Description

The Korg Legacy Collection (Digital Edition) is a treasure trove for producers and musicians, combining legendary sounds with modern software flexibility. This suite includes the revered M1 synthesizer, a recreation that captures the essence of the classic PCM synth sound from the late '80s and '90s. The M1 was a trailblazer, known for its polished, production-ready tones, and now its software version offers up to 256-note polyphony, complete with all original data and more than 2,700 preset sounds.

The collection also features the updated WAVESTATION synthesizer, renowned for its Advanced Vector Synthesis System. It lets you morph between complex waveforms and sequence them in innovative ways, creating evolving soundscapes that remain in high demand. Version 1.5 of the software adds all PCM data from the original ROM cards, expanding your creative palette with over 1,400 presets and the ability to import original series data.

Rounding out the suite is the MDE-X multi-effect plug-in, boasting 19 high-quality effects derived from Korg's esteemed digital processing technology. With 128 editable effect programs, this plug-in is perfect for refining your sound in the studio or live.

Critic Reviews

Korg Legacy Digital Edition

soundonsound.com

The Korg Legacy Collection (Digital Edition) delivers a nostalgic hit with faithful emulations of the classic M1 and Wavestation synths, enhanced with modern touches like filter resonance and additional effects. Including over £1000 worth of original PCM/ROM card data, this package offers immense value for digital workstation enthusiasts. The user interface is a breeze compared to the original, although effects levels can be slightly high and browser tagging for user banks is absent. At its price, it's a steal for anyone who appreciates the iconic sounds of Korg's digital legacy.

Korg Legacy Collection Digital Edition review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Korg's Legacy Collection Digital Edition is a nostalgic yet modern take on classic synth sounds. The M1 shines with a resonant filter and a vast array of patches, making it a must-have for digital synthesis fans. However, the Wavestation lacks this filter and the inability to import samples is a letdown. Despite minor drawbacks, the collection offers excellent value, with its comprehensive sound library and authentic emulation. Whether revisiting the past or seeking fresh presets, this collection is a standout for musicians.
