Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2011 9:14 pm Post subject: Question about these (fantastic) videos from RichF...... |
|
|
With the fact that the Piano vid is the first of potentially 9 videos on the synthesis engines, is this a request from Korg to Rich to "keep the public sweet", whilst waiting for a machine that either isn't ready, or something more sinister (such as financial)......
A great video Rich, and thanks for producing it, but it does sound like a stalling tactic from Korg.........
That and the fact that a price for EU hasn't been published yet........
It does make you wonder..... _________________ Yamaha SY77 & KX88, SSL Nucleus, Korg Kronos 61, Wavestation A/D, Access Virus B, Roland XP30, DeepMind12D, System 1m, V-Synth XT, Focusrite Red16Line, Unitor 8, Akai S3000 XL, Alesis Quadraverb+, Focal Shape Twins, Full fat iMac, Logic Pro X, ProTools 2021, loadsa plugins.

To be a pedantic, doesn't Rich work for KorgUSA rather than Korg Corporate? If videos were being produced as a stalling tactic, surely they'd be Japnese. |

True, but then again, the release date and price has still to be confirmed in the US.....
Apologies to Rich if any confusion has been caused.... _________________ Yamaha SY77 & KX88, SSL Nucleus, Korg Kronos 61, Wavestation A/D, Access Virus B, Roland XP30, DeepMind12D, System 1m, V-Synth XT, Focusrite Red16Line, Unitor 8, Akai S3000 XL, Alesis Quadraverb+, Focal Shape Twins, Full fat iMac, Logic Pro X, ProTools 2021, loadsa plugins.

Even more poignant is the fact then that there has been NO response from Korg UK at all...... _________________ Yamaha SY77 & KX88, SSL Nucleus, Korg Kronos 61, Wavestation A/D, Access Virus B, Roland XP30, DeepMind12D, System 1m, V-Synth XT, Focusrite Red16Line, Unitor 8, Akai S3000 XL, Alesis Quadraverb+, Focal Shape Twins, Full fat iMac, Logic Pro X, ProTools 2021, loadsa plugins.

I am surely irritated a lot about Korg's European information politics, but I don't think it would be fair to regard Rick's great video work as part of any kind of tactics.
It is completely normal for any company to produce info material, and in our times videos as well, in the time between announcement and release.
Thanks Rick, for providing that stuff!
Really looking forward to the next videos. |

Don't get me wrong - the video is brilliant and A1 efforts from Rich!
but the aspect of your comment I've quoted above.... is there time between announcement and release for another 8 synth engine videos (not to metion Karma 3.0, the sequencer etc etc)
Could be waiting a long time (albeit with lovely videos!! ) _________________ Yamaha SY77 & KX88, SSL Nucleus, Korg Kronos 61, Wavestation A/D, Access Virus B, Roland XP30, DeepMind12D, System 1m, V-Synth XT, Focusrite Red16Line, Unitor 8, Akai S3000 XL, Alesis Quadraverb+, Focal Shape Twins, Full fat iMac, Logic Pro X, ProTools 2021, loadsa plugins.

Beginning to post such videos says nothing about release time: in this case they could just go on after release.
I'm not sure though, how much time both sides will need |

Hi guys,
The "In The Studio" videos are meant to be informational resources for owners and would-be owners. I shoot them knowing that they'll still be viewed long after Kronos has shipped. Whether folks buy it new or used, now or later, they will invariably want more info about what it can do both before AND after they pick one up. I'd always planned on making a video for each of the synthesis engines (and hopefully more after that). Of course, it's in our best interest to keep the momentum high until we can get Kronos into our customers' hands. FYI, though, I'd still be making these videos if it was already in stores.
Also, pricing is definitely available here in the USA (and yes, I'm a Korg USA employee). It's inappropriate for me to post it, but you can inquire at any Korg-authorized dealer, either in person or online.
And ScoobyDoo555, no offense taken.
Thanks,
-Rich _________________ Richard Formidoni |

In that case it's just a staggered worldwide release - and Korg UK are keeping VERY quiet about when it's going to be put out there.
Shame.
And keep up the good work Rich!!

I got news for you. They'll be here, when they get here, and no a moment before.
Keep this whinning up and "NO KRONOS FOR YOU!"
I don't think any Japan Company needs a stalling tactic, they got plenty already, like a nation wide disaster. |

That's not news - it's history, and better people than you have failed at chastising me over my comments
What I'm getting at is that regardless of the terrible situation in Japan, the US seem to have more information about everything than the rest of the world.
It would be nice if we were all addressed on a level playing field.
If someone from Korg UK or Europe came on here (or at Musicmesse) and said,"As you know, we're experiencing a terrible tragedy and our logistics (aside from everything else) are shot. As a result, the products are looking to be delayed for a few months, bear with us".....
I don't think there would be a single person who would complain (me included!).
My issue is that with any business, if you keep the customer informed, you'll usually keep them.
That is all I'm getting at. _________________ Yamaha SY77 & KX88, SSL Nucleus, Korg Kronos 61, Wavestation A/D, Access Virus B, Roland XP30, DeepMind12D, System 1m, V-Synth XT, Focusrite Red16Line, Unitor 8, Akai S3000 XL, Alesis Quadraverb+, Focal Shape Twins, Full fat iMac, Logic Pro X, ProTools 2021, loadsa plugins.

Any news when we can expect in depth videos on:
STR-1
Mod-7
and
the analogue synths?
These are the ones I really want to know about!
I guess a good Karma vid from Stephen would be pretty useful since I have no experience in that yet. |

Check the OASYS videos on Karma Lab( http://www.karma-lab.com/vp/vp_main.html ), Kronos will have the same Karma version and implementation _________________ Korg Kronos 61
