The Legacy Collection bundle from Korg is an awesome set of virtual instruments!
Korg has recreated some of their most beloved and classic synthesizers here as
software plug-ins - the MS-20 mono-synth of the 1970's, the super fat Polysix
analog synthesizer and the ground breaking Wavestation digital synthesizer. Legacy
Cell allows you to combine the MS-20 & Polysix plug-ins for even more dynamic and
exciting sounds! Stand-alone operation via Core Audio as well as VST/Audio Units
make it at home in almost any computer workstation.
Minimum Requirements

Main Features:
* MS-20 software synthesizer
Since the MS-20 went on sale in 1978, this semi-modular monophonic synthesizer
has enjoyed unbroken popularity for its thick and solid sound, aggressive analog
filters, and inexhaustible potential for creative patching.
With two oscillators (which can be ring-modulated), high-pass/low-pass self-
oscillating filters with unique distortion, and a patch section with an external
signal processor that can accommodate external audio input, the MS-20 software
synthesizer provides a complete simulation of its legendary original. In addition,
it gives you modern advantages such as up to 32 voices of polyphony and up to 16-
voice unison (with detune/spread function).
Flexible external modulation settings and MIDI clock synchronization have also
been added, giving you even greater creative potential. Along with the provided
Programs, a number of templates are included providing instant setups for running
audio through the filter and other commonly-used functions.
* POLYSIX software synthesizer
The Polysix programmable six-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer was introduced
in 1981. With a surprisingly full-sounding voice structure, chorus/phase/ensemble
effects and performance functions such as chord memory, arpeggiator, and unison the
Polysix became a world-wide hit. Its distinctive string and pad sounds are often
heard to this day. In addition to faithfully replicating the sound of the original,
the Polysix software synthesizer also adds enhancements such as 32-voice polyphony
(max), up to 16-voice unison (with detune/spread function), flexible external
modulation settings, MIDI clock synchronization, and a spread function that adjusts
the spaciousness of the effects - functionality that brings this classic synthesizer
up to date for modern music production. The interface provides reorganized knobs and
switches that resurrect the Polysix in a contemporary "rack-mountable" form for even
more intuitive operation and sound-creating versatility.
* WAVESTATION software synthesizer
The WAVESTATION synthesizer appeared in 1990 with its new "advanced vector synthesis
system" which combined and shifted between multiple complex waveforms. It received
numerous awards from around the world, including U.S. Keyboard magazine's "Hardware
Innovation of the Year." The user could operate a joystick to "mix" or "morph" between
four oscillators selected from the large onboard collection of waveforms, or create a
wave sequence by placing waveforms in a specific order to create rhythmic or melodic
sequence patterns, opening up a revolutionary new world of sound to which there is
still nothing comparable.
The WAVESTATION software synthesizer provides all 484 waveforms and 55 effects found
on the WAVESTATION series (including the WAVESTATION-SR!), with 32 digital oscillators,
32 digital filters, 64 envelope generators, and 64 LFOs that allow letter-perfect
replication of the three-dimensional WAVESTATION sound, famed for its time-varying
timbral change. In its new software incarnation, the original editing structure has
been preserved, while giving you a redesigned graphical user interface that takes
advantage of the intuitive operation possible with software.
All of the WAVESTATION's factory preset programs, 550 performances, and 385 patches are
included. You can also import any WAVESTATION series data that has been stored in .SYX
format.
* LEGACY CELL
As if all this isn't enough, Korg also included Legacy Cell, a Performance based plug-
in that lets you freely combine two instances of the MS-20 and/or Polysix together along
with a dual-effects processor for even more dynamic and unique sonic creations!
It offers 127 presets with plenty of room for your own combinations. The MDE-X effects
processor offers everything you could want from reverbs and delays to distortion and
even the MS-20's filter section is available as an effect. A virtual Korg microKontrol
is built-in to the Legacy Cell too for real-time assigning and manipulation of any
editable parameters, and it works instantly with a real microKontrol too
