Korg Legacy Collection M1 Wavestation MDE-X

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
