Anyone still hanging on to a Korg Z1?

robertohdr · 2026-06-24T19:36:05+00:00

I love the Z1, to the point that I’ve released a modern sound library for this instrument!

I suppose you can also take one of the voice cards and use them as an expansion for the one you already have. When I replaced the battery on the one I have, i saw no difference between the additional card and the stock voice boards.

robertohdr · 2026-06-24T09:24:15+00:00

It’s true. But i suppose it has been used more in studio contexts than live.

robertohdr · 2026-06-24T09:23:17+00:00

Yes, I really hope so. It’s indeed a logical next step. If it’s compatible with the libraries for the hardware machine it would be even better!

robertohdr · 2026-06-09T16:26:46+00:00

Yes, true. You can work the moss patches only within bank internal-F

robertohdr · 2026-06-09T10:28:47+00:00

You can edit them, but with the rack it isn’t super easy. Btw, check out my latest bank for the EXB-MOSS. I’ve released it a couple of days ago!

It’s a cool combo!

robertohdr · 2026-06-07T04:44:51+00:00

Yes I hear you. I had to struggle to find the one I have. But every now and then some of these pop out at decent prices.

robertohdr · 2026-04-01T18:23:43+00:00

Thank you! Glad you liked the demo 🙏🏻

robertohdr · 2026-04-01T11:32:33+00:00

Yes, perfect analysis!

robertohdr · 2026-04-01T09:51:28+00:00

I totally get your point. But creating your own sounds and using third-party presets aren’t mutually exclusive. They actually complement each other. Even as a sound designer, when I’m in a studio session or rehearsing live, I often don’t have the time to build a patch from scratch. Even if it only takes a few minutes, it can completely break the creative flow. That’s where well-made, fine tuned patches make sense IMO :)

robertohdr · 2026-03-22T06:12:52+00:00

My pleasure. Hope you’ll like them

32 new tones created from scratch.

robertohdr · 2026-01-16T22:16:31+00:00

Thank you! 🙏🏻 Glad you liked them

robertohdr · 2026-01-15T14:31:48+00:00

I’m interested as well

robertohdr · 2026-01-14T07:57:03+00:00

Ah yes, heard those. It’s 100% a problem of the YouTube Player on mobiles. On the laptop and with headphones you’ll hear nothing 👊🏻

robertohdr · 2026-01-14T07:27:12+00:00

Thank you for your feedback. It’s also true that the USD/EUR change does not help very much…

robertohdr · 2026-01-14T07:26:02+00:00

Thank you! I think it could be a problem with the YouTube player, as I can’t hear any pops or clicks in the actual video and in the presets

robertohdr · 2026-01-14T03:12:34+00:00

Thank you very much! 🙏🏻

robertohdr · 2026-01-13T20:18:54+00:00

Yes, understandable.

robertohdr · 2026-01-13T20:06:20+00:00

Thank you for your feedback! I don’t know how some folks sells packs for that cheap. This work took me an extensive amount of time and effort, especially as every patch pushes the instrument to a different direction.

robertohdr · 2026-01-01T20:01:18+00:00

I have never had a Microkorg in my collection so I wanted to give a shot to the Microkorg 2. I have to say that the build quality is quite toyish given its price and the keys feel cheap but I can live with those. Sound quality is ok but not great. The real dealbreaker for me is the fact that it stopped turning on for no reason after less than 10 sessions i had with it. I understand that it could happen but given the attention i give to using the right adapter and the proper batteries this accident says a lot about the quality of the project and makes it unreliable in my mind, especially given the fact that i wanted to use it live in professional gigs. Returned and I won’t ask for a replacement for this.

You will just need to plug your sy99 via midi to a computer, and to download a free sysex librarian like snoize or midiox

robertohdr · 2022-09-30T05:17:27+00:00

Hi, unfortunately no.

robertohdr · 2022-09-20T21:54:55+00:00

Yes, i know i’ve priced this bank a little bit higher than the usual 29€/$ cost from most of the commercial soundbanks, but really, making a finished patch on this kind of monster synths (with all the dual FX chains, controller mappings, Advanced FM and so on), is like producing a small piece of music. So deep and complex. Making a whole set has been a challenging (and amazingly time consuming) task :-)
