These cards and the M1s internal memory all use 3V lithium cells which last 5 years without needing to be replaced ( in the M1, and CR2016 in the memory cards).

The 50 or 100 (depending on sequencer memory) user editable presets can be saved via MIDI SysEx or memory card. Korg offered the MCR-02 128 Kilobit card and the MCR-03 256 Kilobit card for around 80150 list, as well as the four-bank MCR-04 MegaRam card with a capacity of 1 Megabit (128 kilobytes). Each oscillator channel features a low pass filter and dedicated (pitch, filter, amplifier) 3-stage envelopes. The Korg M1 is a pressure and velocity sensitive 61 key (8 channel multitimbral) single (16 voice) or dual (8 voice) oscillator synthesizer, featuring 100 waveforms and 44 drums (16 bit, 2MW, more via card), dedicated pitch and filter LFOs, dual stereo effects processors (33 effects), stereo and dual individual outputs, 8 track sequencer (4400 or 7700 events, depending on program memory), and MIDI. It's unclear whether the original DW-8000 waves are included.Īrchitecture Class: Rompler. It also looks like ther is a MCR4 Card available that can store 4 banks.

It seems low amount of space, but the machine does not need many as the patch information is not that big. The first generation rompler that became the basis of mainstream synthesis for decades to come. Also the card is 256kbjt it is not a major issue, as you can only store the programs and sequences on it.
