Maybe I missed some crucial point abut just thinking about the ram upgrade and why its not available right now as Korg dealer task?

Surely there is no ram module shortage.

I'd do it myself id it did not void the warranty.

It will be supported officially when the OS update is released in October.

I was told by Korg that if you install the upgrade before the OS update you will void your warranty.

Unfortunately I did not ask the question if we can do it ourselves after the OS update. I HOPE we can. In my city, it will cost 85.00 JUST to have them LOOK at it, plus the RAM - which you KNOW they will inflate the price - PLUS the labor.

So here's hoping Korg WILL allow users to at LEAST do their own RAM upgrade! I REALLY need that extra 2 GB of RAM as I believe many of us do. I do not "get" Korg's decision to put only 2GB in an instrument MEANT for sound creation. And to top it off, you void your warranty at this point if you DO upgrade the RAM. I have a two year warranty on this baby and I will not mess with that.

Side note: Roland have ALWAYS been friendly when it comes to RAM and SRX (for instance) upgrades. On the Fantom X, four screws and you are in and your warranty was NOT void. I BELIEVE it is the same for the G but I do not have one. I know that doing an upgrade for the older XV-88 is also a snap.

My nearest dealer is 130 miles away, so I would rather upgrade myself.

Curious...how do we know what speed memory to purchase? Parity/non-Parity? ECC/Non-ECC. I would think Korg would know best. The Roland Fantom G was VERY sensitive to memory and I assume Korg wants to ensure we get the correct compatible and reliable memory matched to the K.
