I'm fed up with waiting. Deciding between Doepfer Dark Energy, or a Blofeld now.

There is a danger in pre-announcing a product to far in advance of a company's ability to deliver it in sufficient quantities if any are delivered at all. It can damage the credibility and profitability of the company. Korg can't keep up with MS20 production and now the Volka series. The Kross is another that's not yet available. Not good signs.

It was the same with the Kronos.

I think people should drop their expectations. The products are for sale when Korg says so...What of it ?
In the end, they're just one more new product in a big sea. They'll get here when they get get here.

WHERE did anyone officially announce an exact release date ? If it was a guy at a trade show who was asked when, then he's cornered & has to give some answer, camera pointing at him and all that. We only see those trade shows via youtube unless anyone went.They are literally 'trade shows' so the fact that dealers take cameras in & then show us the new products is just a bonus & a convenient privilege.We get to see stuff earlier than intended in this age.

Really though the picture is a bigger one. Korg might work toward a time target but business is business & priority is finances.
They'll ship at the most financially convenient time just like any other shipment. Wink

There is something to be said for Apple's way of saying nothing at all until about two weeks before the product is available. Gets people buying their crap before they had time to think about how they really don't need it that much after all.

As I wrote from my iPad.

I just checked Thomann and they have it listed for the 02nd of September.
Can't help feel a little disappointed by that.

Regards
Sharp.

Yip, they are defiantly out in Japan just got back from a tour with the whole set.

BUT they were hard to find!

I brought them in three different cities and it was always the last one in stock, if they had any left at all.

…. I do think they’re worth the wait though!!!

Exceeded any expectations I had that’s for sure!

What really irks me is that Korg have 'introduced' us to the Volca family with their Youtube videos....... but despite being introduced- we don't actually get to meet them! Where is the etiquette there?

I think nearly every store already sold out...
It was beginning of september here in NL and that was the latest release date on the list as far as I knew... Germany had them earlier, and now suddenly it's pushed back. Here as well they have been pushed back for a couple of weeks, but that's not because they will arrive later but because they were already sold out by pre-orders about a month ago...

So many people are a little upset with Korg and I'm wondering if it's not just the massive hype...

Btw, somebody's already planning on doing an entire album with them Razz

curious how it will sound... After watching every single demo on YT I'd say the Volca's are up to the job Razz
