IMO, yes. Maybe less so for DIVA owners. The only bummer about this sample library is it's 741MB, that seems pretty large for just one oscillator.

For sales, yep, couldn't agree more. They packed the entire M1 derived line into a product called the M1 and the wavestation line into WaveStation. This covers their early digital ground completely and it was an intelligent choice for the legions of folks wanting to replace that hardware, or, still interested in that old hardware.

But, there's no getting around that old digital hardware is almost completely outclassed by more modern digital hardare.

while i would say ''hey, not bad for 10 years old plugins!''...
That would be a better, and more honest, thread title. I don't think that any of those plugins are "killing it."

by the way, if by ''outdated'' you mean the presets as well, then i am with you...
With the analog stuff, sure, but really, analogue emulation is all about the quality of the synth components, so there's just not that much you can do with that. They're outdated in terms of their design and they just aren't going to compete.

As far as the digital stuff goes, presets yes, but samples as well, and even more so. Those samples are all small and limited compared to today's multi-layered/multi-megabyte samples. There's not much you can do to make that M1 Piano sound modern with the limited synth engine of the M1.

shuuuuuuuuut uuuuuup, dude.
Any synth using 16bit 4mb sample rom samples or 32bit 500gb samples will sound as dated as your ability to program it and your mixing/mastering skills.

Dude, it is like a year ago they discussed that, hopefully things have cooled down since then

+1 I like Particle Sound stuff.

But think I will pass on this newbie, I'm out of HDD space, and Korg already got this nailed.

Would be a miracle if Korg fix that... But I highly doubt.

And I hate that they don't add more emulations to this collection.

It's way too wide, IMHO.

Only if the modular patchbay section would be below the knobbed section, rather than to the right of it. That might be workable. This extra-wide view, I don't think it would work as well.

Why not? Most people have a 16:9 or 16:10 screen; and thus more horizontal space than vertical.

Gotta think about the people on laptops with low resolution and/or small displays too though. That GUI is way over the top. Actually the mistake Korg made was to offer a scrollable GUI in the first place. Maybe open the patch bay in a new window, but scrollable is just very bad.

Would work great on my new LG 34UM95-P.
