Korg satisfies both ends of this spectrum in its different products. The Microkorg 2 is the update of its record-setting best-seller built around "here is a giant preset knob that has sounds organized by genre". You can program a Microkorg and it does have plenty of depth, but the general idea of it is to be a go-to "recall" box for the quintessential synth sounds. While the feature is useful, in some senses it's not terribly important to have a sound be exact, because you're giving a performance to the circumstance. Acoustic instruments react to temperature and humidity and all of that - it worked fine for thousands of years of music. |

I thought you were going to say the Korg Legacy Collection was the "other end". https://www.korg.com/us/products/software/korg_collection/le...
It's basically every synth Korg ever made up to around 2005 (about 20 in all) as software plug-ins capable of playing the original presets and patches. It even includes all the presets and optional patch library cards and expansions Korg ever offered for each (often worth more than the synth itself).
Some of the greatest albums of all time (and several of my personal favorites) were primarily made with these. And they take zero space, need no maintenance and patch instantly into all my other gear with no ground loops, sampling hiss or MIDI timing issues.
