What I am saying is analagous to "God/ Allah or whoever is up there helps those who help themselves". The user community represents an enormous resource base and opportunity in terms of musical skill, finance and manpower that significantly exceeds the resources of Korg. I am now and have always attempted to mobilise the creativity of all users to create the musical resources, training materials, whatever we need to become better musicians.Lee wrote:Rob,
Interesting idea...let me think on it a little..
I don't mean to put words in your mouth, but are you in a indirect way saying Korg should not be asked firmly to fix the bad sounds?
We paid a big amout for a PA2XPRO, several hundred more than a M3-88, but we should pay to fix Korg PA quality issue?

I want us together to try to achieve a pool of first class musical resources for Korg keyboards that is owned and managed by the user community. I don't want to make money out of it, I want a spirit of international co-operation to arise from it, that is my only motive. It would be good for users, good engineering practice, good for international relationships, and good for Korg as well.
I see no long-term advantage in one or two individuals doing something like this motivated by profit. I see no long-term advantage in helping Korg establish a more dominant financial and controlling position over musical resources - because in my opinion the musical resources need to be controlled by the users and the marketplace.
I think the manufacturer should create the highest quality music engine and flexible Operating System that can be engineered at an affordable price. And should be rewarded greatly for doing it. I think all of the musical resources should be in the user domain, managed by and owned by the user community. It's too much effort to re-engineer our styles, sounds, samples, midi files etc every time the playback engine is upgraded.
So my straight answer to your two questions is "yo" and "nes".
Best regards,
Rob
