Heart broken Kronos owner: It died today..non operational

I am sending it back to the same people that built this keyboard.

This will answer one question for sure. Since you are sending it back directly to Korg, if yours comes back with the dreaded note cutoff problem etc... then they have not fixed it at all.

I changed it because some of you guys are so irritating.
What exactly does that mean ?
Where you PM'ed with bullying messages to change the title or what ?

because at 1st you said this

I will contact Korg first thing tomorrow and return it.
Then you change the title anyway . Why?
Because if people are attacking you in PM's then that's not right .

WOW ! You start a thread, then No Comment to the questions above

The fanboys here , must have really harassed you .
Hopefully Namm 2012 will solve all problems Kronos related . Good Luck !

That's a bit uncalled for Rocness. If any one is being harassed by another member then I would love to see the proof so I can take appropriate action.

The cases reported here alone are definitely too many for us other users to feel safe any more.

Indeed, threatening is axactly the word I would use as well.

Rocness, what are your intentions on this forum?
Your activity here and elsewhere is very disingenuous.

Hi,
Disingenuous ?
I may not see eye to eye or agree with the majority on all the topics but that's no reason to question my post .
If there is something disingenuous going on around here trust me it ain't me .
Peace

Weather you and I agree on a subject has nothing to do what I just said. See the forum rules for how that works. I truly mean what I type. I will not argue with you or any one, and if we ever disagree, we will agree to disagree like adults.

To be clear, its your activity on this Forum I question as moderator. You have this idea there is a conspiracy going on here and its your duty to expose the so called truth. What you imply and say about the site, our mods and me does not go unnoticed here and elsewhere on the net. I would like to address this and assure you its all nonsense.

This nonsense must stop so ask me what you like. Just do it sooner rather than later as I don’t have the time to monitor paranoid ideas and people being disingenuous.

Are you going to be apart of the community here or not?

Regards
Sharp

My kronos also face the same problem here .. !!! :3dthumbs:

I love this keyboard but why it jz die after 1 month i bought?
So is yours fix the problem already?

jahrome · Post by **jahrome** » Tue Jan 17, 2012 8:38 am

Pretty simple....forum members didn't like the title so I changed it.

My wife talked to Korg Japan today. They are not sure what the problem is. They are guessing its the motherboard so they ordered one. I wasn't given an estimated time.

Of course in the back of my mind I am thinking....."You built the keyboard. Why isn't there parts readily available for repairs."

Probably they use currently every part for production, on the other hand, it would be logically they used a production part to repair your synth first.

I don't see why anybody would be obliged to give you answers or reasons for anything here.
It's actually you who see fanboys and enemies all around who want to harass somebody.

I have to say, you and your friend sparkie (alias RayS) are pushing the meaning of the word "paranoid" to some complete new level there.

jimknopf · Post by **jimknopf** » Tue Jan 17, 2012 9:32 am

Huh?
We hear about a tested fix from Rich, and Korg Japan doesn't know about it??? What about a phone call with Rich? I think that should be technically possible.

By the way, I appreciate your new thread title: it shows all the frustration you feel, without extremely negative generalisation about the board, which without such issues is the by far best synth and synth workstation out there from my view.

And I just feel contempt for the way Rocness and others try to insinuate conspiracies behind the curtains, and misuse well understandable frustration like yours, for badmouthing the forum culture and moderators here, and Korg and the Kronos in general.

It is very well possible to share justified criticism, without playing foul games towards Korg and the Kronos.

I've put up a reply on there as I felt that I was being dragged into the bullying "title" and I feel that is WHOLLY unfair. And I will echo my feelings again here. (page 9 of 11 in that thread)
Whilst I didn't agree with Jahrome's assessment of the Kronos, and voiced my opinion in this very thread, I IN NO WAY bullied him in to changing the title (and would welcome Jahrome's comments on this on to confirm).

And to answer the actual thread title from Roland Clans, the one reason why I don't really even lurk over there any more (hence one person less in internet traffic) is the unpleasant vibe I get from the postings.
Which is a shame, as the wealth of information available over there is great.

jahrome · Post by **jahrome** » Tue Jan 17, 2012 1:33 pm

I changed my title because I thought it would be better for the community in general. Nobody e-bullied me. Let's move on.

I will keep the forum posted about Korg's handling of my keyboard. I was working on a project and really need this keyboard.

I just had a view at that thread.
The paranoid muppet show going on there, with people who obviously have no life other than chatting about the Kronos, instead of making music with their own Roland JP80 and exchanging about that, is really funny, isn't it?

I guess nobody here takes them serious in any way any more. They worked hard to reach that state. Whenever they have their adventure day and come over here for a tremendously exciting visit, they should be welcome. And then they come back to their muppet show and tell the news.
"Jimknopf is starting to get worried." How exciting!
