Korg T1 Sound library collections for the T-Series

It was common for the synthesiser manufacture's of the late 1980's and 1990's to issue sound libraries for their instruments.  These were distibuted on cartridges that plugged into the instruments,  ROM (Read Only Memory) cards that slotted into card reader sockets and disks into the onboard disk drives of later instruments.

Korg was no different to the other manufacturers and released a series of disks for the Korg T1 and other synthesisers in the T-Series Range.  And have continued this through to Kronos.

Korg TRam TSD 01 - 10

There are actually 11 disks issued as part of the initial release.

• TSD-00PI - T1 Factory Sounds

The first disk in the series was the disk that allowed you to reload the Korg T1 back to the sounds.  This disks carries includes 100 Combinations and 200 Program Sounds.  I beleive that this disk was included in the box when the synthesiser was new.  Of course over the years the Korg T1 (T-Series) have been seperated from this original disk.  if you own a Korg T1 this is a disk that you need to own! 

• TSD-01 - SYNTH

• TSD-02 - DRUMS

• TSD-03 - COMBINATION 1

• TSD-04 - COMBINATION 2

• TSD-07 - ETHNIC

• TSD-08 - SOUND EFFECTS

• TSD-09 - ENVIRONMENT

• TSD-10 - VOICE

The next 10 disks were issued through the dealer network during its first year of production. Each disk contained about 20 new combinations loaded into possitions C00 to C20.  The remaining combination slots would be the combinations that were on the Korg T1 prior to load.

The disks also load 100 programs into the A-bank.  The B-bank remains as it was prior to loading the disk.

Korg TSD-301

The Korg TSD-301 is a single disk.  And in truth I am not sure where this disk came from.  You don't see this disk floating around very often.  This disk as a single disk contains 100 programs in both the A and B banks and 100 combinations based on these programs.  

If you play music in the style of the 1980's or 1990's and if you don't get any of the other disks then you should buy this one.
