Reid Rosefelt Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Until August 31st. On Sale... - KORG Gadget 2 series - KORG Collection for Mac/Win - All KORG’s iOS / Android music apps FYI, the Windows Gadget 2 Plugins finally includes all the gadgets, but they still don't have NKS or AAX. Still, over 40 gadgets for $149 is a pretty good deal. There are some new Gadgets: Edina (Taito Arcade Synth), Otorii (Sega 16-bit Drum Machine), and Warszawa (Korg Electribe Wave) I decided to pick up M1 for $24.99, because the M1 Gadget, Darwin, doesn't allow Combis and doesn't allow you to make your own patches. Maybe I'll get Gadget when it has NKS. Get the Korg deals HERE 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 The Korg collection really needs to enlarge the GUI. They look small on a 40 inch screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't think they ever will. They seem to be putting their energy into Gadget. It is weird that my M1 on my iPad is so much bigger than my M1 on my desktop. Also, the GUI on the iPad is nicer. I'm probably going to go for the Gadget plugins for PC. I sure hope they have an expandable GUI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 picked this up - as I already had M1le legacycell crashes cubase on load had to wrap the 32 bit version with Jbridge to make it work - looks a bit like abandonware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I didn't buy Legacy. M1 opened up fine in Cubase. As it should, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Legacy Cell stand-alone works fine. But it won't load in StudioOne. Did you install the 32-bit version of Legacy Cell and then use Jbridge to load it in Cubase?

Reid Rosefelt Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 As this deal ends in a few days, I broke down and bought the Gadget plugins for PC, even though I was trying to wait for them to implement NKS. Hopefully they won't charge me when they do. Having messed around with Gadget since it came out on the iPad, it is so nice to have the gadgets in my DAW. I got them for the same reason that I'm getting Reason 11. These virtual instruments are necessarily better than the stuff I have, but they are so familiar. I can jump into using them. Gadgets are so simple. And the GUI on Gadget is so much better than the Korg Collection stuff. It's what the Korg collection should be. I realize that the Gadgets aren't the same as the Korg Collection. You can't do combis or make new patches on the M1 Gadget, Darwin. But that can be a plus as well as a minus. I'm very happy I got it, and NKS will just make them better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you don't know (I didn't until this evening), when logged in to the Korg site there's an area in the registered products section that allows someone who owns the collection to download a broad set of expansion packs (that are not listed in the main section where one downloads the product installers). There are quite a few expansions there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my account there was a link to bonus material - basically various presets for the plugs (fxb and .all) there were some m1 ones - have a look on the download page and see if it’s there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawajava Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 When I log into Korg ID, then go to Registered Products, then I see the Korg Collection installers. At the bottom is a link to Bonus Program. Inside there I see 21 Expansion Packs. Simon - I'm still having difficulty with Legacy Cell. I only have one installer for it, not a choice of a 64-bit or a 32-bit. I installed it fresh, then put all of its dlls in a folder and ran Jbridge on the folder. Only the MDE-X file resulted in a bridged 64 bit file. Regardless of whether I scanned that from a bridged folder in my VST directory, or by moving the bridged 64 bit dll to the same folder as the rest of the Korg Collection dlls, the Legacy Cell still doesn't come up in the DAW. It works fine as stand-alone. How did you make this work again, maybe with a bit more detail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 the installer seems to install both 32 and 64 bit - on my win10 system the 32 bit are installed in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\KORG\Plug-Ins\VST dunno why ? these are the ones you need to jbridge to 64 bit What I did was create a korg subfolder in one of my normal plugin directories and COPIED all the korg plugins ( and that .dll.settings file) to this directory - I think legacycell might want the other plugs in the same directory which is why I copied the lot. Then I ran the jbridger thing on that folder to create a 64bit file ONLY on the Legacycell.dll. This creates an LegacyCell.64.dll in that directory. let me know if that works....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawajava Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I want to point out some special thanks to Simon who in a PM conversation navigated me through some oblong steps to ultimately get the Korg Collection's special plug called Legacy Cell to work. I now have it working in Cubase Pro 10 - but not in Cakewalk or in Studio One Pro 4.5. Even though my primary is Studio One, this is a big help to have a DAW to at least utilize this module in so that I can transfer sounds and tracks from it back into my intended song(s) in Studio One. Thoughts: 1. The UI of Legacy Cell is passable - really not too bad, at least for retrieving patches 2. The install process for Legacy Cell is beyond abysmal. It truly doesn't exist. But if you have friends, there are secret passages you can sneak through in the dark of the night to potentially get it working. 3. The patch sounds are fantastic! It's definitely worth the effort, especially if you have the Korg Collection already and had given up hope on getting Legacy Cell to work. For Studio One users I have added to a problem inquiry on this subject at this link: https://answers.presonus.com/8100/korg-legacycell-wont-show-up-in-s1-3-x?show=43606#a43606 Thanks again Simon! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
