Korg K61P And M1LE Make Bill All Misty With Nostalgia

July 08, 2008
Korg K61P and M1LE

Bill Holland learned to program on a Korg M1 back in the day (late eighties, yo) and was delighted to learn that the K61P controller keyboard ships bundled with the M1LE soft-synth. The M1LE GUI and patch bank were already familiar to Bill, who glides* through this demo like Scott Hamilton (coincidentally, Bill's favorite eighties celebrity reference).

M1 LE : no output to speakers

By: Cty

Purchased the Korg 61P for my studio. Got it setup with the authorization codes and so forth. I am getting output through my computer's speaker so the drivers are obviously set-up but am still getting the 61P's sounds (built-in to the controller) through my external speaker.

Basically, I have a 1/4" jack guitar cable from the L-Mono jack on the back of the controller to a mic jack on a stereo system.

How do I set up this controller to play through a PA?

So, the M1 LE is playing on your computer speakers?

If that is the case, I would say unplug the instrument cable from your 61. To use the M1LE, you just need a usb cable going to the computer from the 61p and you should be ready to go.

IF that doesn't work, check your preferences to make sure all the connections are good.
