Actual Entry (non editable)
M1R EX Music Workstation (c) 1988 Korg. The Korg M1R EX Music Workstation was a rackmount expansion version of the famous M1 workstation, designed for studio and MIDI production environments. Developed by Korg Inc., it retained the same PCM-based AI synthesis engine as the original M1 but expanded its waveform ROM and factory sound set through the EX upgrade. The M1R EX offered 16-voice polyphony, 8-part multitimbrality, onboard digital effects, and full compatibility with M1 sounds and sequences, making it a central rack module in early 1990s MIDI studios. - TRIVIA - The M1R EX is a rack version of the iconic M1 workstation, part of Korg’s first-generation AI synthesis system. It typically shipped with an expanded 8 MB PCM waveform ROM (compared to the original 4 MB M1), increasing the available multisamples and drum sounds. The “EX” designation refers to the expanded ROM configuration, not a fundamentally different synthesis engine. It is part of the same 1988–1989 M1 platform family, alongside the keyboard M1, M1R, and later M1 EX/M1 Plus variants. According to technical documentation, it offers 16-voice polyphony and 8-part multitimbrality, making it suitable for full MIDI song production in a single rack unit. It includes dual digital multi-effects processors (reverb, chorus, delay, and modulation effects typical of the M1 generation). Expansion was possible via PCM and program cards, allowing users to extend or replace internal sound libraries. The M1R EX is often associated with late-1980s / early-1990s studio production, especially pop, house, and film/TV scoring workflows. It is effectively a rack-mounted evolution of the M1 ecosystem rather than a separate synthesizer generation. In many studio setups, it served as the “sound module core” while sequencing was handled externally via MIDI. - SOURCES - Machine's bios.
