is a Korg M1 or M1R with a 38-point patch bay that turns this classic workstation into a digital dream synth. Our modifications to the the M1 result in something you don't often get from a circuit-bent synth: a very subtle instrument. The patch bay works in a manner more akin to that of an analog modular synth, tweaking the sound in ways that are sometimes slight and sometimes striking, but only rarely hijacking your tone and taking it on a trip to crazy town. Patches tend to affect voice balance, filter parameters, the ADSR envelope, effects routing, and other synth settings in a manner somewhat comparable to real-time editing. This is the circuit bent synth for anyone who yearns to be patching away on a Buchla 200 series, but is stuck scrolling through menus on an alphanumeric screen instead. With the M1ODULE, you can have all the fun of creating synth tones using a patch bay without having to sell your grandmother to a sweatshop.

 

The bend points can be mixed and combined in many different patterns using the 12-point mixing bay, which includes two switchable three-way patches and one six-way patch mixer with five-way switching to break up the patch chain into various combinations.
