Korg Collection 5 Adds 3 New Virtual Instruments
Today, Korg introduced a major update to Korg Collection, its suite of virtual instruments for Mac and Windows.
KORG Collection 5 is now a software collection of 14 synthesizers, 2 effects processors, and 1 drum machine in total, including the famous MS-20, Mono/Poly, M1, TRITON, microKORG and more.
Originally intended as a repository for software emulations of its own synths, Korg’s Collection has now been expanded to include instruments that come from different hardware stables.
Version 5 of the bundle is headlined by the classic ARP 2600 synth. Korg promising to accurately emulate the original synth, this plugin version also offers various improvements. These include a second filter, a drive section, new modulation sources, MIDI control, a sequencer and up to 16 voices of polyphony.
An emulation of the Vox Super Continental combo organ beloved by British bands of the ‘60s and ‘70s is also here.
Finally, there’s the EP-1, a homage to classic electric pianos such as the Fender Rhodes. This one will be familiar to owners of Korg’s Kronos and Nautilus synths, as it’s based on the same Multi-Dimensional Synthesis (MDS) technology. This is designed to offer greater realism than you’d get from a standard sample-based engine.
KORG Collection 5 three new virtual instruments, ARP 2600, VOX Super Continental and EP-1:
- ARP 2600 for Mac/PC – based on a legendary synthesizer, introduced in 1971.
- VOX Super Continental for Mac/PC – a carefully modeled virtual instrument, based on the combo organ which first appeared in the 1960s and featured extensively in music from the 1960s British Invasion era through to the ska and new wave scenes in 70s and 80s.
- EP-1 for Mac/PC – This plugin is based on the MDS (Multi-Dimensional Synthesis) technology developed for Korg’s KRONOS and NAUTILUS synthesizers.
