Korg M1: 21 Iconic Riffs You Know (But Forgot Existed!)

Send us Fan MailPure nostalgia and pure presets: the Korg M1 — one of the most recognisable keyboards of all time — and 21 famous parts you’ve definitely heard on records.This is the talky companion to my YouTube riffs video. In the video I reveal the song name + the preset before I play each part, so this isn’t a guessing game. It’s more like: here’s the sound, why it matters, and what to listen for.Important note: these are M1 recreations / M1-style parts. That doesn’t automatically mean the original record used only a Korg M1 — many tracks were layered with other synths, samplers and effects. The goal here is to spotlight the signature M1 character: Piano 16’, Organ 2, Choir, pads, and that famous Slap Bass.If you want a Part 3, tell me what to include: artist + track + the exact section you want recreated (timestamp appreciated).IntroBlack Box — I Don’t Know Anybody Else — I01 Piano 16' Robin S — Luv 4 Luv — I17 Organ 2 N-Joi — Anthem — I01 Piano 16' Sabrina Johnston — Peace — I01 Piano 16' Nightcrawlers — Surrender Your Love — I17 Organ 2 Kraze — The Party — I01 Piano 16' 49ers — Touch Me — I01 Piano 16' Sandra — Hiroshima — I00 Universe Tasmin Archer — Sleeping Satellite — I30 Lore Law & Order Theme — I46 Slap Bass Madonna — Vogue — I01 Piano 16' Aerosmith — Janie’s Got a Gun — I46 Slap Bass OMD — Sailing on the Seven Seas — I00 Universe (not confirmed) OMD — Pandora’s Box — I23 Choir OMD — Call My Name — I23 Choir Awesome 3 — Don’t Go — I01 Piano 16' Dream Frequency — Feel So Real — I01 Piano 16' M.A.N.I.C. — I’m Comin’ Hardcore — I01 Piano 16' Jaydee — Plastic Dreams — I17 Organ 2 Playahitty — The Summer Is Magic — I17 Organ 2 Whigfield — Gimmie Gimmie — I17 Organ 2SummaryA fast, talky companion to my YouTube riffs video: 21 instantly recognisable Korg M1-style hooks with the presets explained and called out up front. 🎧 More Synth Icons episodes:·       Hohner Clavinet D6 – Famous Riffs You Instantly Know·       Roland Jupiter-4 – Famous Riffs You Know (But Didn’t Realise Were Jupiter-4)·       Korg M1 – Famous Riffs You Know (But Didn’t Realise Were M1)🔧 Work with Andy·       Production, mixing & mastering: https://www.andywhitmore.com/·       Studio: https://greystokestudio.com/ 📲 Connect with Andy·       YouTube: @AndyWhitmore·       Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andywhitmore2014/·       Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AndyWhitmoreMusic·       TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@andywhitmore9583Support the show
