Korg has introduced a major update to Korg Collection, its suite of virtual instruments for Mac & Windows.
KORG Collection 5 is now a software collection of 14 synthesizers, 2 effects processors, and 1 drum machine in total, including the famous MS-20, Mono/Poly, M1, TRITON, microKORG and more.
KORG Collection 5 adds three new virtual instruments, ARP 2600, VOX Super Continental and EP-1:
- ARP 2600 for Mac/PC – based on a legendary synthesizer, introduced in 1971.
- VOX Super Continental for Mac/PC – a carefully modeled virtual instrument, based on the combo organ which first appeared in the 1960s and featured extensively in music from the 1960s British Invasion era through to the ska and new wave scenes in 70s and 80s.
- EP-1 for Mac/PC – This plugin is based on the MDS (Multi-Dimensional Synthesis) technology developed for Korg’s KRONOS and NAUTILUS synthesizers.

It does sound very good. Best version of 2600 software I’ve used yet, better than Arturia or TimewARP, IMO. It might help if you set Settings/Silkscreen to Color instead of Original. It makes it easier to use when the modules are color coded.
Another gem in KORG collection -:)
Yup, arp is very nice, a good addition. Piano and organ sound good as well, but I don’t need them which makes the upgrade 99 usd for just the arp.
From the manual:
“The first version of the vintage 2600 used a white silkscreen over a dark gray panel. We’ve provided this design for those who prefer its simplicity. We’ve also created a new version, with color coding to distinguish four types of modules:
• Red for signal generators
• Blue for signal processors
• Green for modulation sources
• Purple for control modules”
