RACK a two units rack unit quite solid all out of metal, same 01 RW or Wavestation AD frame structure. Exists in two version: plain and EX which means it has an extra ROM wavetable with more sounds.

The main panel features 36 buttons, one main data encoder for value editing, two slots for PCM and data cards and a headphones outputs. The display is a 16 x 40 pixels LCD with retro-backlight featuring active matrix, in other words it won' t fade out during years.
>TECH< the round buttons on M1 keyboard version are quite fragile and it's not uncommon to see some contacts not working anymore, somehow the rack seems to be more reliable in time.

Back panel has the following connections: Midi I/O, Main stereo Outputs plus another AUX pair (Stereo or Mono + Mono) and two pedal inputs freely assignable to Program change Up-Down, Sequencer Start-Stop, Effect ON-OFF, Filter Cutoff, Data entry +-1 or Effect parameter controls.

Power supply is internal with standard VDE connector.

 

INFO: The M1R has exactly the same synthesis structure as synth version M1.
