Very nice Korg resource cut off???

[thekeymaster]

I counted the people who after the praise added: "I am ordering it".

15 people.

If it was the monotron (no knowledge needed), I'd say that for every 15 people talking about it there are 1000 silently buying.

But a kronos buyer [a 3000/4000 us$ investment] needs references, details, support. He is somebody who goes on forums, chats, reads, writes, pesters - even if he is already convinced [ok, exclude the batch of big professionals who buy one, bill it to the producer and use two presets. How many are they? And how many of them bought the oasys? 1000? Will they buy TWO Kronoses? No. That makes 1000 of them worldwide].

Anybody who owns a doepfer modular, more or less we know, in our country.

Anybody who owns an Oasys in Italy, give or take two, I know the names or nicknames.

Multiply by 3? ok. By 5? Fine. By 20? Ok, you got 20.

By 10.000/20.000/30.000? No way.

The only way for a synth to be a best-seller is to be a LONG-seller (from the expensive minimoog to the popular m1).

Is Kronos bound to be a long-seller? Is it MADE to be a long-seller?

I think it is still a TRANSITION machine (= lifetime 2 years)

TENS of THOUSANDS in 2 years? Uhm...

Over 3,000 OASYS were sold in a 3 Year period.That was an $8,000 + machine. I don't think I would be wrong in assuming many would have loved to have purchased an OASYS but they couldn't justify the price. Ok my 10's of Thousands may be a little over the top but I still think Korg would expect a significant increase in sales over OASYS.

I don't think over 10,000 is improbable and I think word of mouth will make this sell more.

[ozy]

dunno.

If "word of mouth" is what's been happening on this forum for the past few days on the part of half those 3000 clients,

tough luck.

But... let's see.

As for the price/quantity curve:

it's not mathematical, but

3000 : 8000 = x : 4000...

huh?

x = 10.000? 20.000?... uhm...

ha haaa Yeah Ozy..... I think I maybe barking up the wrong tree.

Send any prospective Kronos buyers my way. I'll put in a good word or two for Korg....

As usual, people are entirely missing the point:The gripe is plainly, as it has always been about:-Oasys users never got their EXf

Thanks for making that clear, Hedegaard.

Readers of this forum might have not yet clear what it was all about.

Your summary of the issue was concise, informative and needed.

I dunno, but soon its gonna be:

Maybe that sentence about the EXf should be put in signatures of disappointed O users?
