While ‘legacy’ has been dropped from the name over the years, this is still very much about celebrating Korg’s heritage. Korg’s Collection is one of the oldest synth bundles out there, having started life as the Legacy Collection back in 2004. It’s also a shame that Arturia’s original synth plugin, Pigments, isn’t included, as this would balance the collection out with a touch of modernity.

The bundle also comes with Arturia’s Analog Lab plugin, which is effectively a ‘best of,’ offering simple, user-friendly access to staple sounds drawn from across the collection.Īs for downsides, while the V Collection has previously dabbled in drums, there’s nothing percussive here in version 8. There are a good few leftfield and creative choices, too, such as the Buchla Music Easel, Synclavier and a full Moog Modular system, plus a solid crop of electric pianos and organs.Īll of Arturia’s plugins share some nice design touches, including hideable ‘advanced’ views and interactive tutorials, and they often add additional features such as effects or sequencers. You get staple classics such as the Minimoog Model D, Roland Junos and Jupiters, Yamaha DX7 and several Oberheim synths. There’s an impressive breadth to the selection here. It packs in 28 individual plugins, each of which is a carefully-created - although largely unofficial - emulation of some hardware instrument plucked from the past 50-odd years of music technology. Strictly focused on emulating vintage gearĪrturia’s V Collection is one of the best-known synth collections on the market.
