For all KORG Legacy users, they are now 64 bit!

And it's a bout freaking time. If you own the 32 bit versions, log in to you account at korguser.net and download the updates.....now if only Drumagog would get off the pot already.....

Thanks. I love the Monopoly synth. 

I upgraded to 64-bit Legacy, but when I insert an MDEX effect, the popup still identifies it as "MDEX (32-bit)". However, the .dll's are in the directory where I installed them, with recent timestamps. Am I using 32-bit or 64-bit MDEX effects?

I have searched my hard drives, and the only version of MDE-X .dll is the one that I presumably installed, with file timestamps from February, 2013. I have reinstalled MDE-X using the 64-bit installer, in an attemp to eliminate the possibility that I had accidentally used the original installer. But Sonar continues to identify MDE-X as a 32-bit plugin.

John I loved the Monopoly. I had most of those synths in real life for a long time. I started with the MS20 and expanded that with the MS50 to form a powerful modular with the step sequencer and vocoder etc. Then later Korg released those later models Monopoly included. You can make some very fat sounds by putting those oscillators into unison and stuff and detune them etc. It's got a lovely layout too enabling you to experiment with the sound. I loved the front panel on it.

I have heard the MS20 clones are fantastic too. I don't have the monopoly plugin although reading about you liking it has reminded me of it again. I think Korg are good people to model their own gear. They seemed to have done it well. I know that the Wavestation sounds amazing as the plugin. I had the real deal too and the plugin is a monster. It is a killer synth still now.

I have a real M1 and it is amazing how great it sounds. It can be released form its 80's/90 sound very easily. Just edit the reverbs and the chorus they often drowned the presets in and add a modern day effects processor and you have a completely different sounding animal. The M1 and the Roland JD800 have got lovely synth keyboard actions too. M1 being one of the best and nicest to play.

Korg synth fan here, too.   I had the MS10, Polysix and Monopoly.  Something about the "Korg sound" always worked for me...
 
 
Edit: Oh... and the Poly-800 too.  I had to look that one up because I couldn't even remember the name!

The plug-in manager's VST scanner will not rescan existing plug-ins unless the option to rescan existing plug-ins is checked (set ON); normally this option is set to OFF (unchecked).

So if you installed the 64bit plug-in version into the same folder as the previous 32 plug-in and the dll file name is the same - the plug-in manager will not update the plug-in information (because it doesn't know things have changed) and Sonar will treat the plug-in as if it was 32 bit. The same type of problem can happen if you replace a 64 bit with a 32 bit plug-in.
As an alternative to rescaning ALL existing plug-ins (which can be a major pain) if you 'hide' the plug-ins (rename the extensions to something other than DLL) rescan, then fix the extension names back and rescan again - that should cause the plug-in scanner to blow out and then reload the plug-in data and fix the problem.

I ran into the same issue just last week when I was cleaning up my plug-in folders. I try to keep my 32 & 64 plug-ins separate and had some plug-ins cross-swapped.  

For those who use MenuMagic the next update will have an option fix this particular issue without having to rescan your existing plug-ins.

The keyboard on the M1 was the same as the DX7, both made by Yamaha, both excellent synths to play live.

M1, T3, O1/W, Motif XS all use the same keybed.
Nice/quick action...
