Is there any better SW Synth Deal than the Korg Legacy right now?

Image Line Harmor for $50

Boo. Ended 30th May.

[edit - OOH! The coupon still works. Just got it. ]

[manandmusic]

So ... for ~ $140... the full Korg Legacy suite, and a very useful controller.

Ummppfff - where did you get it for that price!

[Examigan]

For $50... I picked up the NanoKey2 USB midi keyboard. I plan to use it on-the-go with my iPad, or when I am traveling with my Macbook Air. It easily beats using the keyboard controller in Logic, for quick capture of beats or tunes.

Korg has a $10 rebate going on on their nano controller series -- so the nanoKey2 is really $40.

There is also an upgrade sale going on - which allows nano controller owners to get the full Korg Legacy software suite for $99.00. This includes:
Korg M1 with all of the "Expansion card" sounds
Korg WaveStation with all RAM/ROM banks
Korg Mono/Poly
Korg PolySix
Korg MS-20
Korg's MDE-X Effects Suite

Do you have to get the NanoKey2 through the Korg site? Or is there another link you have to it that I can check out?

I bought the Nanokey through Amazon and have the coupon for the $99 upgrade to the Legacy Collection.

And recently they all went 64 bit!

Some time ago there was a statement from someone at Korg that Korg would not make the effort to update them...but they did!

The $10 rebate is one of those mail-in ones. Details here.

With my MicroKey 25 I had to register the bundled copy of M1 LE. Then I qualified to buy the $99 Legacy Collection upgrade.

The MicroKey 61 has the full Legacy Collection bundled.

If you pay full retail for NI Komplete 9 you get 34 instruments, effects, and sound packs for around $16 USD apiece.

Komplete 9 Ultimate gives you 65 separate products for around $17 apiece.

So in terms of price-per product, I think that edges out the 6-products-for-$140 proposition in the OP.

KLC is a great and unique collection though. Well worth it.

If you can get DCAM: Synth Squad for $99 (which isn't rare), I think it's quite a great deal too, but it will come with a higher CPU hit.

* this

For those who asked.. The NanoKey is $50 through Amazon, the $10 rebate is on the Korg site, as is the upgrade to the Legacy Collection. Total -> $140 for the NanoKey and the Legacy Collection. (the upgrade/deal applies to all three of the Nano series Korg devices... not just the keyboard). Great deal. ...or as mentioned.. the MicroKey 61 includes the bundle and a larger midi keyboard for $180 or so.

Wait, people still use those cheesy new age sounds?

Enya baby!

Heheh I gotta admit, I still totally love The Cross Of Changes by Enigma. One of my favorite go-to-sleep/sorta-meditate records

To be fair, you get 9-10 products with the KLC update (3 AAS Session players & Toontrack EZ drummer Lite). Which would make them $14 per module. (With a free controller).

But does it really matter how many items are in the kit if they are all subpar? I'm not saying they are, but what I am asking is shouldn't quality matter over quantity?

I'd rather have one synth that really grabs my attention and sits well in a mix vs 8 subpars that sound dated and may not really fit in my songs.

Sweet, I'm thinking about doing this with the microkey 37. The 61 is a great deal also, but it doesn't look as convenient/portable. I already have a 49-key controller (normal keys).
