Hello Friends
...First I would like to thank Mr. Tramannoni and KORG for letting us know that we are not getting an PA Editor nor an API library. It is bad news, but now at least we know. Mr. Tramannoni, you also mentioned that in the future KORG might change the file format and make it simpler. I just hope that when KORG does this it does not become like Yamaha...by this I mean: Yamaha's PSR9000/9000 PRO used a specific format for its samples, then when Tyros 2 came out, it used a different one...what happend is, whatever samples you had from PSR9000/9000 PRO they were usless on Tyros 2...Yes, Yamaha supplied an FileConverter, but it does a worst job than creating everything from scratch...I hope that when KORG switches to a new file format they will stick with it and not change it with every new release of an arranger. This would be worst than the current format.
...This topic has gone way off-topic...This topic was not about lazy users, or EMC, or Need for More Styles, or Professional "From the Future" Features...it was about getting an simple PC PA Editor for organizing files, similar to Milan Markovich's KAT2000 with support for samples too, that CAN be used by non professionals too ... I mean, you do not have to be a genius to use software
.
...What makes me mad is whenever an individual tries to do us all good (in this case get us all a PA Editor) there are others in the community contradicting that individual, others that would also benefit from the idea but do not see it yet. We are never going to get anywhere until we all start working together. I was ready to put in at least a year of my time programming this PA Editor for all of us, but now we are all getting a big nothing...and all I needed was your support, I wasn't asking for any money.
...Mr. Sharp, I also do not agree with your statistics. Your statistics would be true if every PA user was born in one of the English speaking countries (USA, CANADA, UK, AUSTRALIA etc) and played English type of music, but most of the arranger users are not. Actually, the biggest number of arranger users is from one of the other forgotten countries or regions like: the Balkans, Arabic countries, India etc. and people of these Ethnicities also live in countries such as Italy, UK, Germany, USA, France and you name it ... This is an huge huge huge number of users we are talking about that WOULD BENEFIT from such software since the way any sold arranger is setup by default it is not fully setup for the music from these Ethnic regions. The reason that the arranger manufacturers are selling arrangers with samplers is because they are aware that these instruments are sold mostly to people that do not play English type of music (most English music players play in real bands)...if they sold arrangers without samplers musicians from the forgotten countires would not buy them ... The converted Triton file you uploaded Mr. Sharp is just another proof that there is a small number of English muiscians using arrangers, try uploading Darbuka/Tabla samples and you will see how many times it gets downloaded ... Also, this is an English speaking forum and logicaly it is mostly visited by English musicians therefore that is the main reason we are getting such resistance for this idea ... KORG, try visiting one of the Bulgarian, Serbian, Turkish fourms and see what they have to say about an PA Editor ... Just because one Nation of people does not use it doesn't mean others won't
...Also, I was very suprised at Nedim's comments ... Nedim was the one that sold his KORG because it lacked easy PC editing and now he is saying that we do not need it.
... Once again, we are NEVER going to get anything from these manufacturers until we start working together (Teamwork, like they teach us in schools) and this is not the time to prove who is smarter and who is not.
... but there is so much to do and PC software would make my life much easier.
... Yamaha's OR arrangers are another example.
