Korg Legacy Collection

The Korg Collection 2 (Formerly Known as the Korg Legacy Collection and then simply the Korg Collection) is a collection of VST instruments from Korg and was released in 2004 with updates and more Synths added over time.[1] The original 2004 release consists of the Korg MS-20, Korg Polysix and Korg Wavestation, and LegacyCell, a VST which layers combinations of any of the past 3 synths mentioned. In 2007, they added the Korg Mono/Poly, Korg M1, and Korg MDE-X Multi FX processor. On December 21st, 2017 the ARP Odyssey was made into a VST and added to the collection, and the Korg Triton was added on for Christmas 2019. All of these synths were revamped in the spring of 2020 and renamed, collectively, the Korg Collection 2.

They use Korg's proprietary CMT (Component Modeling Technology) to emulate the original hardware. The Legacy collection is compatible with ASIO RTAS VST[2] and stand alone so it can be used without a DAW. It is compatible with both the PC and Mac and the software was originally supplied on CD-ROM[3] but can now be downloaded via Korg's online store.
