However, it is also possible to use samples from the three different sound banks in one song, allowing for more creativity than was possible with the classic 80s synth. Since this is an emulation of the M1 synthesiser, the same limitations that the original had are also found here. The Keyboard function works in a similar way, but the Touch Screen displays a virtual keyboard and allows those who are acquainted with the instrument to compose melodies and chords.īoth of these functions can be used to add notes to the currently selected scene by tapping the 'record' button on the Touch Screen. The Kaoss Pad works by simply sliding the stylus along the Touch Screen to allow for more creativity and improvisation when it comes to creating melodies. Each scene can also have its own individual characteristics, like different tempo and reverb settings.Īs well as being able to input notes on a grid system, it is also possible to enter notes using either the Kaoss Pad or Keyboard. The total number of steps a scene can hold is 64, whilst the maximum number of instruments a song can use is eight. Tracks are made up of a number of scenes, which, in turn, are made up by steps. Placing notes works by simply tapping the desired location on the Touch Screen, with the timescale and note being represented on a grid. The interface in KORG M01D will instantly feel familiar for those who have dabbled in the use of synthesisers previously.
