I would at least consider it. Any life sign from Korg regarding their VST line would be welcome.

I am really stupid: I voted wrong

Wow...

I voted "would buy". Actually I would buy if the interface was better than WS.
I had to mention that

I would probably buy any VSTi from korg that is a clone their digital synth line or workstation (e.g: TRINITY, z1/prophecy, N364, Triton).
OR
vsti editor for TRITON or TR-RACK.

or

if they released some VSTi that is completely new (that isn't a clone of hardware.)

I'm really not interested in NANO-series, new Workstations (especially when compared to MOTIF-line or Fantom-G).

looks like KORG isn't making good hardware products for music production anymore (and nothing software), they're more focused now on hobbyists, begginers and Arranger-keyboards.

they haven't even released a sound module since Triton-rack. (except micro-x which is to weak anyway)

I'd be interested in KORG products of their past.I won't deny what kind of influence early KORG synths had on me.We had the Z1,The Z1 was an incredible synth that had a mojo to it,moss technology was nice,and wouldn't mind having it in my arsenal again,in a more modern approach with better routing due to vsti..

Really would love to see Stephen Kay do a Karma Vsti synth that could control hardware and softsynths too though.

I gotta admit though,another trade show's coming up,and we probably won't see anything from them again this year right KORG? At least the synth lovers..

I got a better one, shouldn't they just port the OASYS over to a softsynth and become billionaires again? I mean it's not hard to code what's already digital..

The triton stuff would have a similar effect though.

Honsetly do you think KORG is even in this vsti business anymore?
It's like the entire thing is jumping alive and then they disappeared,so many small companys have made names for themselves while KORG as big as a NAME as they we're just went away in some respects,never understood that.Perhaps they are paying attention somewhere.. :3dthumbs:

By the way the NANO pad controllers would've been a smash hit,if they would've taken advise from a few of us and created those controllers with an easy midi learn,made them as equal quality as the Oasys pads and had an intelligent chord system with presets on them.I have faith they will pick that up when they see their e-mails.

Last thing I bought was one of their Masterkeyboards before they were phased out and "replaced" by the nano series which I find pretty interesting.

The electribes are also cool. Of course that is not all the latest products but Korg has been a lot more interesting than Roland.

Last Roland product I am really interested in would be from the 1980ies.

+1 for a much bigger GUI for KORG WAVESTATION!

Is it only size?

I think one of the best interfaces at the moment would be this:
http://www.futureaudioworkshop.com/circ ... -morphing/ (this is a movie)

I wish Korg would re-design the Wavestation-Interface in a way that takes advantage of the platform (big screen, mouse).

Is the Korg Prophecy a monophonic version of the Z1 like I remember?
