    Default Production Trend: Korg M1 "Deep House" Organ Bass

    Around 1990, Robin S. had the hit single "Show Me Love". This used the Korg M1 Patch #17 "Organ2", and spawned* a trend in a whole lot of house tracks in the early 90s that suddenly got some "House Remix", supposedly spreading some magic dust on the track to make it sound deep.

    *please let me know if there were house tunes earlier than Robin S. who used the synth patch in the same way.

    I'm doing the tough task of tagging my mp3 library by famous instruments. I've finished the tracks containing TB-303s, but that list is way too long to include here I'm now starting to tag the Korg M1 organ bass (or similar sounds), and wanted to share my results with you. Some of it may come in handy to people trying to ID tunes that use this instrument.

    The synth patch is attatched as a sound clip, if some of you don't know what this is all about. Courtesy of synthmania.com.

    Some suggestions... not sure that all of these are the M1 patch...
    - Atlantic Ocean - Waterfall [surprised that it's not on the list]
    - Interceptor 17 - Interceptor 17
    - Interceptor 17 - Hallelujah
    - Sven Väth - L'Esperanza (Visions Of Shiva Hope Will Move Any Mountains Mix)
    - Jaydee - Plastic Dreams [the organ is heavily processed and slowed down]
    - Whiplash - Over Me
    - ...anything from Bass Bumpers (Runnin' (Tequila club mix) comes to mind)
    - ...anything from LaTour - (especially 'Blue', 'Cold')
    - Robin S - Luv 4 Luv [obviously =)]
    - II Example's - Just Can't Help Me
    - Sagat - Funk Dat
    - ...lots of General Base tracks use that as offbeat bass ('Just Hold On' and 'Poison' from their album 'First')
    - ...lots of use in Reel 2 Real tracks
    - Future Breeze - Why Don't You Dance With Me
    - DBX Feat Anna - Deejay (Organ Mix)
    - DJ Flavours - Rock Da House
    - Bamboo - Bamboogie
    - Shena Featuring Byron Stingily – Let The Beat Hit Em (Original Mix) [not sure that it's the M1 patch]

    - ...and for bonus: almost anything by Vengaboys =)

    Great idea m8, but because that organ sound got sampled, it will be so ubiquitous, it would hard to work out what is sampled and which is synthesizied.
