KORG Legacy Collection

I pirated this at one point in time and I didn't like them. Patching an MS-20 in real life is fun. Patching a pretend ms-20 with a mouse is not.

They sound alright, nothing that any other VST hasn't achieved IMO.

My chance to get assistance on something:

I've had the MS20 controller for some years, but I've never been able to use it when loading up the ms20FX plugin that uses the external signal processor. It connects just fine with the instrument plugin, but not the ESP. Never has, and I've used the same license on two different computers, so that's not the problem.

They sound decent, but the ms-20 doesn't sound quite like the real thing. Then again you can stack a ton of voices and play it multitimbrally. The filter sounds pretty raw and gritty, so it's good if you just use it as an effect on external sounds. I have the controller, and even though it's just pretend, it makes patching and tweaking knobs 100% more enjoyable.

And yeah, the controller doesn't work properly on the ms-20 fx vst. Lame.

Absolute bullshit. Thank you for clearing it up.

Still rocking the polysix! Just finished a track where it's prominent! You have to boost the high frequencies a bit though..

Heads up, all these vsts are half off till december 28th. I bought a korg midi controller for 40 bucks and the rest of the vsts for 50 bucks. They're really good. I'm really digging the Mono/poly because it's a lot like the microkorg but with 2 more oscillators and some killer built in effects. Really bought this for the wavestation but it is completely not intuitive, really wish there was an extended youtube tutorial series on it but i guess i just need to sit down and read the manual. M1 is also great for quick sounds, just messing around. It's like this musical/cultural archive because so many sounds are recognizable and some of the patch names are pretty funny like Acid 3003 (i'm sure you can figure that one out)

At the end of the day tho, I find that I don't really need all these vsts and having a big library of vsts kinda gets in the way of actually making music but these definitely blow Ableton's Analog out of the water.

Most anything blows Live's analog synth out of the water IMO.

If the controllers are that cheap, it could be a good purchase. I didn't dislike the sound, I just hate patching stuff with a fucking mouse on a screen. It's the same reason the Moog Modular from Arturia drove me into just making a patch for 3 hours that I could have made in 20 minutes with the hardware right in front of me... Although making a 8 voice ambient droning pad that goes on for eternity was really cool sounding by the end lol

MonoPoly is def one of my fave synths.
