The Korg M1 is a synthesizer and music workstation manufactured by the Japanese company Korg from 1988 to 1995. It is one of the bestselling synthesizers in history, selling an estimated 250,000 units, and was widely used in popular music and stock music in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The piano and organ presets were used in 1990s house music, such as the Madonna single "Vogue" and the Robin S single "Show Me Love".
