Korg Legacy Collection Digital Edition
Korg has introduced the Legacy Collection — Digital Edition, software plugin versions of two of their big-time classic digital synths — the Korg M1 and a new version of the Wavestation. There’s also the MDE-X multi-effects plugin, which was also in Korg’s original Legacy Collection. This is pretty exciting — I remember wanting an M1 when it first came out all those years ago. Maybe now I’ll be able to get one.
The website includes all the details, as you would expect:
M1 Software Synthesizer
The sound engine of the M1 — renowned as the first widely popular music workstation — is available as an eight-part multitimbral virtual instrument, and has been updated with new features such as a resonant filter and dual Insert effects. In addition to offering the PCM, Program and Combination data of the M1 plus all of the data from the 19 optional PCM/Program cards, new drum sounds have been added for a massive total of over 2,700 vibrant presets.
Wavestation Version 1.5 Software Synthesizer
Korg’s Wavestation, which was reintroduced as software in the original Legacy Collection, has been updated to Version 1.5. It now includes all of the PCM and Program data from the original Wavestation, Wavestation SR and all six of its popular optional cards, providing a versatile and expansive arsenal of 1,400 presets and sounds.
MDE-X Version 1.2 Multi-effect Plug-in
The MDE-X suite of effects from the original Legacy Collection has been updated to Version 1.2, adding RTAS support for use within ProTools systems. Featuring 19 types of effects and 128 presets, MDE-X’s broad range reflects many years of technical expertise derived from Korg’s effects processors, synthesizers (including the TRITON family) and digital recording studios.
All three elements of the Korg Legacy Collection — Digital Edition (M1, Wavestation v.1.5 and MDE-X v.1.2) support RTAS, VST and Audio Units plug-in formats. The M1 and Wavestation 1.5 can also operate as stand-alone instruments, and each provides up to 256 notes of polyphony (depending on the host computer’s CPU power).
