The ARP 2600, introduced in 1971, revolutionised the Synth design with its unique sound and versatility, influencing genres from jazz and rock to pop and funk. It also became a staple in countless movie soundtracks. KORG has faithfully recreated the ARP 2600, ensuring that its legendary sound is preserved and accessible to today’s producers.
The VOX Super Continental is a combo organ that made its debut in the 1960s and became a hallmark of the British Invasion era. 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.
