KORG Collection 5 with ARP 2600 Emulation coming Summer 2024

[Pseudovolt]

@danatkorg ARP 2600 is really great addition to the collection. Please tell me that KORG is going to bring it to perfection by releasing commemorative USB-MIDI-controller of ARP 2600 in the manner of MS-20ic. Manufacturing lines for 2600M already exist and KORG (Legacy) Collection has been around 20 years, so please make it happen.

99 dollars is already "cheap" and a bargain for Collection 4 upgraders for three brand new instruments. I don't know what else to say? The only reason I am not upgrading is that I don't need any of them.

tbh I only really wanted the ARP but the 2 keyboards are OK - the EP covers a lot of different models and is certainly better than the Arturia equivalents (especially the Wurlis), the Organ isn't as good though

All these instruments use a new set of FX that I hope will make their way into an improved MDEx

I have bought it but i cant use it . I used the software pass, registered a new product with my code , and there is always that pop up who ask for authorization , i press : "activate" and "verify" but it says : no licence found.

Same here. I did some digging and found 9 licenses in <User>/Application Support /KORG/Collection/CP/licenses.txt which corresponds to the 9 licenses listed in Korg Software Pass under "Registered Products", including the ARP 2600 (I also have some other collection stuff plus wavestate native and opsix native).

So all the licenses seem to be present in the license file. I also clicked "Refresh" to let KSP rebuild it. But the problem persists.

Could it be that I have been issued a faulty license since the ARP 2600 software does not seem to recognise/accept it?

Same thing here , Found the licence on my computer, deleted everything and re installed everything so i can regenerate the licence but problem persist.

Same problem: licence not found. KSP shows correct registration. I'm on mac - any of you on windows?

I am on both mac and windows.
At some point yesterday I did what I had done several times before, open Korg Software Pass and the Standalone Arp 2600, EP-1 and Vox, and it stopped showing Demo and it was the Full licensed version on both mac and pc...Didn't do anything different than the previous 10+ or so times before when it continued to show DEMO.

Same problem here. It's registered in Korg Software Pass but I can't get the license to actually activate the plugin. Just get the license not found error. I suspect that even though it's registered, there's another "phone home" come activation of the plugin time, and perhaps that's still failing due to the crowdstrike issue. Bummer. But I can wait a few days or whatever.

Some nice touches I'm finding - love the way the signal flow is made visualised in the cables, and support for poly aftertouch is very welcome

Just what is needed, another ARP clone. At least cherry audio think outside of the box "sometimes"

Regarding CPU: I'm finding that these new ones aren't using a lot of resources really, however, Windows Defender is sapping a lot when using them. So I wonder if Windows are seeing them as an untrusted unknown still?

I’m not working on it because I’m pretty sure Freelance will do this as they have Korg covered - probably won’t be long

That's a good observation. I'm noticing when using the 2600 in Ableton very high CPU usage (37%) but if I use it in standalone I use up to 3% tops.
