Re: MOSS.. The info (about the late engineer) was from the head of Korg USA back then. So it's true - unless he lied, in public, multiple times Some confusion also comes from the algos being developed at (US based) Korg R&D. They then handed them off to Japan to implement the OS and run on whatever DSP etc. That's why there's a seeming contradiction between them being able to update the algos whilst claiming the Z1/MOSS was a dead end.
In terms of an emulation - that would need to be based off the Z1 / MOSS code rather than the raw algos which, by themselves, probably wouldn't hold up that well today. Korg updated most of them, though apparently a few (like the Brass algo) weren't considered worth the trouble..
It was also said the Z1 / MOSS source code was poorly documented - making any updates / conversion "difficult" without the original coder to make sense of it all. We have no way to know how true that is, though I think many of us got the sense there's something more to the story..
There were potentially two other factors in play though.. 1) R&D considered the Z1 inferior "early efforts" that are superseded by their later work (thus a "why bother" attitude.. ). 2) Some of Korg maybe didn't want to touch the code out of respect for the memory of the late engineer. Though I couldn't think of a better way to show your respect than to have some of their code live on in virtual form..

What a disappointment! This is for just a nostalgic reason! How that is better than nowadays synths and instruments?!
Pffff! I really was hoping for an upgrade for the GUI of the current synths. At least get rid of that scrolling in MS-20

Appears to implement full combi functionality and has all the EXB's included. Will need to check for caveats later, but this is pretty great and a rather stark contrast to Roland's way of doing stuff with their XV-5080 and splitting everything off into different plugins etc.
They've got a new license manager too, which is a bit nicer than the old "just launch the browser" registration previously

Plus the fact that you can buy it once and own it for life instead of dealing with renting bullshit makes it 1000x better deal than roland's vstis catalog.

4000 sounds....that will keep you busy!
I’m tempted for old time sake as I used to own a Triton and it was a really big purchase for me at the time.
