NI Pro-53 where the very first version called "Pro-Five" seemed to be from around 2000 and one of the first VST plugins.fluffy_little_something wrote:Both of Tal's commercial synths.
By the way, who started that whole software emulation thing? Was it Korg themselves? Or what was the first accurate emulation? (Not SynthEdit synths, mind you, their emulation accuracy usually ended at the GUI )
The very first version of Waldorf PPG Wave 2.V seemed to be released around 2000/2001 too.
First version of the Waldorf Edition that also included Attack and D-Pole was released around 2003.
All those plugins still work nicely within Waldorf Edition 2 and are available in all plugin formats and also with NKS support now. Even if i normally prefer using PPG Wave 3.V i still like to use PPG 2.V too. One of the last updates of Waldorf Edition 2 includes a 64 patches bank from myself including the coresponding NKS preset files.
Arturia Minimoog V seemed to be one of the first analog emulations too, same with the first Korg plugins (both around 2004).
