 80's and 90's. Epic!

I had a M1 EX (modified after purchase) for 5 or 6 years (before the keyboard died). It was a fantastic machine with multiple layers, sequencer and great sounds. It was perfect to create "song" like the one you were playing in the video. But I still have some difficulties to see the M1 as a "real" synthesizer. It was more a "rompler" with very good sound selection, a kind of super Sound Canvas. Creating new sound were merely impossible, it was possible but you were finally always coming back to some existing presets (more or less the same). I love it, piano sounds were really great, all sounds were well balanced with the others, nothing bad to say. But coming from modular world I was always feeling frustration with the M1 when it comes to create "your" sounds. Apart a few emblematic sounds, all the others (and those you created) were sounding the same. I know some people will think I'm false, and it's ok, each one has his own perception, they will say the M1 was a real synth. Then I'll say Ok, let's play : let me hear your incredible sounds that I have never heard. I will be honest, if you win the game I'll say it. So, the M1 was a very good rompler with beautiful sounds, but even in buying all cards, you were finally ending with the same set of sounds. The VST version has not the warmth of the real M1, but for those emblematic sounds it is a good solution (with all cards for the same price ! so you can see all sounds are the same :-( ).

Wow! Always love the DX7, D50, M1 and 01W

Beautiful sounds

This is great. I would love to see another video like this with famous sounds. Thumbs up!

your skillz and choice of music!

Awesome ! I saw the M1 debuted at Olympia and I thought the world had changed !

Thanks for refreshing this golden tracks, nice work bro👍

Enjoyed ur little performance very much 😎

Very interesting vidéo to understand the use of this great synthétiseur , thank you for sharing your passion ;)

The M1 is still my go-to synth for any piano

SUPERB! I need to get one of these!

Excellent comparison - keep it up !

Exelente yo conservo mi Korg M1 me gusta mucho sus sonidos muy bien el vídeo saludos Woody piano shack

That's pretty darn close!! Great job!

Just bought a M1 today for £120, already enjoying playing around on it but it could seriously add some nice sounds to my stuff, well happy!

I had the m1 & dw 8000 those where cutting edge. Recognize the piano. Such a gud vibration haha got the m3 now what a machine

M1 is to the 90s what the DX7 was to the 80s. Overstatement or worthy?

great concept !

Thanks for this music lesson 👍🏼

👍👍👍1st all-in-one music work station

Good playlist!

I always enjoy learning songs by ear. I like having the music too though. Just in case I don't know the exact way to play something. Great video. Take care, Sam.

Fantastic! Love it.

I would have loved to hear the whoo-hoow of Ride on Time from you, Woody. I was really looking forward to that, but then the video took a different turn. Keep it up, man!

What a Miracle Korg M1? Thank You Woody Great Explanation Greetings From Super Extremes- Sri Lanka 💚 💛 ❤ 💙 💜

Fantastic mate.

Well done! You did it well 😍

Now I get why all that music sounded so similar hahaha :-D Thanks for the demo man. Nice work :-)

Korg m1 organ always sound amazing

Great!, this video just now told me to hurry up getting reparied my Korg N364 which has these Korg m1 legend presets, thanks for the video!!

You're so damned entertaining and talented. Been listening all morning. I declare March 9 National Woody Piano Shack Day. lol

Cool Video!!!👏👏👏

Well played! Funky as hell!😎😎

Omg the organ!!!

Love my M1 👍

Nice going. This was a time when Brit pop music was changing (1988+). I recall the AKAI S1100 was everywhere and now I see, thanks to your presentation, so too was the M1.

Very nice! Don't forget Des'ree's "You gotta be" which also featured an M1.

Great man ! Love that M1

You nailed them :)

Excellent.

Thanks Woody, due to to this great video i've just bought an M1! haha Keep up the great work buddy!

Thankfully I have most if not all of those sounds in my Triton Studio. Now I need to figure out how to play that Robin S song.. thanks for getting it stuck in my brain. :)

I don't know why I love this type of music so much, but I do.

..and also ,Rich in paradise, haha regards great video from good old times...

I enjoyed a lot the video. I will go back to my (vst) M1 straight away

Unrelated to this video, but Queen used the M1's "Universe" sound on their 1991 _Innuendo_ album track "Don't Try So Hard".

Sounds of my childhood. Finally I know where they come its the Organ

The piano preset is used extensively on Mariah Carey's 2nd studio album, Emotions, including the title track.

In the song “Ride on Time” (1988-1990), the Korg M1 MPC-00P programs patch “Piano 8’” as the piano sounds in sometimes in 5ths was heard.

2:56 fuk
