Will there be an Easter egg in Kronos, I mean a hidden function like the Pong game in the K2000/K2500/K2600 ?

LOL - I've seen it all now! Laughing

A workstation AND a Playstation Laughing

Maybe that's what the OASYS' mysterious Function button was for... Wink

MPC easter egg. Pong...

ozy · Guest

yeah, yeah, right...

but I want that on my cell phone.

I want my cell phone to run a virtual version of Kronos,

with a tiny emulation of its screen,

and a tiny simulation of a 1980 videogame running on it.

Korg entertains you with quality sounds and quality features. If you need to play pong on it to be truly entertained, you need a better keyboard.

I'd be pissed if I found out that the KRONOS was delayed a couple months because the "pong" game wasn't working right. I also don't want a bloated OS or programmers wasting time on anything other than the best OS possible. Adding Pong or some other cheesy easter egg adds overhead to the OS which I find ridiculous.

And for the record, as a programmer and an IT professional, I've hated easter eggs since I found out how much bloat it adds to the app. Microsoft adding a flight simulator to Excel is a great example. The software was HUGE because of it and had bugs that went un-fixed but they had time to include a stupid flight simulator.

Wow, tremendous overhead, f*ck*ng PONG. It ran on what, 32 kB of RAM (less?), 8-bit CPU? Wow. BLOAT! LOL. Laughing

Also, several months? PONG can be coded in a few hours. Or less. Rolling Eyes

No, I mean a hedgehog.

I already own a moose, I'd like an hedgehog as well, this time from Korg.

I'd give it to my wife, she would be endeared,

and she would not kill me for buying the Kronos.

All this looks strictly logical to me. Rolling Eyes

By the way, at 4 grands I think I'd deserve some lousy gadget, right.

Alesis used to include bumper stickers with their gear.

Why not a usb key or a t-shirt?
