Editing of certain sounds are limited and the GUI is not really great to work with. I found a lot sounded ‘empty’ and ‘weightless. There a few stand out presets but personally I didn’t like the majority of them. With so many presets (there are over 1500) you could sit around for hours and end up not finding the exact sound you’re looking for. Its hard to search for a specific ‘sound’ or preset as the presets are not grouped and their names don’t include for example ‘ loud bass’ or ‘dreamy pad’. Truthfully this is my least favorite synth in the package.

In addition to these and other unique revolutionary features, the sound section has equipped all of WAVESTATION’s PCM, and the parameters of the delicate parts have been fully reproduced in the software by analyzing the circuit map of the original design. The user could operate a joystick to "mix" or "morph" between four oscillators, or create a wave sequence by placing waveforms in a specific order to create rhythmic or melodic sequence patterns. The WAVESTATION synthesizer appeared in 1990 with its new "advanced vector synthesis system" which produced a new sound by combining and shifting between multiple complex waveforms. The oscillators can be a little daunting as there are a few too many for my liking, but for those tweaking can be allot of fun,and you could sit for hours tweaking up different presets and making your sounds. The‘leads’ and ‘pads’ presets here are amazing, well rounded and grouped together nicely. This evolution of Mono/Poly allows for complex and diverse sound creation making it great for creating and tweaking your own sounds.

The virtual patch functionality lets you use 159 different modulation sources to modulate 35 different destinations. Also you will find advanced ‘chord memory’ and arpeggiator functions and the synchro and cross modulation functions which can create their own effects.Įnhancements included such as 128-voice polyphony with up to 16-voice unison, two integrated multi-effects and an eight-way virtual patching matrix. Browsing for certain sounds was a little lacking here as they aren’t grouped as nicely as other synths in this collection.Īs the name suggests, this is an monophonic/polyphonic synthesizer which was originally produced in 1981 and according to the KORG website ‘was considered the culmination of Korg’s experience building analog synthesizers: Mono/Poly. ‘Features included are 4 VCOs each with an adjustable pitch, level, waveform and more. And the ability to add/remove effects so easily & muting/soloing/level changing combo presets was a nice touch. So rich and ‘juicy’ sounding, I couldn’t get enough of these presets. Standouts for me are the ‘choir’ and ‘pad’ presets. There are so many great sounding presets here. And to my surprise this is a stand out synth from the collection. This synth was the reason why I bought this whole collection. It is equipped with extensive sounds, including 33,000 preset sounds and 34 cards.

It provides all of the PCM, Program, and Combination data found in the original M1 and the M1EX internal PCM expansion, plus the PCM data and Program/Combination data from all nineteen optional ROM cards. The software features filter resonance, VDA modulation, and master effects. Originally manufactured in 1988, this synth produced many of the sounds from famous tracks released in the late 80’s and early 90’s, most notably you’ll find the disco organ found in Robin S’s ‘Show me love’. In this review I’ll be breaking down my thoughts on each of the synths and the collection overall. Recently KORG has been migrating and upgrading their website and online store, and now the newly updated Legacy Collection has been upgraded to included a 7th synth, the ARP Odyssey. Featuring sounds produced by the legendary KORG synthesizers. Originally released back in 2004, the KORG Legacy Collection was a pioneer of software synthesizers. For this small amount I was getting, at the time, 6 top class software synths. They were selling the Legacy Collection for a measly $90 (If my memory serves me well) and I thought to myself ‘ Why the hell not?’. Īt the time there was a rather great special that KORG was having. Having learnt where I could find this sound I headed on down to the KORG website and I wanted to purchase it. This sound preset can be found in the M1. Truthfully the only reason I got it was because I wanted a synth that could reproduce the ‘disco organ’ sound found from popular tracks such us ‘Robin S - Show me love’ & ‘Nightcrawlers - Push the feeling on’. I have been using the KORG Legacy Collection for about two years.
