I'm curious.
How many of you have loaded & listened to the PRELOAD demos, and listened to the option demos on korg.com?
Are these demos inspirational?
Do they provide you with a "sense of what the instrument is capable of" ?
Is it still worthwhile for Korg to provide them?
Are the free option banks useful for you?
Comments are welcome.

More sounds are always welcome here, especially with all the free space that Korg thoughtfully provided to store Programs and Combis on the Kross. It was a little confusing when the new banks were released - that other than the User Bank, each PCG contained duplications of sounds already included in the stock soundset banks AB&C, but once explained, it makes sense.

For me anyway, the demos are a mixed blessing - they show so much expertise and skill in the programming that they can actually be intimidating! It's like: "Oh wow, this sounds awesome - but how could I ever do anything half as impressive?!? I think I'll go make a snack..."
But on the other hand, yes, they do show what the instrument (in the hands of a master) could be made to accomplish. And that's got to be inspiring.
