The KORG Collection accurately reproduces some of the legendary KORG synthesizers used and recognized around the world. Created under the supervision of the original developers and advisors, this collection offers the "real thing" in software form - only available from KORG.

KORG's renowned Component Modeling Technology, CMT, is used to provide a feeling of the organic and unexpected characteristics unique to some of the greatest analog synthesizers ever made. ARP 2600 and MS-20 - these analog keyboards are thoroughly modeled to include the unique characteristics and peculiarities of each synthesizer. The digital synth models are fully loaded with thousands of PCM/sound programs. In addition, the M1 includes the 34 original expansion cards, the WAVESTATION includes the 7 original expansion cards, and the TRITON includes the 8 original expansion boards, all of which used to be sold separately. All of the iconic "sounds" that everyone will recognize are included.

The KORG Collection reproduces the original hardware with specially selected improvements necessary for music production. The collection also features polyphonic versions of what were originally mono synths, impossible in the originals, as well as virtual patch support, high-quality effects, and a convenient browser function that allows you to search through a vast array of sound programs. Another highlight is the easy-to-use graphical user interface designed for fast and intuitive use.

"The plugin I use the most is the TRITON. I have the original hardware as well, and the plugin really reproduces the sound accurately. They've completely captured the punchy mid-range and sharpness of the original's sound."

- Toshiyuki Kishi

"My favorite instruments in the KORG Collection 4 are the TRITON and TRITON Extreme. I have a special attachment to this gear and remember most of the hardware presets from that time."

- Tomoki Hirata

KORG Collection 4 is available for the introductory rate of $15.99/month (for 25 months) via Splice Rent-To-Own, a unique, musician-friendly distribution model that makes world-class production tools more financially accessible. With Rent-to-Own, creators get instant access to creation software and pay off the retail price over time in small monthly installments with no interest.

More likely it reflects price pressure from the recent spate of comparable and in some cases better products Chinese competitors at less than 1/2 the price. M-Vave comes to mind, but there are others.

One way of looking at it is, even if they discontinue it, it doesn't stop functioning. It's unlikely an iOS update will break it (though ... it has happened once before), but even then there's Korg is likely to eventually issue a firmware update like they did last time. They won't want the bad will from the installed base.

The MS-20 was one of Korg's first major successful portable analog monosynths and even today it is still a great little machine! The MS-20 is the big brother to the MS-10. It is an analog two-oscillator monophonic lead and bass synth with hard wired and patchable connections. The hard-wiring can be overridden however, using patch-cords. This type of hard-wired but patchable design was similar to the ARP 2600 of the late seventies. Of course the 2600 was much bigger and better. But the MS-20 offered a lot of flexible control and great sounds at a more affordable price.

In addition to two analog oscillators, the MS-20 featured two resonant VCFs (filters), two VCAs, sample and hold, a noise generator, an assignable mod-wheel and lots of knobs! The VCF (filter) section is capable of high-pass, low-pass, notch and band-reject which is unique and different than your basic lowpass style filter. External sound sources can be routed through the filter section as well. In fact William rbit uses the filter in his MS-20 relentlessly to filter and tweak his samples, beats, delay returns, vocals, etc.

There's also a Pitch-CV converter for triggering sounds from external sources. Aphex Twin makes quite a bit of use of this, feeding the input stage of his MS-20s with drum sounds and other untrackable audio to get the synth to make a wide variety of crunch/squawp/screech noises by mistracking the filters, etc.

As for its sounds, the MS-20 sounds great! It makes a great alternative for Minimoog-seekers. The MS-20 is great for just about any type of analog synth sound you could want! Fat round bass sounds, percussive bass or sounds, noise effects, squiggly-bubbly sounds or sinuous-worm leads are all waiting to be unleashed from inside this classic beast. The MS-20 is not only a great sounding instrument, but a great learning-synth. It is fairly easy and intuitive to operate but in doing so you can learn and understand more about synthesis and signal-flow. It is used by William rbit, Aphex Twin, Hardfloor, Air, SkyLab, Stereolab, Vince Clarke, Astral Projection, Biosphere, Apollo 440, Mr. Oizo, Jimi Tenor, The Prodigy, OMD, Freddy Fresh, Luke Vibert, Einstuerzende Neubauten, Add N to (X), Daft Punk, Coldcut, Die Krupps, Skinny Puppy, Electronic Dream Planet, Jimmy Edgar, Front 242, Front Line Assembly, The Legendary Pink Dots, KMFDM, Severed Heads, Royksopp, The Faint, The Shamen, Jean-Michel Jarre, Soulwax, Ladytron and Portishead.

However, if a supplier dictates to its resellers a specific minimum price that they cannot drop below, or tries to stop them from selling at a reduced price, rival resellers are blocked from competing on price and customers lose out. This practice is known as Resale Price Maintenance (RPM) and is illegal.

It monitored its resellers to make sure they complied with its minimum pricing policy. In order to make sure that resellers kept to these prices, Korg threatened (and sometimes applied) sanctions against those who advertised and sold at lower prices. For example, Korg:

As I previously mentioned, the Korg LP-380U has the top of the line pro quality RH3 balanced and piano weighted key action which offers great balanced weighted key movement and response. The Korg RH3 hammer weighted key action (the one that pro players prefer) is one of the main reasons I like Korg digital pianos so much, along with a big, full piano sound through their powerful speaker systems. When it comes to the fundamentals of piano playing it is really about 4 things: key action response and key-weight, piano sound realism, pedaling sustain response, and how it all comes out of the internal speaker system.

The very popular Casio PX870 at $1199 follows right behind it and also offers a lot of great piano sound and options and we have done a review of that model as well. The LP-380U has a special textured finish on its matte black cabinet although it does come in other color finishes such as dark rosewood (a beautiful cabinet color), and matte white. As for the textured matte black color, you can see this better when the key cover is closed flat (see left photo) which gives the LP-380U a contemporary appearance.

Even if you never use an iPad or other external device to tie in for further piano technology in the LP-380U, as I already mentioned, it is still a fairly impressive piano with regard to its key action, piano sound, pedaling response, and internal speaker system for its price. Korg also produces some more home digital pianos with even better internal piano sounds, more advance internal speaker systems, and other features. Those pianos are called the Korg C1 Air ($1599) and Korg G1 Air.($1999). Check out my reviews of those models and then contact me for more info and lower prices than on the internet for any and all digital pianos.

The Korg LP180 is basically just a repackaged version of the Korg SP280 for the same price, but in a "furniture style" cabinet with less sounds and less powerful internal speaker system. It would have the same key action, dynamic range, and piano sound of the SP280. Although I have not played this model yet, I would give it a low rating because Korg is using the main functionality of the SP280 in the LP180 which I find not to my liking. You would be better off buying a Yamaha or Casio piano in this price range when it come to key action and piano sound realism.

Hi there from Greece. There is a Kurzweil M1 (not the MP10) which I played and found good but the keys feel funny when compared to the Kawai KDP90, the Casio PX-850 ivory and the Korg LP380. I prefer the Roland F130 but it's 200 euros more expensive. The question is: If somebody GAVE YOU FOR FREE the Kawai KDP90, Roland F130, Korg LP380, Casio PX860, Yamaha S51, Kurzweil M1 and (if you know it) the German GEWA DP120, how would you RANK them (meaning first, second, etc)? Thank you and sorry for the provocative question!
