Korg (R.I.P) Don't Support DJ Mixers
Wow...it's such a shame that Korg don't see it's self in the future of DJ mixers.
When Korg first introduced the 2007 Korg Zero 4 + Korg Zero 8, I along with many other Traktor® Scratch ready & Ableton Live 6 Korg Edition users was very excited about the advanced features that the Korg Zero mixers had to offer. It was was unprecedented, innovative as well as opening up a marriage in DJ and music producing remixing to a whole new level.
But after not just months but years (2007-2009) of weak driver support, I believe that Korg have decided that DJ mixing is not the market that is lucrative enough for continue support, based on their lack of updates, support on there pro DJ mixing line.( Korg Japan - USA )
Although my Zero 8 is almost like a paper weight when it comes to using my Vista 64 bit laptop (No Vista 64 or windows 7 drivers from Korg) no ability to store your effect settings on board...such a sad thing.
I will probably keep my Korg Zero 8 mixer a little longer but will check the history of support from the company that I plan to support in the future. ( Korg DJ Mixers will be another (R.I.P) Zero Line Mixers unless it gets a serious ''kick jump'' to start life again) I've Goggle used Zero Mixers and found that apparently lots of other Korg supporters are felling the same way.
That's my though's....what's yours?
