How odd....it wasn't private earlier. I wonder if that was some super secret feature?

I bet korg pulled his ears. I think this guy works for Korg Brazil.

Oooops...?

And now he removed the video. Definitively was called out by Korg.

Did it looked like a workaround? A menu option, or maybe some work-in-progress feature, that might or might not be available in the production version?

I wonder.

He was using Awave to prepare Korg formatted samples, dropping them onto an SD card, booting the Krome with the SD card in the back, going into a blank program, selecting the oscillator tab, changing the waveform source to the SD card and playing his samples on the keyboard. It looked to be a very useful thing. I hope it's for real.

My goodness, talk about a game changer. I will be able to recreate my Watcher of the Skies Mellotron patch once and for all.

Looking good. Now what I need is drawbar emulation. Then it will be a mini Kronos.

But why do they hide these features from the announcement? What is their strategy?

Korg doesn't want users to know those features. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever not to make a big splash out of user-sample-playback capabilities offered at such a low price. Remember that Korg wanted to build up lots of anticipation before releasing the info about the Krome.
User sample playback capabilities will wipe out Korg's competition in that price range.

Perhaps, Korg wants to save those features for a future release, something like the Krome X, which is to be more expensive and to be announced at winter NAMM 2013.

That Brazilian guy somehow found those features while messing up with the Krome.

If that is true, then maybe they will remove those features from the production OS, making time for the Krome-X release, which will be just a firmware upgrade, and all of the older Kromes will be upgraded?

If that is so, then maybe they'll also ask Sharp to remove this thread as well and impose an NDA on this. Would they?

In fact, I'm having second thoughts on the Kronos, really. I don't really need analog synths, or guitar, or even world class pianos, but since the Kronos had sampling, it was the only way. Now with this, I might not even thing about the microSTATION, and get the Krome. Even if the firmware does not allow sampling, because I know that it will in the not so distant future.

Kind of weird marketing strategy, if you ask me.

META and SAMPLE It would be better if someone translated it though.

Late to this post but what is being discussed is the Krome having the feature to let us load and play user samples? If so, this is big!!
