This keyboard sold in the hundreds of thousands across the world, so as you might imagine, many of the M1 presets have become staples among various electronic genres. The Wavestation is, of course, part of the Digital Edition, which includes a rendition of the M1: Korg’s ever so successful workstation. Analog includes the Polysix, MS-20, the Legacy Cell with MDE-X effects and the new Mono/Poly: an awesome synth that on its own warrants grabbing the Analog Edition 2007.

The Legacy Collection now spans two software packages: the Analog Edition 2007 and the Digital Edition. I’d imagine Korg decided they were giving too much away… KORG’S LEGACY

Sadly it’s now a discontinued product, but at the time the package included the MS-20, PolySix, Wavestation and the Legacy Cell plug-in (for combining patches from both the plugs into one instrument along with Korg’s MDE-X effects). It was a 40th anniversary product for Korg that I’m sure will never achieve the cult status of the original, but it was a pretty cool little controller. The Analog Legacy Collection’s initial run around the block was packaged alongside a hardware controller modelled on the MS-20. The DoncaMatic is certainly not one of them, but the plug-ins I currently have in my hot little computer certainly are: the Korg Legacy Collection, both Analog and Digital variants. Over 40 years of continual innovation has resulted in some classic musical instruments that deserve reincarnation in software. The first Korg device was the Disc Rotary Electric Auto Rhythm machine, but the more popular and more easily pronounced name was the DoncaMatic DA-20. It’s designed and built some real gems since the company’s inception in 1963. Korg is without doubt one of history’s most famous synthesizer manufacturers. Recreations of classic synths don’t come any better than this.
