Put me down for an updated OS please.

As an Oasys owner I won't hold my breath though........

If there were a way to convince Korg to be more respectful of its Kronos customers....
Even if the Kronos is so powerful, some bugs are remaining and many enhancements could be done, based on the present system.

So yes, I do want Korg to be back and involve in its flagship synth. Even if Korg people plan to replace it, many people has got a Kronos and derserve a better attention.

It's my opinion.

Rumors, Greg. I said, "likely."

I'll sign an NDA, if I can work on the prototype. Very Happy

Actually, it's not so much a matter of "perpetual enhancement" than a matter of presence and paying attention toward Kronos' people.

Of course, the Kronos is THE "big one". And many people do wonderful job with it. We all enjoy its capabilities.

Personnaly I don't suffer this kind of "always-something-new syndrom" which seems to be the musical gear tendency, nowadays.

To my opinion, the biggest problem and weakness stands on the absence of dialog, an absolute emptiness coming - or rather not coming - from Korg Teams.

Yet, it would be not too complicated for them to open a special thread in this forum for example, reserved for Korg development team, or directly on the Korg website, where they could inform us about issues, corrections, enhancements. Just for showing us that they have heard us and pay attention to our difficulties.

Some brands are doing that and the customers enjoy it.

Because their name is "Korg", perhaps they beleive the company is the "King" and cannot die. If it's the case, it's a terrible fault. Korg company can actually die if they go on scroning the "poor" customers we are.

So, if someone from Korg team reads this post, I'm saying to you "Show you are considering us : speak to all of us, it's not hard to do. Simply open an official thread here and regularly post news about the most important subjects we are speaking of."

So, what I'm saying can be summarize in one word "CO-MU-NI-CA-TION" !!

First, I apologize if my post yesterday was a bit snippy. Sorry, Greg, and everyone else. I'm kinda grumpy because of a work injury that led to a pinched nerve and I can't play my synths right now -- well, not without considerable pain in my arm. Tough to even type, but I'm managing it.

Second, re communication from Korg. Does anyone else remember somebody saying they wrote a letter or email to the president of Korg Inc. and got an actual reply in return? I recall that... could have been quite a few years ago, and maybe I made it up or misremembered. But if that is true, maybe we can organize a group campaign to address the grievances you folk are having. Polite, considerate, focused and sincere campaign.

Because the few employees that do visit this forum, they're not in charge. They don't get much say in what happens. At best, they can share info they read here up the chain, and maybe that might help sometimes. But if you really want Korg to do better, you're gonna have to aim a lot higher than the designers and typical customer service reps. You gotta aim for the people who are responsible for the company's overall business.

Just a thought... (and I'm not one to organize these things...but maybe some of you are...)

I remember to have been lucky to meet Michel Deuchst some years ago : he was and still is a very helpful, and also a very attentive guy to the suggestions made by people who had bought one of the Korg products.
He is not the only one, and here in this forum, many who are linked professionnaly with Korg help us every day, but sometimes it is very difficult to have the real opportunity and much time to talk to them.

Thank you !

And this is my plan.

If I gather/see a volume of YES, I will correspond with the Korg Japan Board[ CEO, president etc]

Conversely, if Kronos owners are not interested, motivated, what have you, that concludes the effort.

Throughout my life, career, one has to assert what they want, what they believe they deserve.

Getting improvement does not happen automatically. One has to work for it.
