Korg Collection 5

[Roman Wisniak]

Quite possible. Especially, both are partially covered by Prophecy and MicroKORG.

Radias makes microKORG sound like a bad joke IMO

Sure as it was younger and more developed and premium product

There's a sale right now - so I'm wondering: what's the deal with the "Prophecy" - is it actually really a Z1 in full glory and they just gave it the more popular name or not quite?

[jens]

I just had a look at the manual - it's really just a polyphonic Prophecy - that's a real bummer - what a missed chance.

[__K__]

the Z1 offers four new oscillator models, the additions being the Resonance oscillator, Organ model, Electric Piano model, and Bowed String model

[EvilDragon]

And lacks the dual waveshapers that Prophecy has. So it giveth some, and taketh some away.

As such I don't think the Prophecy plugin is a missed opportunity. It's a stepping stone instead, the way I see it.

Is the microKORG VST a 1:1 reproduction of the hardware? Sounds the same?

Sounds EXACTLY the same to me based on some specific patches I used back in the day. I'm sure there are minor, minor differences due to DA conversion/analog components, but for all intents and purposes, it's basically spot on.

i love it

Huh, I didn't know that about the Z1! From my experience with the Prophecy, I feel like the dual waveshapers do a lot of heavy lifting for me when it comes to shaping and enhancing the Prophecy's sounds, especially the physical modelling stuff.

This means which patches are exclusive to Z1 and Prophecy? Why weren't Prophecy and Z1 released together?

None of them are even Korg.

Well that is disappointing along with the nothing new with Roland Cloud.

Korg bought Vox in 1991. I thought they also owned the ARP brand.

Korg may own these companies but I am disappointed that Korg didn't emulate more of their own synths. Plus Arturia has already done these. I am sure the Arp 2600 will be a good emulation but if you already own Cherry Audio's version as well as the current Arturia collection this is a pretty disappointing update.

[zvenx]

And i guess that is the thing.. You can't please everyone.
I personally am looking forward to this the most, more than any of their 'own' stuff.
And I don't think Arturia's old Arp 2600 or Cherry Audio will be able to compete with a Korg Arp 2600 2024 edition.
