The best Korg Music Software reviews

    The Korg DS-10 software cartidge made for the Nintendo DS platform is an amazing tool for EDM composers. Obviously there will be no compatability issues since it's made for Nintendo DS and it's a DS cartidge. It's that simple, plug and play. The manual is sufficient to briefly describe the available functions but if you are not familiar or comfortable with synth modeling then the learning curve is as steep as a brick wall. All of the controls are fairly easy to access once you have familiarized yourself with them and the overall workflow. Again, if you are new to synth modeling you would benefit hugely by searching for some online tutorials, perhaps a forum group, or to get a friend who is comfortable with synth to guide and help you along. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE The DS-10 software is plug and play with any Nintendo DS system and it is as stable as it could possibly be. You may encounter some quirks in the programming but I assure you that you'll have to REALLY stretch the limits of the program before any obvious negative effects occur. In other words, if you really know how to work a synth then, yes you can create certain sounds or certain patching situations that may either produce unwanted artifacts or strain the processor inside your DS. I've been using the DS-10 software for about 3 years now and I love it! OVERALL OPINION The Korg DS-10 software is an emulation of the classic Korg MonoSynth, and so much more. This is not a "game" nor a "toy". The DS-10 is an incredibly powerful, in your pocket, music production tool. First off, you get not one but 6 monosynth emulations in one! If you have the DS-i and a copy of the DS-10+ software double that number! The first two synths are changeable in real-time, one knob at a time. The remaining four are for the drum pads and a stored a samples for the pads and are not adjustable in real-time. Again, double these numbers for the DS-10+ ver. used on a DS-i or better. Like any of the classic modeling synths the full scope of sounds that can be created with the DS-10 software is staggering. Drum sounds, horn sounds, string sounds, classic fat distorted synth sounds, ambient sounds, you name it! If you have the skill to create them within the synth and the patience to coax these sounds out of the software there is a nearly unlimited number of sounds you can create. Some of my own creations that I am proud of are an upright bass sound, a vibra-slap, all of my drums, strange echoed distorted guitar etc. An in-depth examination of classic synthesis would be required to truly tell you everything that this software can do, and that would be a book, a big one. Not only do you have these powerful modeling synths at your fingertips or stylus-tip, you also get a pattern based sequencer with 16 patterns per song with variable tempo and time signature; You also get a song mode to arrange these patterns, a virtual mixer, built in effects, and a Kaos Pad!! As I've said the depth of the possibilties with the DS-10 is amazing. Just search around, there are many EDM artists out there making killer tracks using just a DS and the DS-10 software. The overall sound quality is very good. Huge, rediculous bass is attainable and startlingly clear high end sounds are also within reach as well. There is some aliasing and a very small amount of static aparent at times. These are limitations of the DS's capability to handle audio and not the software 95% of the time. Price vs. value, My Goodness!! What you get with this software is absolutely amazing. I could see this fetching 100$+ and would still call it a deal. But, you can get it so much cheaper than that! For the Nintendo DS system there is NOTHING like this, there are alot of really good synth and sequencing programs for PC and MAC, but nothing like this for a portable handheld. Period.

  • « Korg Legacy is a great package »

    The Korg Legacy Collection was easy to install, it did take a while for it to install though. I figure its because it’s a bigger program than most of the other ones that I have installed recently. But after it finally got finished I was able to start using it right away without a manual. I did come back and read through the manual just to understand a few things but I probably wouldn’t haven needed the manual I just got tired of the trial and error stuff (which I tend to do with almost every program and device or equipment that I get) But the manual is cool, not too hard to navigate through and its not a big thick book either. All you have to do is find what you are looking for in the table of contents go right to that page and it will explain everything. All of the basic functions of the Korg Legacy Collection are easy to use and setting it up in my main program was pretty quick and easy. It did take up a lot of my cpu on my laptop though. But my laptop is old and isn’t made to handle a bunch of stuff at the same time. So when I installed it on my quad core it ran great and my cpu was really low as usual. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE Very stable, I havent had any freeze ups with it since I have been using it. I have been using it for a few months now and I love it. Everything seems to run great and is very stable, which is no surprise coming from a company like Korg. OVERALL OPINION Overall, I recommend to get it because its very easy to understand and I love the M1 software synth features. It comes with around 400 or more patches and a ton of effects that even someone who has been producing for a while will appreciate. I have heard you can purchase more plug ins for it? So eventually I will see what all Korg has to offer or I will upgrade when its available. Korg Legacy is great.

    The Korg Legacy Collection Analog Edition 2007 is a virtual synth that emulates the hardware version of a Korg analog synth from the 1980s. It has a number of different emulations within this one synth. I didn't have any problems installing the software and it has always run smoothly on the system that I have used it on. I didn't have any compatibility problems and since installing it I haven't had any problems with anything related to installation or otherwise. The interface of the software is pretty user friendly because everything is laid out so that you can find the typical functions easily. This being said, it will probably take you a little while to learn everything that this software has to offer simply because the features and parameters available are vast. The manual is put together well and is helpful to learn everything about the Korg Legacy Collection Analog Edition 2007 software. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE I am currently running the Korg Legacy Collection Analog Edition 2007 on a Mac Book Pro that has a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I find that I am to run this as a stand alone quite easily with this configuration, but I do notice that this will take up a good amount of processing power, so make sure that your system exceeds the minimum requirements that they recommend to run this software. As long as you have a good system I don't see a reason why you would have problems running the Korg Legacy Collection Analog Edition 2007. OVERALL OPINION I haven't been using the Korg Legacy Collection Analog Edition 2007 for all that long, but I can definitely say that this is a great sounding piece of software that is infinitely powerful. You can get all sorts of synth sounds, all of which are quite realistic. The price isn't expensive at all and for this reason I would highly recommend picking this up especially if you are a fan of the hardware synth that this emulates. If if you aren't familiar with it I think that anyone looking for a good sounding virtual synth should try this out for sure...

  • FP User's review

    The features are absolutely not lacking anything in any way whatsoever, in comparison to the original synths it's even got more features. Price paid 489 euro If you don't already know how to use the original synths you may need to invest some time in that but the standalone and vst interface is really easy to use. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE The sounds are absolutely unbelievable. The Legacy package contains soft synths of the MS-20, Polysix, Wavestation and the Legacy Cell in which you can combine these different synths and their effects. I've played both the original MS-20 and Polysix and I must say I was totally blown away by the accuracy in which these lagendary synths are reproduced. There are even extra options that the original synths didn't have. For instance, the original (monophonic) MS-20 can now be turned into a 32 voice counting polyphonic synth. The same goes for the Polysix. The MS-20 also has it's additional unison unit built in. I've never had any problems with the software besides the fact that you really need a heavy processor to deal with these synths. I've got a Sony VAIO laptop with a 3gHz processor and if I run about 6 of these synths at the same time (about half of them having lots of voices and the other half one or two) you can almost litterally see little heatwaves rising from my beloved computer. OVERALL OPINION I absolutely LOVE the Legacy collection because it brings you back to those good old analogue days. The love factor is increased by the MS-20 controller that you get with the package. If you give it some of your love, you'll get back ten times the love you put in. Originally posted on FutureProducers.com Posted by: Phonophile ( 8-, 2005)
