Just created a more formal repository for the petition, will try to bump it up periodically (SHARP: feel free to make it a sticky if you deem appropriate):
http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=61948

Feel free to spread the word, e.g. Karma forums, Harmony Central, etc.

Thank you. Don't you find it a good idea to include also EXs3, the wind sample library?

Akos,

I find MOD-7 and LAC-1 are justified by their inclusion in Kronos. From the NAMM Kronos intro video I recall viewing I don't believe the Brass & Woodwind library is explicitly mentioned as included, or is it?

Hi Gus, yes, the EXs3 is also included in Kronos for free.

Sharp asked this in the formal petition thread:

Sharp wrote:Why should people get for free what others including myself had to pay for?

I didn't want to make a mess there so I answer here:

From another perspective it seems the same happens now, too. I mean prospective Kronos buyers get for *almost* free what OASYS users had to pay for - namely the LAC-1, MOD-7 and EXs3.

Maybe I'm wrong. But I would like to know how much does the above 3 options cost *now* in Kronos. Can we estimate it compared to the full price of the instrument?

My bad then Akos, apologies. I personally have very little interest in that third library, reason why it escaped my mind. But I agree, it should be included in the petition then.

Well, everybody can have those EXi's for free - you just have to buy a Kronos.

Sorry - couldn't resist the temptation.

What surprises me more is that there are Oasys users who didn't buy those EXi's when they were launched. I mean ... how could one resist MOD7?

I bought all of them. Therefore I've ambiguous feelings about watching others getting them for free for their Oasys now (without any discount for me or others that paid the full price). But I understand the resentment - now that Kronos offers them for free. Obviously Korg has no problem "separating" the two deals: If you bought an Oasys and want them you've got to pay. If you buy Kronos it is for free.

Gusfmm, I understand your "If I go to hell you have to go there too" comparison. But perhaps you can understand the ambiguous feelings of original buyers too.

I much appreciate your posting here.

I do understand and respect such feelings as I have personally experienced a similar situation, something I briefly explained earlier in this tread. I'd have expected any reaction would have been to KORG, as this tread has intended.
