reverb depth knob range is really hard to use?

Post by fancyPantsZero »

hello...
is it just me, or does the reverb/depth knob's range make no sense? on my unit, the 0 setting is bypass, the 1 setting corresponds to "quite audible", and 2-10 are way over the top, unusable except for bizarre space effects.

I can go in the editor and choose a value between 1 and 100 instead of 1 and 10, but still the upper 90% of the range is mostly unusable.

is there a way to fix this, or am I doing something wrong? any chance of an OS update that address this?

thanks.

Yes, and also the same goes for the amp sim. We have been waiting on an answer to both the reverb and amp issues for months now. Honestly, if these are fixed it would be a five star gigging board for sure.

Is there any improvements or something about this now? since... 2010?

Weird adjustments - the tremolo, too

I find a similar problem with the tremolo. I can't seem to find a sweet spot that does not sound jiggly in an unpleasant sort of way. I tend to use the Uvibe instead, though it is hardly the same thing. I need to go into the editor again, it seems, but I am not hopeful.

Tremolo is a disappointment to me. From my limited old memory of real Rhodes Tremolo sounded like the one in iPad iLectric... I haven't dug in the editor and suspect it could be much better.

I wonder why Korg tuned those effect and amp like the way it is now...too extreme. Did I read somewhere that someone said in version 1.0 the effects were tuned on to more subtle side but extreme?
