Kelfar Technologies: KRS-95 Moda

I love they are building it up but it depresses me, with the rules they have that I will never buy one.

I know what you mean. I'm at the point now I don't even visit the website to checkout the new EX's.I refuse to buy another one until they update their policy which probably will never happen.
SHAME ON YOU KORG!.

I am just going to go to software. NI, Omnisphere, etc.

I think its clear that Korg and the 3rd parties that offer the sample libs with the 1 size only, that sales are being lost.

I think it would be useful if the parties would better explain why this policy is the way it is.

I would think they want to have more sales plus keep the security of the product under control. I tend to think there is a way to accomplish both. Since I am not behind the scenes I can't speculate.

I think these libraries are depressing in general. I have a right to my opinion here and I think most of the stuff in all these libraries just doesn't cut it. Sounds and prices are just not up to standard. It seems Korg will let anybody make libraries now? I don't understand how a library like this can even slip through unless it's a favor to someone. Why the hell would you buy tweaked sounds you already have and can tweak yourself ?I'm sorry if anyones offended but this library sounds terrible. There's nothing in here the Kronos can't do better. If Korg doesn't up it's game in the Kronos department this will be the last generation of hardware synths that sell well.
Go ahead library salesman, scream at me all you want. Everybody want's to make an extra buck, but....
Peace

You're right, no-one ever sells new sounds based on existing sample sets.

Oh, wait, there's an entire industry that does just that.

Actually, it seems pretty clear that offense is your intent.

What part of the policy concerns you?

Your post reminds me of the way I feel about commercial Tv and am radio. A lot of it is dreck. But since it is free, so what, their programming isn't harming anyone. I simply flick it off , and ignore it.

danatkorg, I'm glad your here. Do your biggest competitors charge for patches their synths are capable of creating? No. You lose. Are your competitors sounds transferrable to other synths then? Yes. Are yours? No. You lose. (Not that I care about this subject cause I don't need these sounds anyway but it's clear a lot of your customers are upset about this procedure, therefore, you lose)
I don't want you to lose because I think the Kronos is "Potentially" the best hardware synth product available, but when you don't listen to your customers, you lose. I have a deeper view of what a hardware synth is and could write a book about it, but if hardware synths don't become better than software synths, the software will take over (which it already is starting to) and then all musicians will lose, and you'll be out of business.

You might want to do a little research, since the answer is the opposite of what you appear to think.

You are absolutely right. I let a small pestilence irritate me too much and I snapped. I should of just flipped off the internet and gone on to better things. Good advice. I guess nothings perfect.

Have you bought any KRS libraries? There are five of them in these most recent announcements, all but one of which don't require an EXs.

None of KRS libraries cover orchestral instruments, right? I think I saw a Piano/Organ library, but nothing like wood wind/brass...etc

Hi Dan,

Glad you're here.

I'd like to buy a few of these libraries but I'm all out of banks.

Regards
Billy
