just on a historical note...i read that the Roland MT-32 cease
and desist action on emulators was overturned when it turned out that
roland did not have verfiiable ownership/patesnts for the MT-32
sounds
thanks for the info about the wavs in the boxes

its pretty obvious the k1 is a poor man's M1
i only have the digital pc based M1 recreation
but I enjoy playing with the K1 more as the M1 seems more bland
but maybe if i had both boxes it would be different
this leads me to another thing..
degradation plug ins on computers do not seem to produce very
comparable results with actually having a bit of old gear with low
sample and bit rates
instead of gettiong a rounger sound they seem to just produce
breaking up and disotrtion
i refer to free vst plug ins...and native degradation in the NI
FM7, software studios and the SP12-ulation on Emu's DSP Emulator X
