Common KORG iM1 Questions
How do I connect the iM1 to my computer and configure it for MIDI control in my DAW?
Connect the iM1 via USB-MIDI. In your DAW, select the 'Korg iM1' as both the MIDI input and output device and choose the appropriate MIDI channel for communication to control the iM1's sounds.
Where are my saved Patterns/Presets/Kits stored, and how can I back them up to an external drive?
The iM1 stores user Patterns, Presets, and Kits in internal memory. To back them up, use the dedicated 'System' menu, choose 'Data Dump', and then select the desired backup option via USB to an external drive or computer.
I'm new to the iM1. What's the quickest way to start making music with it?
Begin by exploring the pre-loaded sound Presets using the category buttons, then experiment with layering them in the sequencer (accessed via the 'Seq' button). Consult the online manual for detailed instructions.
My iM1's screen is frozen, and it's not responding. What can I do to fix this?
Try performing a soft reset by pressing and holding the 'Shift' and 'Enter' buttons simultaneously for five seconds. If that doesn't work, power cycle the iM1 completely.
The iM1 has a unique 'Motion Sequencing' feature. How does this work and what are its capabilities?
Motion Sequencing allows you to record knob movements in real-time, then playback these movements to create evolving and dynamic sounds. This can be applied to various parameters within a preset or pattern for nuanced sound design.
