Korg | T2

Description

1989 Korg expanded the idea started with the M1 by releasing the T-series Musicworkstation with more sounds and adding the ability to load samples.

Much of the architecture of the M1 was onboard using Korg's AI synthesis method making it compatible with the M1 disks and DSM-1 disks. No resonant filter but the unit had 8 megabytes of rom and 1 megabyte of sample ram with 16 bit resolution.

A 50,000 event 8 track sequencer with 3.5" DSHD disk drive for storage. The ever present X/Y joystick for modulating the VDF filter and VDA. Velocity sensitive keyboard and MIDI IN/OUT/THRU.

T1: 88 weighted keys
T2: 76 Semi-weighted keys
T3: 61 keys

Velocity As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. Aftertouch Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel.
Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise.
