such a thoughtful and noble person you are for 'helping' bluedad.

Minikeys are annoying...that is all I'll say for the controller.

As for sound...simply outstanding. All of the instruments are. I love the MS-20 the most though. THat thing is just FUN to program. Moreso than the Wavestation and the polysix. But they ALL SOUND GREAT!!! I like their character. And using the Legacy Cell program is very cool, though I am still hard at work to get that down as far as learning its ins and outs for practical uses in songs...but when I do, it'll be awesome. Well worth the money...

And aside from the minikeys, the controller is great too.

hey I do what I can...

Now all I have to do is scan my cell phone bill, and change that $50 to $200. (in other words, my fiancee is gonna kill me, once again...)

I wouldnt trust Korg with a product that needs future support.

Based on their record, Legacy wont be updated for Longhorn.

It has had 2 minor updates already. Nothing much feature-wise, but still, it shows they're on it.

I think much will depend on the sale figures. If Korg does well on this we'll see more like it. But I don't think they've sold 2000 copies already as the controllers are still in the shops.

Not really. Korg OASYS made it to version 2.0.2. I see it as an attempt to solidify the product, and bolster confidence in future support, thereby earning more sales from those of us who think about stuff like that. Not really shady, per se, just business practice.

Bingo.

Being an OASYS owner, I know first hand that Korg will drop Legacy like a hot potato if it flops. If it earns money, my feeling is they'll support it, add to it, and possibly port that OASYS code to native (ok now everybody go buy a Korg Legacy...).

OASYS was indeed a certified flop in Korg's eyes, even though it is a fabulous work of engineering, and to this day, has a loyal following of ~1000 users, and continued third party development.

The controller is one of the most awful kybds ever, and the synths can do nothing you cant do with any synth already available, and in the case of the MS20 and PolySix, free stuff.

Look, I was about to buy the Korg vsts after I tried the demos for some time. I like a lot the way they sound. If what you really want is emulations of the 3 synths, it's perfect for you cos they're great emulations.

HOWEVER, the package is quite expensive (more than 500 euros) and (believe me) there is a quite cheaper alternative and even better, in my opinion.

Korg Wavestation can perfectly be replaced with Wusikstation. And the MS-20 and Polysix with a couple of very good free synths called Synth 1 and Asynth. That would make 100 euros in total.

And in the case you were not convinced by the free alternative (which is great, but I understand we sometimes think free equals lower quality, which is an error but anyway) you can get Reaktor Sessions: there, apart from marvellous synths of any kind, you'll have a very good emulation of a MS-20 and other similar to polysix...

and that would make around 350 euros, much cheaper than the Korg Collection and quite better, in my opinion. that's what I did and I haven't regretted at all...
