The Kingkorg (still can't get used to the namedjcactus wrote:If I recall the Electribe forum has quite a bit to say on new tubes.(some of those guys replace their tubes out of the box) Although the process for changing the tubes on the KK will be more complex then the Electribes top panel having a section for the tubes. Worst case scenario you can send the board in for repairs, surely Korg will service the instrument for years to come, and when they stop the service manual should be available.(If this is still a board of choice for you)Oldretro wrote:You are right, there is nothing better than hands on experience. In the mean time I have had look at the Parameter Manual, and listening to some more demo's on YouTube, and I must admit it seems to be capable of a bit more than I first expected. And after listening to some sounds I got the impression that it can sound quite lush and creamy. Could that be the tube? One thing worries me though, what to do when the tube is worn out. Any guesses if there will be a affordable replacements when that happens (how long would it last anyway)? Will it render the instrument silent if the tube is broken, or can it be by passed?djcactus wrote: I think it looks like a neat keyboard. I definitely want to play one for sure, but im still on the fence about buying one. From the sound examples i like what i hear, and like always i take early criticisms and comparisons with a grain of salt


BTW, it might be a good idea to put the KingKorg in the "family tree" of the Korg Forum (Moderators, if you please?).
