It continued to influence the ska and new wave scenes of the 70s and 80s. KORG’s meticulous modelling brings this classic instrument to Mac/PC, allowing musicians to harness its distinctive tones.
The EP-1 models electric pianos that first appeared in the 1960s, beloved in genres like soul, jazz, and pop. This plugin is based on the Multi-Dimensional Synthesis (MDS) technology developed for Korg’s renowned KRONOS and NAUTILUS synthesisers, ensuring high-fidelity sound reproduction.
