Feature:
The original MS-20 was monphonic. The ability to use this synth with polyphony, detune, analog, stereo, etc... makes it a genuine synth by todays standards. Being able to merge the MS-20 and the Polysix together by using the Legacy Cell engine creates a monster synth. The Legacy Cell is augmented by Korg's powerful VST fx. These fx are so good I use them inside my recording program. The MS-20 midi controller is a cool toy but that is all it really is. I only use it when I am programming patches for the MS-20; it makes it rather convenient to turn actual knobs and plug patch cords rather than clicking and draging the mouse. It would have been nice if they would have designed it with a midi interface; it is USB only.

Quality:
The CMT (Component Modeling Technology) really paid off with this product. These synths sound and act like the real thing. I couldn't be happier with the sound. But I am in love the the phat Korg sound anyway.

Value:
At it's introductory price of $499 it was a little overpriced, but now that it can be obtained for $299 it is a very good deal. I got mine free as an incentive when I purchased my beautiful Korg Triton Extreme.

Desirability:
It is a must have for Korg enthusiasts. A nice blend of vintage and modern sounds.

Sound:
The sound is all Korg! I've used the Wavestation EX at home and when I pluged this in through the same speakers it was true to the real thing with one nice surprise, it was brighter. The reason is because the original hardware version doesn't put out any frequencies above 16,000hz. The resolution on the software version is adjustable making the sound much better. Of course the higher the resolution the more taxing it is on your computer.

Ease of Use:
I'm docking it a point simply because there is a slight learning curve. There are three great synths to learn in this package. Each has it's own characteristics and each has a different look and feel. Each synth is set up with a good number of patches to just click and go so you can try it out but the MS-20 only comes with 32 initial patches. After that, you are on your own. That's ok, because it is the most fun to mess with. This package helps the newbee to synthesizers begin to understand how synths really work. It is almost like taking a trip back in time and getting a feel of what it must have been like when the first synths hit the market.

Support:
They aim to please. Sometimes it takes a bit to get an answer to email but they do answer their phone.

Overall:
I will use this product as long as I have a compatible computer that will run it. It adds to my already wide pallate of synth sounds, especially the vintage sounds. The fact it can be ran as stand alone or VST plugin really helps me with my versatile musical needs.

Feature:
You only need this. You can base your studio on this (I mostly do, actually, and I must say it's really great). With multiple polyphonic MS-20's your studio's complete. You even get effects and the famous MS-20 external signal processing. And, what really lifts your creative side up: an MS-20 controller! You even patch in real time! You get an authentic sound and feel. It
