Favourite Korg Legacy plug-in

[calzakk]

If you had to choose one, what would be your favourite Korg Legacy plug-in, and why?

Tough call for me, but I went with the Wavestation.
When it comes to pads and motion sounds it's hard to beat.

Cheers

I had and still have a wavestation A/D so there's nothing new there for me and I didn't find the GUI to be much better than in the original. I had all of the rest too, but never had a MonoPoly. In fact, I've never even seen one anywhere, but even back in the 80s I was really interested in it. In my opinion, of all of the Legacy stuff, it's by the far the one they improved most. You have hordes of modulators now able to be routed to hordes of receiving parameters and all with clock sync functions. They made a major mistake not offering clock sync in the wavestation in my reckoning and they should have given it more filter types too. It's awesome that the M1 and Wavestation have practically every card and waveform offered for sale as part of it. The cards alone would have been worth several hundred dollars origianally. I like the Legacy cell and the combinations with the Polysix and MS-20 are greta along with all of their effects. But I really think that the MonoPoly is incredibly good sonically speaking too, even with just the one low pass filter. It's just a good sounding filter though.

Wavestation here. A 256-note polyphony WS with resonant filter, all the cards and LFOs that keep their speed when you play more than 4 notes.... I would have killed for that in the days!!! And nothing easier for a computer that to reproduce perfectly a digital synth. Analog modelling is practical but it's NOT the real thing by a hundred miles. I agree that the interface is not that better than the real thing, though.

I picked the M1... It's just a special instrument for me, and still relevant and useful 20 years after the fact. And the fact that the plug-in now has a resonant filter is the icing on the cake.

I own a Wavestation EX, and I've been thinking about getting the plug-in. But the fact that it doesn't expand upon the polyphony is a big downer. My Athlon could easily play more than 32 voices. I'm sure there is a valid reason why the plug-in was constrained, but I don't like it. I would have also liked to have seen a resonant filter added to the W/S Legacy.

Wavestation.

Through GUI I could find out how it works (structure of patches and wavesequencing) very well, and sounds so refreshing all the time.

Second will be monopoly and M1 tie....

I love the M1, i use it in all my projects.

If the Wavestation had a similar preset browser, i'd be torn between the two though... Both very flexible and they sound great...
