Just some thoughts after reading some past posts.

A lot of people are completely new to electronic music, the internet, home recording etc. It's not obvious to everyone that their problem, no matter how "noobish" it is, has an answer that is obtainable just a click away. Many are coming here as a last resort to get some help because they may not understand the manual. Let me say that again.

NOT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THE MANUAL AND SOME LEARN DIFFERENTLY. NOT EVERYONE IS THE SAME. NOT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS HOW FORUMS WORK.

People learn differently. Some by watching, models, and demonstrations. So to get an answer that states, "go read the manual" leads one to believe this forum is really just a fanboy site/snob fest.

So cut the bullshit of making fun of innocent questions of new players and coming down on them for asking. Does it really cause you pain that someone posts a topic in the wrong area? Does it? Does it really hurt that someone asks a question that's been asked a number of times in the past? Maybe if you helped people more instead of being condescending you'd develop a better data base. FFS you go to the trouble to sarcastically tell people about the search function but not post a link?

Haven't you had that bad teacher way back in highschool/college that just says "read the book" if you have a question or accuses you of not paying attention or being otherwise Incompetent?

"Not affiliated with KORG" Well that's damn good for KORG.
Take care.

Sorry if that's been your experience...

Have to say that I've received great help from people here. Those people (and me) believe in helping whilst learning more ourselves.

Nobody here means to annoy you, I'm sure!

I think this forum is just fine. I log in everyday , i've learnt loads and one day might be knowledgeable enough to help other Korg Users.

I'm not interested in smart-arse comments. Ignore it .

Eat Static - Feels the love Applause

I just signed up tonight.
Your post was not THAT offensive to me, but once you started to curse I knew where you were going (leaving).
You just wanted to say a big "FU" to everybody before you left.
You gotta take it as it comes, shrug off the bad stuff and move along through the sludge of the internet to glean the info you're looking for.
I'm a "manual skimmer" myself and learn better hands-on.
But when I need to find something on the internet, I can usually find it.
I will admit that some people have a higher aptitude for all this keyboard stuff. I'm just a mere guitar player. I'm lost on a workstation. But I have a general aptitude for the workings of most new digital instruments. Computers, not so much...but I'm getting there.
The trick is, be adult enough to treat the "read the manual" comments with a positive, joking attitude. Don't let it phase you, keep asking. Never stop asking questions! It's how you learn.
If you get sarcastic answers, it usually means you don't have a firm grasp on what your trying to learn about. Either that, or you're just to immature to convey your thoughts in a friendly knowledgeable manner.
But still, don't give up. Don't run away. Keep trying.
My teachers use to hate me because I asked so many questions during class. I turned out to be one of the smartest kids.
Because I asked! Cool
