Why was the Korg M1 so special in 1988?
No eq, additional effects or compression has been applied on the first bit. The M1 must of felt like a revolution and breath of fresh air at the time whilst stealing much of the limelight from the D50 at the time. Musicians and film composers loved it. And whilst not the first workstation, it did it so well and at the right price it is often mistakenly credited for being one of the first.
