Drive

Post by mantrak »

After installing OS 1.2 and messing around with SP2 sounds I am realizing that Drive button works quite differently than before. Now there is huge jump from position 0 to 1. It practically jumps the whole usable range, there is almost nothing usable above 2 or 3 as distortion becomes ridiculously high.

I remember using Drive with much more detail before. It looks like I have lost a quite important feature. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Please tell me I am doing something wrong!

I don't remember what it was before because I installed 1.2 right away. But it is way too much too quickly. I want a little warm crunch, not a death metal sound.

Hey Korg can you fix this?

I am aware that the "solution" for this problem is to tweak sounds using the Editor software. I did it but it is way too tricky. Also it does not help once you go back to the control panel. Whatever you do with the editor, the Drive knob on the control panel remains too coarse.

This is realy a problem because Drive is very important control for live playing. It affects the volume and sound color very strongly and simultaneously. I really do not understand that more people is not complaining.

Otherwise this is really great instrument. I just hope Korg fixes this soon.
