I remember the update and upgrade I got when I sold my first pro board... the Korg M1. I replaced it with a Korg O1/Wfd. Floppy drive in the board. The updated sounds. The larger sequencer with 16 tracks vs 8 tracks... the polyphony jump from 16 to 32... the new percussion sounds. The list went on. I got my M1 in 1989 and sold it in 1993 for the O1/W.

I did the same thing when I went from the Triton Studio in 2004 to the Yamaha Motif ES. I still use the ES 13 years later.

All of my sequencer/workstation changes made what I could do with arranging sound better and be more efficient with file storage and recall.

I like to use the artist analogy...

The M1 was a canvas with 5 oil paint colors to use.
The O1/W was a canvas with 20 oil paint colors and new different sized brushes.
And so one and so forth.

Painting with sonic colors is my life!!
