The M1 sounds great, and the Wavestation remains a classic. It also seems strange that the M1 has been given a new resonant filter but the Wavestation hasn't.Īll told, the Digital Edition is excellent. However, while we applaud Korg's keen eye for authenticity, we can't help wishing that we could load our own samples into the synths, especially the Wavestation. Still, this only adds to the authenticity of the emulation.įaults with the Digital Edition are few and minor.

Korg´s bundle will make you fall in love with digital synthesis all over again. You still have Patches and Combis, and it remains eight-part multitimbral. Korg Legacy Collection Digital Edition review The legendary hardware manufacturers have stuffed another of their classics into a plug-in and enhanced a pair of existing soft synths £119 By Music Radar Team published 10 December 07. The architecture of the M1 itself hasn't changed a whole lot. But thanks to the enhancements to the synthesis engine, they feel revitalised - these are some beautiful patches.

What's more, because Korg has given the M1 a resonant filter, the analogue patches sound a helluva lot more analogue than they did on the original model, and the new compression makes the drums more bombastic than they were in the 80s.Īnd those pads! The M1 was always a killer resource for thick, evocative pads. You get organs galore, and the timeless piano that you'll know from countless house tunes. These patches include everything from that familiar six-string guitar to sweet strings and brazen brass blasts.
