The M1 piano and organ presets were widely used in 1990s house music, beginning with Madonna's 1990 single " Vogue".As with most reviews the focus is on the design and its evolution with the synthesizer. Though the Sound on Sound journalist Mark Vail noted that Korg had not verified this figure, he wrote in 2002 that the M1 could "rightly be called the most popular synth of all time". The Korg M1 was released in 1988 and manufactured until 1995, selling an estimated 250,000 units. According to Sound on Sound, none of the M1's features were unique, but were implemented and combined in a new way. The M1 also features effects including reverb, delay, chorus, tremolo, EQ, distortion, and Leslie simulation, an innovative inclusion at the time. The timbres include piano, strings, acoustic guitar, woodwinds, sitar, kalimba, wind chimes, and drums. The sounds include sampled attack transients, loops, sustained waveforms without attack transients, and percussive samples. The M1 has a ROM with four megabytes of 16-bit PCM tones, including, according to Sound on Sound, "exotic instruments that previously hadn't been heard in the mainstream". The M1 features a 61-note velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive keyboard, 16-note polyphony with 1-oscillator Programs (or 8-note polyphony with 2-oscillator Programs), a joystick for pitch-bend and modulation control, an eight-track MIDI sequencer, separate LFOs for vibrato and filter modulation, and ADSR envelopes. According to Sound on Sound, it is one of the bestselling synthesizers, selling an estimated 250,000 units by 2002.
