So from this angle, we are not trying to re-create it but throw Radical Piano it the direction of being a Korg M1 Piano.The main character of the M1 Piano is that it has a 'bright' touch to the sound itself. Yet it will sound a bit different and unique at the same time while doing so. There is a method to use Radical Piano to give it somewhat similar behaviour.

I have been putting together an NN-XT sampler patch which works with Reason 2.5 and above.M1_Piano.zipRadical PianoWhile I am not sure if the M1 Piano is modelled after FM synthesis (since parts of it sound like it is, while at the same time it does not sound like FM at all).
#Korg m1 original sounds zip file
Round-robin is a method where you randomly pick a sound that has a similar touch but a different expression while hitting the same key over and over again.The following zip file will contain most of the WAV files (courtesy of KVR forums and the people who have been working on this set of samples). The only thing that remains while doing such a conversion is to map all the different keys with the notes they belong too.While the original Korg M1 Piano only listens in to the velocity (louder / softer) I have set up an additional M1 piano that does something more creative while using filters and round-robin tables. The NN-XT sampler player can import the samples from existing EXS24 libraries out there (when they made up of loose samples).
While the samples are used for EXS24 (which is a sampler for Logic) I have taken my time to import these inside the NN-XT sampler player. FailedMuso has thrown these sounds on his blog post after discussing this on the KVR forums (back in 2009).
While in Reason itself we do not have an existing out of the box M1 Korg piano, there are however some resources out there (which I have gathered and throwing inside this article).Korg M1 SamplesThe easiest method would be grabbing samples from the Korg M1. The character from these pianos is somewhat similar to an electronic piano but with a touch of brightness to them. The Korg M1 Piano was a classic piano used by many house artists to create those nice stabbing chords or play melodies with them.
