Korg Collection 6

[Guy Rowland]

3 new instruments:

TRINITY - Released in 1995, this breakthrough synthesizer defined KORG in the 1990s. Its sleek silver body, futuristic TouchView GUI (the first synth with touchscreen operation), and exceptionally high-quality, large-scale PCM sound set new standards for synthesizers of its time. Now, on the 30th anniversary of its debut, it has been faithfully recreated in software form.

PS-3300 - Produced for only about five years, from 1977 to 1981, with less than 50 units ever made, this fully polyphonic analog synthesizer remains one of the rarest and most revered instruments in music history. Its massive sound engine equivalent to 144 MS-20s has been meticulously modeled with cutting-edge technology, and further enhanced with expanded contemporary functionality.

SGX-2 - The ultimate premium piano sound engine from KRONOS and NAUTILUS. It captures the tones of the world’s finest concert grand pianos, recorded in full-stereo, loopless samples for every single key. From the natural decay of each note to the organic resonance of chords, every detail reproduces the realism of a true acoustic piano.

And the Trinity

[progger]

For anyone on the fence about this – and yes, I've already expounded at length about it on VIC – the SGX (Kronos piano engine) is absolutely insanely good. KCollection already had a great thing going, I really love a ton of these plugins, but the EP1 and SGX alone make it dangerously competitive with Keyscape, and I find that mind-blowing. I'm a big, big fan at the moment.

Trinity, Triton, M1, and so-forth are, of course, tons of fun too. The "Triton Extreme" has some surprisingly useable orchestral sounds, too – really excellent-sounding strings, for my taste, as well as some really good drums/percussion, and of course keys/synths.
