KSL has close to a gig worth of samples. I wonder if this will be an issue with Kronos' RAM?

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your answer!
I like the orchestral sounds (strings & brass) in the mix!
the choir is also amaizing!

I don't no why Korg ignore the Karo libs???????
one year ago I create a threat with...... Karo samples for streaming please!
no answer from Korg???????

Karo support so much our Oasys with new libs!
hope now they working together with the Kronos, but it's maybe only a dream!

The KSL sounds amazing to me and is a deciding factor for buying a Kronos unless the internal string sounds are this awesome! Highly doubt that tho, seeing as the "amazing string quartet" in one of the movies sounded quite crappy aswell as the bigger orchestra in another of the demo movies.

Anyway, AWESOME JOB Karo, can't belive how a small company like yours can rival the big ones with this exquisite quality!

First post btw, great forum!

Wouldn't it be nice if close working relationship with Korg and the optimization noted above allowed the KARO libraries to be streamed from SSD?

I can dream.

KARO go great stuff, but I won't buy them if they aren't fully supported as an real EXs with streaming from the SSD...

I keep saying Korg should release a SDK to allow great sound designers such Karo and so on, to build, release and sell new EXs for Oasys and Kronos.

Hi guys,
I am aware that karo does great sounds, but still think it's very expensive, yes an orchestra is expensive to rent but it's not just the orchestra sounds that seem excessive, none of the sound banks are. I think it's great that the sounds are being made and I will be purchasing a Kronos for sure but it would be good if there were programmers about supporting korg also like on the motifator site, it have no problem forking out $50 for a good bank of sounds but $100-$400 usd for samples? Get them all and you could of bought another workstation which at least has tangible value...are there any third parties out there supporting korg with sounds like the key fax site on motifator?

Cheers
Scott

Hi Kurt,

I understand somewhat, when producing sounds for the Oasys you have a lot smaller client base therefore you would need to have a hugher price to recoup the cost. Since Kronos was introduced a whole new market has appeared, one which wants the quality without the huge cost. Now you have the opportunity to quadruple + your sales whilst you won't have to outlay a much more as the sounds are already sampled, so I guess thats you're choice but you are cutting yourself out of a whole lot more buyers who are less likely to pay huge prices for samples than say the Oasys community where some might say money is no object. Just my opinio9n anyway.....

Cheers
Scott

Hi Scott,

Sorry but we are not a company like Korg, Roland or Yamaha! KARO are only a 4 man company and we have to split all the cost!
For example, the recording session of the Philharmonic Orchestra Mannheim cost us € 60.000 .- and that is quite a lot of money!
our libraries starts at 79, - €... if our libraries would offer cheaper, we could close the KARO doors! I hope you understand this situation...

Best regards,

Kurt

All 3 are now on Youtube. (Check original post)

€ 60.000 for orchestra studio rental = $83.000 US dollars.. ??

Sorry but, Karo created this for the Oasys & not for the Kronus, so why risk crashing your software or SSD drive paying $483 adding this to your new keyboard?

Korg I bet will release something soon for a reasonable price. They always do!
