Korg M1: just changed battery, how to reset factory sounds?

Post by jeuxdorgues »

Hi,

I just changed the CR2032 battery on my Korg M1, now all sounds are "Init sounds".

Where can I download the factory soundbank ?

How to upload them to the M1 ? In which specific menu should I go on the M1 to enable receiving SYSEX data ?

Thanks

Restoring the sounds is mentioned briefly in the M1 battery replacement guide:

There are further discussions on this forum:

Not all USB to MIDI interfaces work correctly. The cheap ones on eBay are best avoided. I found the Korg Kontro49 to be a reliable one. Connect its MIDI Out to the M1's MIDI In. It may be necessary to enable SysEx receive on the M1, and of course disable memory protection.
