Cross fade your samples to your hearts content with this FREE software. You can simply export your samples from the editor software and manipulate them with this software then upload them to the MS with the editor software. If that still takes you more than 30 minutes to create a sample bank then you are just slow at making sample banks with the MS. It's that simple. Problem solved?

I've used this method myself to manipulate samples and create banks for the MS so I know it works and can be done quickly. These two programs can run simultaneously on my PC so I see no reason why this should be a difficult task for you...especially with the credentials you claim to have. Now can you please stop posting bullshit?

ADAPT AND MOVE ON.

It is, I have been told by those who would know, to reverse engineer software, which is almost certainly a violation of the EULA.

In order to easily write software for the microSampler, you would need to have an SDK/API.

However, why have you taken the time to contribute to this thread? Are you opposed to functionality? Do you have a moral opposition to crossfading? Are you offended by things that are enjoyable to work with?
Are you hoping Korg will see your posts, and not develop their editor further?

To summarize- I'm posting here because I would like to see Korg make a better product, which would, I would imagine, benefit everyone.

What are you trying to accomplish?

My goal is to get you to:

Violate the EULA, so that you can tell your prisonmate about crossfading until he's sick of it and makes you his bitch.

Get you to beg your friends into violating the EULA, so that they can assist your prisonmate.

Then you'll all have plenty of time to write your open source software without an SDK/API.

Saving you hours and hours of drudgery and enhancing your user experience is not one of my goals. Making it harder for you sounds like a good thing, at this point in the dead horse beating process. Crossfade that.

Ok, we get it. Your suggestion has been posted more than a dozen times. You have a workaround. Why attack other users? Do you fail to understand that at this point you are presenting yourself like a whining child throwing a tantrum? Maintain some integrity and present your request through more appropriate channels (perhaps KORG customer support, or technical support, or possibly even the KORG sales representative who deals with the store where you purchased the product). There is obviously no way to please you other than by KORG adding the specific feature you are continuously requesting. That is not likely to occur solely based on repetitive posts on this forum. There is a thread for such complaints that has at least one UK tech support representative listening. His name is Mike and I believe he even posted a reply to your questions regarding open source software in another thread. We are all users of the same product and I'm sure we all would welcome improvements to that product. If that was not the case then this forum would not exist. No one is conspiring to bury your request. There is simply no justifiable reason for you to continue insulting other users who share this forum. I for one feel that any validity in your proposal has been masked by pointless immaturity and a complete lack of respectful decorum. That being said, what are YOU trying to accomplish? Can you please be an adult about this and proceed accordingly in a somewhat productive manner?

Here is a link to the thread I mentioned earlier:

Uh, I'm not attacking other users. I posted that it would be nice to have the software be open source, which then brought out every troll from under the bridge, very few of whom, other than the person who worked for Korg, actually had anything to say regarding the subject of this thread, other than I am somehow morally reprehensible for suggesting such a thing.

For instance, I haven't called anyone a "whining child throwing a tantrum", nor implied that some has some how lost integrity.

Also, I thought that maybe the Korg Forums might be an appropriate place to post. Crazy of me to think so.

And, again, what I am trying to accomplish is to see if Korg will release an SDK for their sample editor/librarian. If that wasn't clear.

Why do you keep posting in this thread over and over and over again, expressing your moral outrage? Why not just let the nice guy from Korg respond, or perhaps others who would be interested in seeing the editor be open source?

Why come and hate all over it, for no possible gain whatsoever? Other than, of course, the joy of seeing your own words in print?

You have a misprint in your quote, which I'm sure is unintentional. The full response is:

"No.

They spent money developing the software so they aren't going to turn around and provide the source code to the general public."

Since you don't work for Korg, I'm not sure how valuable you opinion is towards their corporate policy. Also, your tone (since you seem to be so concerned with tone) is condescending, especially when you have no inside knowledge. Indignant, even.

Now, what possible reason could you have to post the response, as you have no pertinent information as to whether or not they will release their own code? What possible constructive purpose could it serve?

Clearly, yet another person who just likes to see his comments posted, regardless of whether or not they are actually helpful.

So get over it, and let the guys from Korg answer (or not answer) my hopes for open source. Keep your moral indignation to yourself.

I have curiously followed this discussion for a while. What I don´t get is this: Why are customers defending the interests of the company instead of the customers´ (their own) interests here?
If Korg wants to justify why this and that feature some (or many?) users would have expected hasn´t been built in (be it in the software or the hardware), this is the place to do it. If they don´t respond, it´s not a customer friendly gesture in my opinion. If they are able to improve their product, fine. If they don´t take either of these actions, they might find their sales dropping.

To be honest, they don´t have the need to react as long as they have such faithful customers. I find this strange. Is it that some Korg users have to convince themselves that their decision to buy a specific Korg product has been right? Why is criticizing the respective product taken as a personal insult?

Maybe thuggy bear has been rather harsh in his criticism, but basically i feel he´s on the right track defending his own interest versus Korg. He´s the customer, no?
