![YAMAHA SY99 Demo&Review [English Captions]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/csHut1_F4eI/mqdefault.jpg)
かつての愛機でした。本当に良いマシンだったなぁ。
仲間内で話題になり、楽器店で試奏して衝撃を受け、頑張って金を貯めて数か月後に買った事が
懐かしく思い起こされます。
シンセサイザーの歴史を語るのに欠かせない名機だと思います。
My favorite synth and my favorite reviewer = the perfect match.
I own serial number 000979.......bought it in July 1988 and it still sounds good.
Please make a video with it!
This guy's enthusiasm for synths is really uplifting. I'd love to meet him! If only I spoke Japanese
he does speak English too, he has a couple of videos which are all in English language, but just try finding them because he has literally hundreds of videos, but don't ask me which ones they are ???
he is very, very good though I am also a fan of him :-)
.
Glen :-)
He seems to read the synth front panels pretty well which are in English! I gotta find an english vid.
@Jim Jones there's no need to get racist...
I'm learning some during lockdown so I can get the gist of what he's saying.
@@Glenfiddich101 Yamaha CP1 and CP5 videos, but they're on Yamaha's channel I think
いい音～このころの開発者のフロンティア精神と情熱は純粋で今でも美しく色褪せないですね♪
I have had the pleasure of working with the Korg M1 and some people say its dated and what not, a lot of other things as well but the honest truth is that its sounds like those that have made this synth a Classic Keyboard Workstation. Its up there with the Korg T3, Roland D-50, and personally my preference of synths are the Korg T3, Korg M1, Roland D-50, Roland JV&XP- 50, Yamaha DX-7 because of the great FM Synthesis! Its not always about making a hit with these newer synths from korg, yamaha and roland, its about making a Classic!
Preach it brother!!!! I know people that know absolutely nothing about all these amazing synths and say soft synths and computers are the only way to go. To them i say its only them thats losing out. The M1, DX7 and D50 defined the 80's era and paved the way To the things they now enjoy in making music.
@@kevinlangley9644 Hi Kevin. I agree that the M1, DX7 & D50 are icons of the 80s, however I would suggest that they *helped* to define the 80s, along with the Prophet-5, OB-Xa, Jupiter-8, PPG Wave, Emulator II, Synclavier & several other synths. IMHO, the full range of sounds, styles, and influences heard in mainsteam pop/rock, alternative & progressive/'art rock' during the late 70s (the dawn of New Wave, etc.) and the 80s is quite astounding (not to mention the many ways jazz, classical & soundtrack writers & musicians inovated/created with analogue, digital & wavetable synths, as well as 8, 12 & 16-bit samplers..). 😎
@ Jose
From your feedback, you have yet to try the sounds of Ensoniq synths, from the VFX to their Fizmo synth. Go have a listen, I own the old SQ2, Sd-1 and TS-10.
@@kevinlangley9644 Check out the Korg Legacy collection vsts at www.korg.com/us/products/software/korg_collection/
I stand corrected since my earlier post. I'm man enough to admit it.😃
this sound has been used in trilions of songs and movies. A classic
and cartoons.
プリセット音の「Universe」を聞くと、オープン間もない頃の渋谷LOFTを思い出します。エントランス近辺のデコレーションが効果音付きで、その音が正にM1の「Universe」そのものだったからです。
Most of the sounds of the Korg M1 reminded me a lot of early to late-90s House music, Danny Pelfrey's compositions along with Frank Gari's news music packages and also, games that I've played a lot on consoles like the Super Nintendo (SNES), the original Sony PlayStation and also the Nintendo 64.
The M1 is not outdated nowadays, but it has defined an era for sure. It was the epidemic of synths from the 1990s.
I have always loved keys but I'm a horrible player IMO. When I bought the Korg M1 when it first came out I was at a music store in Ohio goofing around on the same model and a shopper came up to me and asked me if I worked there! I said no and that I was just a customer like himself and he said that I was more informative and a better player than than the people that worked there. I will always remember that as highlight in my life. What a compliment that was. The M1 did all the work. ;-)
I just grabbed the M1R for $70! And this vid makes me even more glad I did.
Hello hi
It's a great sounding, classic unit--one of the biggest sellers of all time. Best of all, Korg issued it as a computer soft synth, so it:s easy and cheap to pick one up and add it to your stack.
+geoffk777 I bought that plug-in. Amazing that they squeezed an entire M1 in that little piece of software. :)
Not really, when you consider at the hardware level what the M1 actually is! It's just a CPU, a bunch of memory, and a highly specialised DMA controller, same as any early sample-based synth. Emulating such things is easy for even a 10 year old PC... the tricky part is making it sound "just like" the original. Maybe it's just my ears but I find modern samplers can sometimes be a little too perfect. I miss the grit! :D
Yeah, back in the day it's amazing that they did so much with so little memory and CPU to work with.
If you want grit, get a bitcrusher plugin. You can have all of the 8-bit dirtiness that you want ;)
I understand what you mean. As far as the plug-in goes, though, for me personally, "close enough" is good enough for me, since I never had the honor of owning the original. I finished a project recently using only presets from that Korg library, and to my ear they basically capture the essence of that sound, even if they're not 100%.
Well, one of the main weapons I used back when I still played was a Roland S550 as part of the drum rig :D It's less about the bit depth of the samples, and much MUCH more about the filtering and DAC at the end of the chain.
氏家さんが演奏すると、どんな楽器でも素晴らしく聴こえるから不思議ですね。
素晴らしい！
Even though I don't understand a single Japanese word, it's such a pleasure to watch your videos!
Korg M1 was my first workstation. I got a new one in early 1989. Even today I admire its easy and simple approach to work flow. Just press REC button and - record :)
Thank you for the english translations This "guy" explains things so that even the beginner can comprehend!!…. Great job!!!
I dont understand Japanese but I love the passion he puts in everything he says.
The words + the playing : very very enticing.
+kish2 then activate the sub-titles button under the video ;)
+Berten Majeur I like the *sound* of his voice speaking Japanese
+kish2 Its almost like you understand him though when he does the demonstrations of keyboards.
Highly used in the 90's on dance music.
Gorgeous thing. Lovely minimalist design coupled with a very unique and polished sound set. Sure, it's dated and it is really just a "rompler", but there is something about the sound which is very special. Back in the late 80's, with limited memory to work with, engineers and sound designers put a lot of love and care into the presets they created and it shows in instruments like the M1.
I have a Kronos, which has thousands of presets, 9 synth engines and god knows what else. And I love it. But I also have an M1, which I also love. It's got character.
Yes, the D50 is a better synthesiser, but the M1 is just as iconic. I also have a D50, by the way!
Minimalist design is what makes M1 hard to program, and this was problem with many digital synthesisers of this era, D-50, DX7. Roland's synths of analogue era, such as JX-8P at least had MPG-8 programmer as purchase option. But presets on M1, D50, DX7 are good enough and this made many songs, including soundtracks recognizable and classic of that era. Roland JD-800 was move in right direction.
80年代半ばから末期ぐらいの雰囲気で溢れているなあ！
コマーシャルなメロディーにぴったりなサウンドだ！
実機を持ってたんですがバックアップ電池が消耗しててプリセットサウンドが全部消えてしまいました・・。
でもホントに氏家さんが使うと別物になる不思議。
当時のニューエイジ、ヒーリングミュージックを想起させるサウンド
wonderful keyboard.I remember connecting the footswitch and using the rotary effect on the organ.My first leslie. The Universe sound was fantastic. Recently got the program set for my Korg Krome. sounds exactly the same.Thank you for the demo.
10:01の音、ユニチャームや日本食研のサウンドロゴにも使われてますね。
Beautiful synth and playing! 😊 I can only imagine how mind-blowing these sounds were when the M1 debuted. It's somewhat disappointing that Korg didn't include some of the household presets from the M1/01 series in their later synths, namely: Universe, DawnOfTime, Free Flight, and First Snow. At least the 'House' piano and percussive organ were mainstays, hehe.
Thank you for the English captions, this is the only video that shows how to do the sequencing and the manual was over my head. Excellent video, well shot and hosted, 10/10, and I'm comment number 420 (noice).
Yes, it is very beautiful and elegant, I agree. Today's synths don't seem to have much thought put into their aesthetics, and a musical instrument is THREE things: looks, feel, as well as the sound. Today's manufacturers seem to forget about the first two factors... I used to have MINT Korg T3 (with LCD backlight gone though...), but I had too many keyboards and had to make a choice. So, I sold all my Korg instruments, and my main bread-and-butter is Yamaha DX-series, and Roland D-series.
氏家さんの演奏が素晴らしいのは知ってますが、特筆すべきはドラム演奏の腕前！
鍵盤で即座にあれほどのドラミングが即興でできるのは驚きます。
bought one new in 1991 and still have it. paid about £1000 but you can amortise this over the last 25 years!!
Excellent playing and musicianship, Sir. You make the synth come to life!
Great demo and thanks for the English captions. Beautiful synth.
This dude could make Anything truly sound amazing!!
There was 2 sounds that people used the most in the 90's. That was the Piano and Organ.
Universe 00 for new age tracks
1:29 で流れている音色、『Universe』は、
浜田麻里さんの楽曲、『Heart and Soul』の2番サビ後の間奏に使われてますね。
（追記）
八神純子さんの楽曲、 Eurasian という曲の
イントロ部分にも使われてることが分かりました！
I still use my M1 I bought when they first came out. Construction quality is just bloody amazing and contrary to the option of somebody down here I feel it has one of the most beautiful and elegant designs in synth history. If you´re willing to explore the web you will discover that the instrument is capable of much more than the presets - it is absolutely great for all sort of atmospheric pads and has a sound all of its own which works nicely side by side with modern VST plugins.
Late 80s and 90s groovebox. This was it!

Thank you for the informative video and appreciate the English sub-titles. Liked the sounds at 11:40-12:00 . You sure have shown the versatility of this instrument. Wish the sales representatives at the stores would be knowledgeable about giving a good demo.
It's quite logical that sales representative are not capable to give a good demo. 1) salesman are no artists. Artists hate those kind of jobs 2) if they were knowledgeable enough to give you a demo they probably would not be working as salesmen.
@Xeraser That's true, i remember being impressed by synths playing on their own.
The Vintage Korg M1...subarashii des ne....ii kanji desu...
Developed at an amazing period with competing synths from Roland and Yamaha creating amazing sounds
Interestingly both Yamaha and Korg has a strong relationship, the circuitries and the mechanical parts on Korg synths are manufactured by Yamaha, Yamaha even bought Korg shorly before the release of the M1, though they both became independent in 1993 when the Korg's late founder Tsutomu Kato had sufficient funds to buy most of Yamaha's shares.
Katsunori UJIIE - You're reviews are the best!
Wow... the playing an the sound at 9:00 really cool... I have the M1 as a VST... thank you!
Hello and thanks for this M1 demo. I have the Korg N264 since the late 90's and also the Triton Extreme 76 since 2004. I use both boards on gigs because they work great together. I guess I could upgrade these boards, but the fact that one can edit sounds on these workstations make them timeless. I've been performing 2 or 3 days a week for a year and a half constantly, and these boards still stand up. I really have to give it to Korg for their exceptional keyboards. The n264 has some of the M1 sounds and one of the best organ sounds I've ever heard on a synth. Even the Triton's organ can't match that. But the Triton can sample the N264. So I'll just keep on playing both of these timeless boards and keep building my own sounds.Thanks again for the trip down memory lane. PS: The plastic side covers on the Triton Extreme got damaged so I smoothed the sides down and are building new ones with fiberglass. Can't seem to find the side covers and Korg don't make them anymore. Randell
the sounds of M1 are still very much alive in his emualdor VST.
The things i took for granted. I'd always thought how cheesy the pads were sometimes. Really they must have been amazing for the time, Christ.
1:29の音と10:01の音、好きです。あと、4:51のエレピ&パッド系の音も良いですね。
4:51のはベル系のサウンドのようですね……。
This synth has a soul, and an iconic one, at least.
que lindo recuerdo el m1!!! uno de los mejores para laburar en vivo .lo tuve en el 92"hasta 96".combi de caños infernales!!
korg shop have this in vst now for 24dollars
Seinfeld Bass at 10:16.
That's the same one
Who else likes the piano sound of M1?
Very nice sounds for a Rompler ahead of its time
unfortunately i was never financially able to afford on at the struggling period in life
I'm glad to say i own a Korg Triton Extreme w/Moss board & Korg KRONOS
each Korg synth has a different personality
I keep hearing bits of emersons work in there, thank you for sharing all these classic synths, not to mention your performance
かっこ良いですね！
うちに新品で眠ったまま。
All synth companies should just send him their new synths to make these videos. Ujiie is the synth master! Nobody better!
10:54のポコポコ鳴る音も印象的ですね。
I think every New Age musician, including me, was using the PAN FLUTE for almost every track. It could be modified in many ways or mixed with other sounds like DREAMPAD. You'll find it on my Valley Of Joy CD on my channel.
Finally got one today! So exited to check it out. Iconic Synth
still sound great i have the whole korg collection vsts M1 is my favorite over the triton
I still have one of these beauties , ujiie makes a 25yr old synth sound like a modern one , great demo as usual!
I totally agree with that. Nonetheless, the build quality of the krome is no where near their vintage keybaords, such as the M1, wavestation, X3 and even the N series keyboards which were introduced in the mid to late 90's. I have spent extensive time with their vintage keyboards and the kronos, and I know exactly what I am talking about.
あなたはキーボードで非常に堪能です。 おそらくあなたはTrinity Plusに関するビデオを持っていますか？
カツノリさんにありがとう。 好きで購読しました。
Always a pleasure to watch your reviews seeing you to demonstrate so much passion and love for those instruments :D
Still powerful now. Good stuff 👍
10:54 90年代の渋谷LOFT入り口を思い出します
yo le tengo este con las 23 tarjetas y el t1 con las tarjetas tambien hay sonidos que son muy buenos que hasta superan a algunos teclados de ahora y otros que son muy malos pero en genera, buen teclado para los años que tiene
WAVESTAIONのレビューも見たいです！
Музыкант играет замечательно!
"This next one is like a stack of synths all MIDI'd together, thus the name Midi Stack." **proceeds to make bossfight music** 13:01

M1! M1! 欲しかったぁー!! 社会人になってローンでやっと手に入れたのが後継のT3でした。1:30あたりからの感じ、NHKのハッブル宇宙望遠鏡とかに必須!! 10:00からのコロコロ音。喜多郎さん、そのまんま使ってましたね。
このシリーズはヤバイ
アルファジュノー２中古で買ってしまい、もD X-７II F Dも注文して発送待ち中、そのうちM１も？
購入させていただきました。
I actuslly didnt know that you could edit sounds like a traditional synth on this, that really cool.
This man is amazing
Great demo from a great synth!
KORG M1 Great Keyboard.
Thank you Kats
That’s a timeless design. Joey could easily use that same chassis with a touchscreen.
Still have the EXT3 big brother to M1. It's amazing on pads and so many other sounds.
beautiful sounds
昔のゲーセンの筐体からこんな音が出ていたような気がする。
i like the Korg m1, also i tried all the triton series, and also the M3... but i stop there. Not getting a kronos anymore, i bought a roland integra 7 instead... M3 + integra 7 is a beast....
got a roland jupiter 80 , king korg and korg m3....
Отличный звук, просто на высоте.
Awesome demonstration of this classic synth! I always enjoy your playing!
Such a good review man!!! Awesome! 👀👀
does he ever find something he doesn't like about the synths he review ?
that's what I was wondering. I also think that he can make most synths sound good because he can actually play keys...unlike me and most young music producers of today.
He did, in this review, as he pointed out that the piano sounds, in the M1, are a bit lackluster when compared to what is being produced today but that will be the case for any synth as vintage as the M1 is.
No he doesn't. I've watched many of his videos, never a single critic, not even a benign one. And when he warns about vintage piano sounding lackluster it's not a critic either, it's a compliment to how good these piano sounded in their days. The explanation is easy to guess . He worked as a sound creator for Yamaha. This industry is close knit and he is an insider. These brand companies all respect each other, they can be bought by each other any year. I bet he knows personally and has met most of the CEO of each of these companies for the last twenty years and he is part of it. He often talks about his DNA being in those sounds. His attachement is complete : financial, work, passion and relations. Don't expect him to ever say the slightest critic, not ever. But after a few videos you learn to read his mind, it is very subtle when he does not like something he just moves on but negativity is never expressed. It's annoying for the viewer. He is in fact an internet salesman and i am quite sure he gets paid lavishly when he reviews new products. In his Waldorf Quantum review he says, "there are so many options". That's as big a critic you will ever hear from him, it means this synth has too many options making hard to access sounds.
Katsunori UJIIE for President!
M1 was THAT Monster, still is?
Thank you for perform!
Wish I had this dude’s job,
Thanks Katsunori . Korg M3 Expanded demo Pleazzzzzzzz :-))))
thanks for a great review
The "Dream Pad" patch on the Korg M1 synthesizer was used at the end of the Wilson Phillips song "Next to You (Someday I'll Be)".
Hermosos sonidos de este clásico teclado.
¿Alguien sabe que categorías y parámetros trae el "GLOBAL" de ese teclado Korg M1?
Agradezco que alguien me ayude con esta pregunta.
I have this awesome sounding piece of vintage gear
Wow is that the Seinfeld bass at 10:18 hahah
+A UserName Sure is.
+A UserName dat slap bass tho
WOW...First sound like an electronic Sakuhachi brings to my mind Deep Forrest song Sweet Lullaby
7:42 American boy, American joy, American boy for always time!!! :-D
Gypsy Woman starts at 8;25
Ricky Moss hey, who is the composer? lots of songs with the name gypsy woman...cant find that tune
its by crystal waters
In the begining this sounds like Roland D50 amazing workstation.
Legendary M1! =)
