EP-1 MDS Electric Piano
New technology, classic sounds
The EP-1 provides incredible recreations of six classic tine
and reed electric pianos, along with modeled vintage effects.
Based on Korg's Multi-Dimensional Synthesis (MDS), the
EP-1 delivers natural real-time expression without the
limitations of ordinary sample playback. For instance, you'll
appreciate the natural decay and astonishingly smooth
gradation of dynamics from pp to ff, without tell-tale split
points - just like the real instruments.
RT control over noise elements, including mechanical key-
off noises controlled by release velocity, gives your
performances even greater realism and detail.
CX-3 Tonewheel Organ
Modeled organ with drawbar control
Based on Korg's ground-breaking CX-3 keyboard (with
additional refinements), the CX-3 is a detailed tone-wheel
organ model with live drawbar control,
Perfect tone-wheel phase coherency means solid, powerful
sounding chords just like the real thing. A choice of tone
wheel types, adjustable overtones, leakage, noise, and key-
click modeling provide unparalleled realism.
Amp modeling, Vibrato/Chorus, and Rotary Speaker effects
are built in. EX mode lets you introduce additional drawbar
and percussion harmonics, for new timbres unavailable on
traditional organs.
AL-1 Analog Modeling Synthesizer
Modern virtual analog synth
The AL-1 is our feature-packed, modern virtual analog
synth. Its patented ultra-low-aliasing oscillators (using
completely different technology than the HD-1) recreate all
the power and glory of true analog synthesis—without the
artifacts that can plague lesser instruments.
Morphing waveforms allow you to change the oscillator
shapes in real-time. Resonance modeling lets you choose
between classic filter sounds, and the extraordinarily flexible
MultiFilter lets you create your own hybrid filter shapes.
Hard sync, analog-style FM, drive, low-boost, and ring
modulation offer plenty of tone-twisting power.
MS-20EX
Patch-panel synth with unique, aggressive tone
A dramatic expansion of Korg's classic MS-20 analog synth,
the MS-20EX puts modular patch cables under your
fingertips. Modulate filters with audio-rate oscillators; turn
audio inputs into control signals; control all of the original
knobs with mod sources including additional envelopes,
LFOs, and RT controllers.
It's a tweaker's dream, but even without the patch panel, the
MS-20EX would make waves with its unique, aggressive
tone—due in large part to its unusual filters, which are
completely different from those in either the AL-1 or the
PolysixEX.
Detailed Program Editing Using EXi
PolysixEX
Rich-sounding, versatile, and easy-to-use synth
With its self-oscillating four-pole filter, smooth analog
oscillator and sub-oscillator, and rich, built-in chorus and
ensemble effects, the PolysixEX proves you don't have to be
fancy in order to be great.
Based on the classic Korg Polysix analog synth, its timbre is
distinctly different from the AL-1 and the MS-20EX, but we
didn't stop there; we added modulation of every control on
the front panel, for a world of sounds impossible on the
original.
It's also very well-suited to hands-on control with Tone
Adjust for almost all of the original Polysix controls. As a
bonus, it's also capable of extremely high polyphony—up to
180 voices!
STR-1 Plucked String
Physical modeling, from the real to the fantastic
Physics has brought us lasers, cell phones, electric cars—and
now the STR-1. What would it sound like to play harmonics
on a metal bar "plucked" by a piano, or to sing into a guitar
string? Play with the STR-1 and discover.
In addition to unique, experimental timbres, the STR-1 is
great for traditional instruments from guitars, basses, harps,
and world/ethnic sounds to clavinets, harpsichords, bells,
and electric pianos.
You can also process samples and live audio input through
the physical model—including audio feedback from any of
the NAUTILUS effects.
MOD-7 Waveshaping VPM Synthesizer
Patch-panel VPM/waveshaping/PCM processor
Combine Variable Phase Modulation (VPM), waveshaping,
ring modulation, samples, and subtractive synthesis with a
modular patch-panel system, and you have the MOD-7.
Exceptionally versatile, it offers everything from classic FM
keyboards, bells and basses (including the ability to import
sounds from vintage DX synths) to rhythmic soundscapes
and sparkling, epic pads.
Vast sample-mangling capabilities, with incredible
flexibility and power, let you create incredibly rich
processing environments: combine multiple stages of
filtering, waveshaping, and ring modulation, even use
samples as FM modulators, all patched together however
you like.
