The M1 samples, as primitive as they are today, still impress with their fidelity. The VST sounds like a HiFi version of the hardware.

On the other hand, the effects (Reverb, Chorus, etc.) are a large part of the sound of an M1, they have a particular character. Not saying the emulated effects are terrible, but Woody’s test clearly demonstrates this is a weakness with the VST.Īnyone who has spent a lot of time with the hardware will really notice this as the biggest difference in the VST. Obviously, when it comes to editing and DAW usability the VST wins hands down. The fact that you can have every M1 sound made on an iPad is still pretty damn amazing. Especially for someone like myself who bought the hardware back in the late 1980’s.Īs a side-note, while the M1 sound is iconic, it was the 8 part multi-timbral sequencer and drum samples that made it so useful for the bedroom studio. You could make complete tracks or create backing tracks for your demos back in the days when 4 track cassette was all that most amateur musician’s could afford. It was a revolution to have all of this power in one keyboard.
