#Korg legacy collection sale manual#
#Korg legacy collection sale software#

I already own the original Legacy collection so the included extras in the 1.5 edition of Wavestation are nice but not jawdropping.This collection precisely models the circuitry of historic analog synthesizers, fully emulating the depth and complexity of the miniKORG 700S, (KORG's first mass-produced analog synthesizer), the thick, persistent sound and flexible patching of the MS-20, the built-in effects of the six-note polyphonic Polysix, the thick, 4VCO monophony and unique polyphony of the Mono/Poly, and ARP's signature ARP Odyssey.ДЄ vast array of digital synthesizers also await your command, including the M1, the iconic multi-functional workstation that revolutionized the music industry, the TRITON, a pillar of 2000s sound, the TRITON Extreme, the vacuum tube powered peak of the TRITON line, the WAVESTATION, which synthesizes and combines multiple waveforms for smooth tone changes and the Prophecy, a physical modeling synthesizer developed to explore brand new sonic worlds.

If you want fatter sounds you can use the Wavestation which I find to be better for pads. You have to use the included dongle, which I understand is a big turnoff for some users. I found the M1 to be easy on computer power (but I own a dual 2 Gig Macintosh).

Maybe I missed the instructions to control those MIDI CCs in the manual but I'm pretty good at RTFM. Very strange given the power of computers nowadays.

And when I tried to control the pan per track with my software sequencer's mixer pan controls it did nothing to the M1's panning. You can control the volume per track with a sequencer mixer control but you won't actually see the volume's graphics move around. You have to individually pre-position them before working on a track.

You can assign some parameters to a MIDI fader box but not these parameters. The only thing I find strange about the Digital M1 is the lack of assignability of CCs to the individual track's volume and pan.

The press materials pretty much describe what you're getting so I can't add much in the way of color there. The M1/T1 sound was and is a bit thin but that was the character of the beast back in the day. The Korg T1 was basically an M1 with an 88-key weighted keyboard. When I heard about the Korg Digital edition coming out I had a rush of instant nostalgia. But I understand that software developers must do something to discourage piracy, so I guess I'll just have to be extra careful not to misplace the key. I plan to use the Legacy Collection on a laptop for gigs, and I'm concerned that the little USB dongle will end up getting dropped and lost somewhere. The only thing about the package that doesn't thrill me is the USB key copy protection. While I bought the collection for the Wavestation, I should mention that the M1 and multi-effects plugins are also very nicely done and will undoubtedly come in handy. I like to use sounds that aren't being heard on hundreds of other songs played in clubs and on the Net you put the WS in a track and it definitely stands out. Korg's new collection of performances for the 1.6 version do a fine job of demonstrating how the addition of filter resonance enhances the WS even further.

It can get crystalline digital sounds, industrial-sounding metallic textures, warmer analog type sounds, and complex morphing timbres, but they all have that hard-to-define, distinctive 'personality' that makes the WS so different. In an age where neo-analog synths are all the rage, the WS sounds like nothing else, just as it did fifteen years ago. To now have the WS in software, with 256-note polyphony, a resonant filter mode, and vastly improved ease of editing is an absolute thrill (and a cheap one at that, given the very reasonable price). I had been eyeing the Legacy Collection for a while and when my Wavestation EX started malfunctioning, it finally gave me an 'excuse' to order it.ДЄs a teenager, I owned a Prophet VS and lusted after the PPG Wave when the Wavestation came along, it was as if Korg had read my mind and created my dream synthesizer, combining the best of those two classic synths in a new instrument that was greater than the sum of its parts.
