Korg M1 preset ?

[aisr...@eku.acs.eku.edu]

Hello all,

My friend has a Korg M1 synth and has lost his factory combo
patches (he also lost his manual). He has asked me to post this
question to any Korg M1 user out there.

How do you reset the Korg M1 to the factory presets?

Thanks,
Ed

There is no way for the unit to reinitialize itself with the factory
patches, but if you hold INT, CARD, and COMBI on power up, it will
reinitialize the synth to a bare-bones state (clearing any erronious
patches, etc. Something I've never needed to do.)

WARNING!!!: THIS WILL DELETE ALL EXISTING PATCHES AND SEQUENCES!

There is no reset button (sorry) Korg does make a card that has all the
origional data on it, but you'd have to pay for that unless you can get a
dealer to load them for you. I'd offer to send you the patches or something
except I've changed my patches and stuff, and I don't have any kind of
editor librian that will run on my computer. If anyone knows about
something like this that I can get for cheep or FREE (that runs on IBM DOS
or windows) let me know. I'm sorry to the guy who sent me the copy of
WinSysEx, because I lost the piece of mail that had the software and the
address in it. If you could send it to me again, I'd be quite grateful.

In terms of the manual, If you'd like a copy, I'm willing to send you a
copy for the cost of copying and shipping, just let me know...

Hi Ed,
I'm not sure that there is a way to restore the factory presets
combis or patches; but if you like I can email them to you. I can send them
asstandard midi file sys ex files. It works best if I send them uuencoded.
If this can be of any help to you , email me directly, and I will send them
to you. Do you need the combis? or the Programs? or both?. Also you will
need to be able to uudecode or "uuconvert" the files at your end.

As you've probably heard by now, there is no key sequences which will restore
the patches and combinations on the M1. There is an FTP site which has the
Korg factory patches in an uuencoded form. It is ftp.ucsd.edu and the files
are in the /midi/patches/M1 directory called xkorg.cmb.shar and xkorg.prg.shar
which are shell archives which will produce binary files which are sysex
dumps from an M1. There are many public domain sysex downloaders available
(possibly on the same site) which you can use from a PC or Mac to download
the patches into the M1.

Hope that helps...
