Bottom Line

The Korg M1 arguably started the workstation synthesizer market in the late 1980's leaving other manufacturers to catch up. Now you can own all the sounds of one of the best selling synthesizers of all time.

For those who grew up using or listening to these sounds, the price is too good to pass up!
