Korg Legacy Collection M1 Wavestation MDE-X
The Legacy Collection - Digital Edition from Korg builds on the success of the earlier Legacy Collection
and includes virtual software versions of two classic Korg digital
synthesizers, the M1 and WAVESTATION. The two instruments function
either stand-alone or within host systems that support VST, Audio Units
and RTAS plug-in formats.
Taking advantage of their technical
know-how as 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. Also included is the
MDE-X Multi-Effect suite of effects plug-ins that include EQ, chorus and
delay.
M1
As the first workstation synthesizer introduced in 1988 it
was a defining element in the sound of the late '80s through early '90s.
Along with its innovative workstation concept, the M1's AI (Advanced
Integrated) synthesis system used PCM waveforms and digital effects to
deliver polished, production-ready Program and Combination sounds
The M1 software synthesizer reconstructs the M1's sound
engine into an eight-part multi-timbral tone generator featuring up to
256-note polyphony
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
Includes all the T Series Program/Combinations including the T1's exclusive piano
Additional functions not found on the original include a
rich resonant filter and VDA modulation and a compressor effect. The
software also provides two insert effects for
each of the eight multi-timbral parts, as well as two master effects for even greater sound processing capabilities
Browser and search functions group sounds together based on
instrument type and tonal character, making it quick and easy to find
the right sound for any project
WAVESTATION
Appeared in 1990 and offered "Advanced Vector Synthesis"
which allowed combining and shifting between multiple complex waveforms
The software provides the original ability to "mix" or
"morph" between four oscillators to create unique sounds and textures
Wave Sequencing allows the playback of different waveforms
in a specific order to create evolving soundscapes and unique rhythmic
or melodic sequence patterns
All of the WAVESTATION and WAVESTATION-SR factory data, 550
Performances, 385 Patches, 484 PCM waveforms and 55 types of effects are
included, as are all of the PCM data, Patches and Performances
contained in the six original optional ROM cards
Version 1.6 adds a resonant filter (free upgrade)
MDE-X Multi-Effects
Nineteen effect types derived from Korg's digital recorders, TRITON synthesizers and effects processors
Featuring a low CPU drain design, MDE-X comes equipped with
128 editable effect programs perfect for sound design, recording,
mixdown sessions and even live performance
