Korg M1 - Very clean / Excellent condition

Local pick up only. Introduction The Korg M1 is a synthesizer and music workstation manufactured by Korg from 1988 to 1995[6]. It is one of the best-selling synthesizers in history, with an estimated 250,000 units sold[6]. The M1 introduced a new synthesis method called AI (Advanced Integrated) Synthesis, which combined PCM waveforms and subtractive synthesis[1]. Its unique sound and innovative synthesis method have left a lasting impression on the music industry, and the M1 continues to be a sought-after instrument among musicians, producers, and sound designers. Technical Specifications and Features The Korg M1 featured a 61-key keyboard with velocity and aftertouch sensitivity, 16-voice polyphony, and used AI Synthesis as its tone generator[10]. It also included on-board effects, a joystick for data manipulation, and an analog synthesis-styled layout design[10]. The M1 had a somewhat sophisticated 8-track sequencer, capable of holding 10 songs, 100 patterns, and up to 7,700 notes, with full quantizing and editing capabilities[1]. It also offered full MIDI implementation, making it ideal for studio production and MIDI system use[1]. The M1 was multitimbral, allowing up to 8 parts to be used simultaneously with the 8-track sequencer, making it a powerful machine. Condition I bought this M1 from someone on ebay. He had it in his studio and never traveled with it. He used it for a while and then just sat there in his studio. Unfortunately, during shipping, he did not packed it the right way. When I got it, it had a crack on the back right bottom corner (((( see picture )))), although, not too bad. This keyboard has a very clean face. However, there is a slight scratch towards the back (((( see picture )))) . Comes with the original sounds.
