What KORG Collection is

KORG Collection 6 is a suite of software instruments that recreates the sound and behavior of KORG synthesizers. It contains 21 plugins covering synthesizers, workstations, a piano engine, an organ, an electric piano, effects and a rhythm machine. The collection works as a standalone product and as AU, VST3 and AAX plugins in Mac and Windows production environments. KORG lists compatibility with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, GarageBand, Cubase Pro, Studio One, Digital Performer, FL Studio, Reason and Pro Tools, plus Reaper on Windows. Included sounds draw on expansion cards and libraries for the M1, WAVESTATION, TRITON and TRINITY. Other features include effects, virtual patch support, a sound-program browser and polyphonic versions of some originally monophonic synths. KORG says Component Modeling Technology is used to model analog instruments including the PS-3300, ARP 2600 and MS-20. Requirements include macOS 12 Monterey or newer or Windows 11 or newer, an Intel Core i5 or better, 8 GB RAM, 25 GB free storage and an internet connection. The purchase price is $399.00; Splice Rent-To-Own is $15.99 per month for 25 months and offers a three-day free trial.
