Native Instruments' flagship production bundle. The headline is the return of Absynth 6. The rest of the upgrade is murkier, with the best new instruments locked behind Collector's Edition.
Korg Collection 6 is a bundle of classic Korg instrument recreations, adding TRINITY, PS-3300, and SGX-2 piano alongside the series' historic lineup.
Score verdict
On the Dubspot Score, Korg Collection 6 comes out ahead (8.4). That said, the right pick depends on your workflow and budget — read both reviews before deciding.
