 |
|
don't know if this is just a Toronto thing, but microSamplers have been dropped to $270 Canadian (!!) at 2 of the local music stores. so i think it's pretty logical to assume that it's on the way out, so maybe no OS upgrades forthcoming
anyway, i got mine for $270 and i had no big expectations, so i'm enjoying mine... i just hope i can figure out how to use it as a master Midi clock (see my previous thread) |

wow!!!! that is amazing! Finally I might actually get one at that price. Let's see what are the prices in the US...$199 I hope
*Now after checking the prices*
Well on line they are still at the hi price of $499 American.
Can you post the actual ad which shows the price drop?

not sure why you would expect it to be $199. isn't $270 already low enough for you? anyway, it's avail at that price at Moog Audio and Long & McQuade - you can look them up |

Someone mentioned getting one at that price on the board before, but he said the reason was because Canadian retailers overstocked the mS expecting it to be a big seller and it wasn't. So I don't think it's any indication that Korg is discontinuing the mS or won't continue to support it. I paid like $480 at Guitar Center and got a $100 rebate. I'm pretty happy with the machine for that price.

Listed as discontinued on a few suppliers sites now.
Sad as a unique product which despite its failings had/has many good qualities.
Among them, excellent durability, hardly any reports of faults. Mine still as good as new.
No sign of a replacement which is a shame too.  |

most people never figured out the best way to use it, and the hacker community never opened 'er up to see what easy-to-make mods are available. one guy did figure out how to connect a foot pedal jack, but that's the only mod i know of.
love this piece. it's limitations make me love it more (except the absence of an attack portion for the amp envelope. that kinda pisses me off). |
