M1 and WS Legacy

[Mellontikos]

Hello people.

I have both the M1 and WS legacy collections. I have never really done anything with them except fool around and have some fun with the sounds.

However, I'd like to start working with them seriously.

Is it possible to select more than 1 sound at a time on these? I'm guessing they will work similar to the original keyboards (where you can play many patches at once only in Combi mode, and even then only route 2 FX to the whole thing?)

Or does the software override these limitations?

Also how can I load individual patches to overwrite patches I don't use? It seems that I can only overwrite whole banks, so I can open new bans, but have to sacrifice everything on that bank.

Any ideas?

The original and VST-version of the Korg M1, allows you to build multi-sounds as well as assign to each sound a different region on the keyboard.

Also it's possible to assign a different MIDI-channel to each sound so you can even do 'orchestrations' if you're very creative.

The Wavestation lets you either layer, split or sequence sounds you can then play from the keyboard. The VST itself is light enough to play multiple instances and have each of those be / mimic an instrument on it's own, and so you can compose a multi-wavestation song.
