    Description

    Need to revitalize your Korg X2/X3?  This is a 2 disk collection including original factory sounds and TWO new sound  collections.   It includes original Factory reload internal sounds for all Programs and Combinations as well as the original sequence demo.
    As a bonus I'll include a second disk with TWO great new collections.
    This disk has TWO very usable PCG sound collections that will make your Korg X2 or X3 come alive!
    ROCK COLLECTION: The first sound collection is an alternate set of sounds that contains complete  new A & B banks for both programs and combinations  ( 200 new programs and  200 new combinations)  professionally developed shortly after the X2/X3 debut.   Its got a good broad selection of pianos, EPs, synth pads, basses, synth solos, organs, strings, brass, orchestral and some cool sweeps and effects.
    VINTAGE COLLECTION: The 2nd sound collection is what I've painstakingly put together myself after scouring the internet and previewing over 35 different internet available KORG X2/X3 libraries.     I've mixed and matched the best sounds I could find from all over and then I created a bunch of new very usable sounds and compiled it into one killer VINTAGE collection.
    I  play classic rock (ie 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s)  and also play worship at church so I wanted to custom make a unique collection that had a ton of  great organ sounds (I've created my top 25-ish in the COMBI section but many, many more to choose from in the program section).  The KORG really can do excellent Hammond B3 organ sounds when the patch is created well.  In fact KORG's X3/X2 borrows many of the organ sound building blocks used by their popular CX3 which is still considered one of the best B3 emulations today.
    My other big love is rich, fat analog string pads. I played my newest string pad for my band's lead guitarist the other day and he swears it sounds exactly like INXS.  I've also included a broad range of electric piano sounds, brass, bells and a variety of  airy and breathy pads with some movement and sparkle.   I've set up most of the B3 patches to trigger the leslie speed on aftertouch which is great as you don't have to reach over to the joystick or stomp around on a pedal...really expressive!   I'm also really proud of my van halen 'jump' patch which captures that tight brass/synth sound.  I also put together a hot horn patch that I use for Superstition (stevie wonder) and other motown faves that is excellent.  (I've actually had keyboard players come up during a break at  my gigs wondering how I got such a good horn patch and what keyboard I used?  They are surprised to hear I'm getting it from my trusty old X3!)
    This 2nd  full, personally created sound collection (another 200 COMBIS, 200 PROGs)   is what I keep loaded in my Korg to gig at clubs and church.   Its really surprising how well this Korg holds up against much more expensive, newer synths when you have a top quality set of patches loaded.  The organs, strings and brass really have that rich analog sound that is missing on some of the newer synths.  (funny too as I've played/owned KORG  M1, Kronos, X50 etc  and to me they sound thinner......they lost something along the way..that the KORG X2/X3 has.)  Here's a quick video that goes through some of the sounds I've made for the custom vintage collection:

    These 3.5 Disks are compatible with  the X2,  X3 .and X3R.  Not only are you getting great sounds but you are getting two double density 3.5" disks to save and manage your sounds.  These disks are getting harder to find now a days.
    Disks are new/old stock formatted for the Korg X2/X3 and ready to load.
