Looks like it's still being made. Maybe Sweetwater doesn't want to handle it anymore bacuse all of the update issues make it more trouble than it is worth to handle it.

Sweetwater is not the only store which does not have the analog collection anymore.
The page of Digital Village for instance states it has been discontinued.
As far as I know, no official statement of KORG has been issued about discontinuing the Analog edition.

Korg doesn't do that until AFTER all of the product has been sold. Remember the OASIS PCI card? When they were being blown out for $300, nobody from Korg would answer any questions on it being discontinued *OR* if there'd be XP support.

With NAMM just a couple months away, maybe it and the possible EOL of the RADIAS means something new is coming soon?

I think that's a safe bet.

I have a feeling KORG won't be the only one with something new.
Roland seems to have stopped production on their flagship workstation, which usually is an indication that something new is on the horizon. Either that, or sales are REALLY very disappointing.

they can now be bought individually or as one package.

well at least now you can get the one Plugin you would like ...
however ... What about the People that own Old Legacy Collection versions Like Analog Edition 07 and Digital Edition ...
Don't they get a special Price to upgrade to the full package ???
Sorry to say but this proves once again how Korg thinks about people who already bought there software ...
They should at least give those people the chance to upgrade with a nice discount since they are already loyal costumers of there products

My question is why Legacy Cell is being left out. I think purchasers of the Polysix or MS-20 should get Legacy Cell too. It would encourage the purchase of the complimentary synth. Better yet, they could come out with a new Legacy Cell which allows the user to decide which synths to combine.

Apparently, Legacy Cell is still available as an additional free download if you get any of the MDE, MS-20 or Polysix modules.

Korg IS giving existing owners great deals to upgrade.

For both existing KLC-DE and KLC-AE07 owners, the prices are CHEAPER than they used to be.

As a KLC-1 or KLC-AE07 owner, Korg used to offer a discounted price of $99 for KLC-DE (retail was $149). Now you can buy them FOR THE EXACT SAME DISCOUNTED PRICE, $50 for Wavestation and $50 for M1.

KLC-AE07 used to retail for $199. Existing KLC-DE owners can buy the individual parts of KLC-AE07 for $150 (50+50+50), saving $50.

When you buy one product from a company, do you automatically expect to buy other products from that same company at a discount?

Most companies do not give cross-product discounts.

I believe you must own PolySix, MS-20 and MDE-X before you can download Legacy Cell, since Legacy Cell uses those three products.
