Serial number is attached to the mechanical hardware. Public ID is attached to the internals. Certain service procedures might separate the two. It's best to have both. Why do you need serial number of my Kronos to sell me libraries? Registration is required for several reasons. Paramount to this ...

Can you give an example or define the better way, before starting to offend Korg? There are million better ways. For example: Require no registartion for anything that's already free. For paid products, tie them to public ID so they are not copyable, and just make a field to enter public ID on ...

Asking for registration (for things like downloading free OS updates) is very stupid decision. I (and I'm sure most other people) hate everything that requires any kind of registration, and it's sad that Korg management doesn't understand this. Make it easy for people, not put obstacles before them ...

It has like a hundred voices of polyphony on the piano engine. That's more than it has keys. Unless your standing on the sustain pedal, how do you kill those? Kronos pianos are stereo, left and right channels use separate voices, so number of actual notes that you can play is half of polyphony spec ...

No, that is not possible as the Kronos uses totally different synth engines than the Triton. It's not "totally different" at all, as all of the Triton synth parameters are present and almost all of Triton's samples are in Kronos ROMs. Making a reasonably accurate Triton to Kronos converter is ...

I think Korg licenses you when you buy the Kronos. That's the way it works with sample libraries as well. I still don't understand how this kind of brand name use can be restricted. If it was, no one here on forum could discuss Steinway pianos referring to them by "Steinway" brand without getting a ...

You can't use the term "Steinway Piano" as a selling point without giving credit and likely percentage of profit. Hmm, I can imagine that they cannot directly "brand" their samples as Steinway, but why can't they say that they used a Steinway piano to record German grand sample set, for example? If ...

What exactly would Korg be copying in that case for it to be a copyright issue?

VST-Plugin only end of November (that probably will become December according to experience). A plugin which is part of the product, with a delay of about half a year: that's just not ok from my view. Where is it stated that it's part of the product or that it should be immediately available with ...

Sometimes science can be too scientific... ! How about then making sure all tests use my OASYS (as opposed to someone else's) because build might be slightly different... and then doing comparative tests with all working OASYS out there... :roll: Maybe I'm missing the point, but I work on how ...

Well, I am bothered because it's like if you write a MS Word document and save it on one computer, then open it from another computer and find out to your amazement that words and phrases you used have changed to different ones. Just as Word will display your document the same way no matter on what ...

OASYS had slow mechanical HDD and it was booting faster than Kronos.
So there is something going on during the boot that does not really depend on drive speed.

New sound libraries? But where are the banks to put those sounds in?

It's not a criticism. It's a fact. It's much easier to make a big sample set than a smaller one. Hence, they brute-forced it. That doesn't mean that it sounds bad, it does not, it sounds pretty darn good. But they brute-forced it. Well, they did less work and achieved better result, so by any ...

Kronos loads no faster than OASYS so I'm not sure even that drive speed is the weak point.
