Are you sure, it was meant last August and not next August ? - It would not be the first time, people have to wait for almost one year for the editor...

Good news! If that´s true I will have my iPad App ready before that date.
It´s nice Korg gives me a chance to catch up.

There was a previous thread about this and no one from Korg responded to it.

I was hoping that a Korg representative would provide a status update on this forum...

I think most forum posters are not surprised by Korg's attitude..they seem either resigned to it, or have experienced enough of the company's attitude over the years to know that nothing will change.
Myself, I still havent got over spending £3000 and broken promises from Korg....more fool me.

Remember that this is an independent forum. Korg employees are surely constrained by confidentiality clauses in their contracts, so don't be too hard on not getting official responses here.

Traditionally, Dan and others from Korg and Karma-Lab have been extremely helpful on a personal basis and even sometimes in giving a Korg perspective.

So it's a bit unfair to be more harsh on Korg's attitude than any other company in this respect (and Korg USA were descent enough to host this forum!!).

Just because somebody works at Korg doesn't mean thay know what's going on in the software develope end, or if it's even being done in-house. And if things aren't going well it is best to say nothing than to have to do constant retractions. I just hope the onscreen display will be larger that the exisiting version. Some features similar to PCG Tools would be nice also- bank management, file management, etc.

This is rocket science:

http://de.novationmusic.com/support/pro ... a#Software

Or shall we call it state of the art?

The Kronos is more complex of course, but not that complex.

Definitely not rocket science. It is product developement and marketing. That carries a lot more weight than rocket science!

Kevin - sorry to be a stickler, but the forums are not independent if Korg funds the hsoting.
Also I am sure that Korg R&D read the posts for ideas, etc.
And thirdly, lets compare Korg to some other manufacturers....Access or RME, or Nord....hang on these are all from Euorpean countries...ha ha.

Actually Kevin is right. The forums are completely independent. Yes, they are hosted on Korg's server but that is as far as it goes. They have no say in how the forums are run and the forums are owned as always by Sharp.

Have you looked at the sysex docs for the Kronos compared to the ultranova, there is quite a difference in complexity.

I have to kinda agree with this, before maybe but now i think Korg is more
involved with us in here, it is not independent anymore.
