Korg Legacy Collection Digital Edition Virtual Instrument
The KORG Legacy Collection delivers classic Korg synthesizers reborn as software. Taking advantage of the technical know-how uniquely available to the original manufacturer, Korg has received high acclaim for turning some of their most legendary instruments into software while adding modern parameters and up-to-date ideas. Now, joining the KORG Legacy Collection is the Digital Edition, featuring the software incarnation of the legendary M1 and an enhanced version of the WAVESTATION software synthesizer.
M1 Software Synthesizer
Back by popular demand: the definitive software version of the classic M1, the Korg synthesizer that established the PCM synth sound. The M1 software synthesizer reconstructs the M1’s sound engine into an eight-part multi-timbral tone generator featuring up to 256-note polyphony. The M1 software synthesizer is a complete stand-alone virtual instrument; and also supports RTAS, Audio Units and VST plug-in formats to fit smoothly into a modern music production environment.
The M1 software synthesizer provides numerous new functions that were often requested for the original M1. At the top of the list is a rich resonant filter, and we’ve also added VDA modulation and a compressor effect. While the original M1 had two effect processors, this new software incarnation boasts two insert effects for each of the eight multi-timbral parts, as well as two master effects, for even greater sound processing capabilities.
WaveStation 1.5
In 2004, the Korg Legacy Collection introduced the WAVESTATION software synthesizer. All of the WAVESTATION and WAVESTATION-SR factory data – 550 Performances, 385 Patches, 484 PCM waveforms, 55 types of effects – was included in this original release.
The new WAVESTATION software synthesizer Version 1.5 adds all of the PCM data, Patches and Performances contained in the six original optional ROM cards – more than 250 Performances, 250 Patches, 250 PCM waveforms and 150 Wave Sequences – long sought after by many current WAVESTATION owners. The WAVESTATION v1.5 software synthesizer opens new sound programming territory, providing more than 1,400 preset sounds plus a massive collection of additional PCM waveforms and Wave Sequences. Best of all, the WAVESTATION v1.5 software synthesizer is able to import original WAVESTATION series data via SysEx (SYX) files.
The WAVESTATION software synthesizer Version 1.5 is ready for today’s musical challenges, providing support for RTAS, VST and Audio Units plug-in formats – as well as stand alone operation.
MDE-X Version 1.2 Multi-effect Plug-in
MDE-X is the awesome multi-effect plug-in first introduced in the Korg Legacy Collection, delivering 19 high quality effect types derived from the technical innovation and research behind Korg’s Digital Recorders, TRITON synthesizers, and effects processors.
With the new Korg Legacy Collection – DIGITAL EDITION, MDE-X Version 1.2 is here, and now supports RTAS, as well as VST and Audio Units plug-in formats. Featuring a low CPU drain design, MDE-X v1.2 comes equipped with 128 immediately useful and editable effect programs perfect for sound design, recording, mixdown sessions – even live performance!
