Glenn Taylor Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 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?

msmcleod Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 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.
abacab Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited October 1, 2020 by abacab
bjornpdx Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 Probably won't help you but there are websites that sell sampled patches of old synths in NKI or SF2 formats. I've seen them on eBay so I suppose they're legit. amazound.com is one example.
