released by <a href="/wiki/Korg" title="Korg">Korg</a> in 1997. The Z1 built upon the foundation set by the monophonic <a href="/wiki/Korg_Prophecy" title="Korg Prophecy">Prophecy</a> released two years prior by offering 12-note <a href="/wiki/Polyphony" title="Polyphony">polyphony</a> and featuring expanded oscillator options, a polyphonic arpeggiator and an <a href="/wiki/Touchpad" title="Touchpad">XY touchpad</a> for enhanced performance interaction.

Physical modelling recreated the sounds of <a href="/wiki/Acoustic_music" title="Acoustic music">acoustic instruments</a> by simulating their physical properties, as demonstrated by the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Yamaha_VL1&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Yamaha VL1 (page does not exist)">Yamaha VL1</a> in 1994. Analog modelling mimicked the characteristics of analog circuits, first introduced in the <a href="/wiki/Nord_Lead" title="Nord Lead">Clavia Nord Lead</a> in the same year. </p><p>Korg debuted their Multi-Oscillator Synthesis System (MOSS) in 1995 with the <a href="/wiki/Korg_Prophecy" title="Korg Prophecy">Prophecy</a> monosynth, which offered both physical and analog modelling synthesis. This technology was later expanded into a polyphonic format with the release of the Z1, which featured additional physical models.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:1_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The synthesis types offered by the Z1 led to the development of the MOSS expansion board, which incorporates Z1 sound engines into Korg's range of workstations, including the <a href="/wiki/Korg_Trinity" title="Korg Trinity">Korg Trinity</a> and <a href="/wiki/Korg_Triton" title="Korg Triton">Triton</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Sounds_and_features">Sounds and features</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Korg_Z1&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Sounds and features"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Z1 uses the same case as the <a href="/wiki/Korg_Trinity" title="Korg Trinity">Korg Trinity</a> and features a 61-note keyboard with <a href="/wiki/Keyboard_expression" title="Keyboard expression">velocity sensitivity</a> and aftertouch.

Each voice is generated from two physically modelled oscillators, complemented by a sub-oscillator and a noise generator. The Z1 offers a 12-voice polyphony and supports 6-part <a href="/wiki/Timbrality" title="Timbrality">multitimbrality</a>, allowing the voices to be distributed across six <a href="/wiki/MIDI" title="MIDI">MIDI</a> channels for multitimbral arrangements.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:1_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Z1 oscillators utilise the MOSS system, which offers 13 different synthesis algorithms employing various synthesis techniques such as <a href="/wiki/Physical_modelling_synthesis" title="Physical modelling synthesis">physical modelling synthesis</a>, <a href="/wiki/Analog_modeling_synthesizer" title="Analog modeling synthesizer">analog modelling synthesis</a>, and Korg's <a href="/wiki/Frequency_modulation_synthesis" title="Frequency modulation synthesis">variable phase modulation</a> (VPM) synthesis. Some of the various synthesis algorithms can be combined to create a vast range of sound. The Z1 features the nine models found in the Prophecy, which include the Analog, VPM, Brass, Reed, Plucked String, Comb Filter, Sync, Ring Modulator, and Cross-Modulation models.
