Dense is a vintage virtual analog oscillator plugin for KORG prologue, minilogue xd and NTS-1. Its foundation consists of four separate oscillators with saw, square, triangle waveforms – generated using a technique often used in the early virtual analog synthesizers. In addition to mutual detuning, each oscillator has its own random pitch drift LFO, and global pitch can also be slightly off on every key press – together, these features simulate tuning instabilities and per-voice discrepancies in old analog synthesizers, going from very subtle to “badly needs calibration”. Dense includes a total of 50 sound source configurations with different settings for the individual oscillator parameters such as waveform, coarse tune, output level, as well as optional ring modulation or bit depth reduction for an even wider sonic palette. To add final polish, there’s a one-pole high-pass filter and an additional sine LFO for vibrato. Thanks to the various fluctuations and dynamic interactions happening between the oscillators, as well as between the oscillators and the synthesizer’s filter, Dense can produce beautiful vintage-style sounds that are full of life and organic movement.

Before You Start ⚠️
In order for oscillator plugins and supplied presets to function correctly, you must make sure that your Korg synthesizer has the latest available firmware update and that after installing it you also perform the panel update and voice update procedures.
If you install the firmware update but do not complete the panel and the voice updates, this can negatively affect other aspects of your instrument’s operation, not just compatibility with third-party plugins. When you power your Korg on, the main screen will warn you if such additional updates are required. Please refer to your Korg product's user manual for how to check the firmware version installed on your synthesizer - and visit www.korg.com to download the latest version. The download package will also contain the instructions for doing the panel and voice updates.
Plugin Installation
1. Download the .zip file from within your Plugin Boutique User Account > Double-click it to extract the contents.
2. Connect your Korg synthesizer to your computer via MIDI or USB-MIDI and launch the Librarian app.
3. While in the USER OSCILLATORS tab, drag and drop the Bent plugin file into an available slot.
Important Note: For the supplied presets to work, Bent needs to be placed in the #2 user oscillator slot.
4. Press the SEND ALL button in the USER OSC/FX toolbar section.
Patch Installation
1. Connect your Korg synthesizer to your computer via MIDI or USB-MIDI and launch the Librarian app.
2. While in the PROGRAM tab, click to highlight the location into which you want to load the patch.
3. Drag and drop the patch file onto the highlighted location.
4. Press the SEND ALL button in the PROGRAMS toolbar section.
Your Korg Multi Engine Plugin and Patches are now installed and ready to use within your Korg Synthesizer.
