Korg recommend only to use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer - nothing else. KORGs OS is copyright - also nothing else.musiccankill wrote: .. it IS illegal and will void your warranty ..

Using another OS is of your own risk, but I think it could not be illegal - why it should be?
If one with knowledge in software engeneering organize and make OS-software for Pa-Keyboards, it could not be restricted to use it with ones own keyboard.
Maybe one is capable to make a new version of the OS better than a new update of KORG - I would be glad to get that version, also would be glad to get detailled informations about structure/organization of that OS, to help with ideas how to better realize and finish it.
On my opinion similar OS is used in MEDELIs A1000, but with some different software sections. I think its is legal to use OS bought from and offered by someone like Deebach does!
PS: Different bootimages are eyecatchers only. It is more interesting to get better/expanded functionalities and features with a better made OS - since there would be a lot to do and there are lots of ideas.
Sorry but i have to disagree with you!aliersin wrote:Hello everyone.
From moment you bought your musical instrument, it is your property.
You can make any change you want to your instrument, you can erase KORG brand if you want and rename Yamaha....or Roland....or. Kurzweill...., you can drop it from the 10 level....
In other words....it's totally legal everything you make to your property.
Best regards.

Wheter was maintained to modify Original Copyrighted OS nor Reverse Engineering - do not know why to use such exaggerated designations.musiccankill wrote: Changing the boot image requires modifying the ORIGINAL COPYRIGHTED OS
Purpose of JTAG procedure is to test functions of integrated circuits while they are already in their soldered hw-environment.musiccankill wrote: .. the only LEGAL way is to use JTAG (which may also be disabled, so no legal way at all)
If you think so, why do you think often to find offering DEEBACH XMS-Pro (completely removes Korgs OS) in that forum?musiccankill wrote:.. I think this topic should be closed anyway...
Thats exactly what i was trying to tell on my posts...Eduardo_Arg wrote:Hi Friends:
I must insist, Siebenhirter opinion is correct.-
It's neccesary to make a fundamental disctintion.- When you buy any product, you become an owner, so you can do anything with it; you can use it as is, you can modify it, and if you are a crazy man, you can destroy it.-
As an owner, you are free to do with that product anything you want, meanwhile you don't produce any damage to third people.-
Said this, when you buy a hardware or software, you can do with it what you want, instead you are the "only" user; if you modify one or both, what you "CAN'T" do is put it in commerce circuit without the permission from who is the author.- What is really ilegal is that you win anything with the effort of the person/s who puts his knowledge to develope the product.-
Another point it's warranty.- When you alter anyway a product or software, producer warranty is automatically finished.- But at last, you are free to run that risk.-
Just as an example, i dissasemble my PA600 and convert it in a powerfull sound module.- I ask you, is that ilegal ???? The only answer is no.- I'm the owner of my PA600 and i can do with it anything i want.-
Lots of people, modify (using free or pay ) opening screens or full advices and controls on (f. ex) MS Win SO.- That's not ilegal, meanwhile you don't pretend to sell that modified SO as if you were it's author.-
Lots of people, buy a car and later introduce in it hundres of modifications to get high performances or simply beauty.- That is also "not ilegal".-
There is no disctintion between licensed or free software, in both cases there is neccesary on author or developer, and him haves copywright.-
The illegal behaviour becomes when someone try to win money with the effort of other, just that.- When you modify any hardware or software for your own and exclusive use, you are not violating any law.- You run the risk that because of your modify product ends it live, and you can't ask seller or producer to solve you trouble: WARRANTY ENDS FOR EVER.
Finally, when you accept developer conditions in your "agreement", this is a deal between you and developer, avoiding you to do things that may cause risk to you or others, and puts the limit of the responsability of the producer developer or author.-
With regards.
