Cakewalk & Korg NS5R


Glenn Taylor

Recommended Posts

Hello friends. A decade ago I had Korg hardware modules NS5R and NX5R in a rack and used Cakewalk Sonar to control the outputs.

Now I’m using Cakewalk by Bandlab, have sold the Korg ages ago, and I am seeking a software version of those great sounds I used to have. 
 

can anyone point me to a software version please?

There's no N series emulation - I've had both those modules (still got the NX5R), and I sampled mine to use them in the box.

The closest VSTi to the N series is probably the Korg M1 VSTi.  The synth engine is actually better than the N series one, and the sound quality is far better, but it's not got as many multi-samples.

If you like the Korg system, the (virtual) Triton is probably the way to go in 2020. Or if totally retro is your desire, then probably the M1.

I owned  the Korg X2 workstation (released 1993) back in the 90's. AI2 synthesis. Many of the sounds in the X2 are derived from the T3 and 01/W synthesizers. The larger sound ROM includes a 2MB multisampled piano.
