about

m1 forever

track: 09

recorded: 20150803

duration: 10:27

type: pureambient

a few days after korg released the iM1 for the ipad, I couldn't resist dropping one of it's amazing, lush voices into Gadget, and creating my first truly ambient piece for Gadget as a result - it's a very simple loop, about 25 seconds long, but I could just listen to this one forever...hence the title - and, just to be clear, I am not talking about the motorway M1, but the Korg iM1 - software / ios emulation of the classic Korg M1 synthesizer - a synth I dreamed about having, but could not possibly afford - and now, 30 some years later - I own one on my tablet.

and what could be better to add to Gadget, than the sounds of the M1?

dave stafford: korg gadget application

using just one of the new instruments from the korg module application, the remarkable iM1 - a software emulation of one of the most innovative synths of all time, the Korg M1 - now available as an ioS synth, or, accessible through Gadget (as I did in this instance) - heavenly sounds!
