Anyone here bought Korg GigaStyle Collection CD (one that advertises 11200 STYLES,) off eBay? Are they any good?

Normally CD's like that only contain copies of data already available on the net.
Chances are that everything you see in the download section here at KORG Forums is even on it.
Don't support these people. If you want to support a good cause, support us. The forums and all the bandwidth cost money.

It takes about a day to make a style that is " good", that is , if you don't sleep/drink and do nothing else but working on the style. That's probably without Intro parts recorded in minor and major keys..etc..just few Vars with "OK" fills ... It would take longer to polish it with extra available options. Now you do the math. Who would sell 11200 styles for $30 ? I doubt if there's 5 decent styles in that CD, unless people made stuff and they put it on the internet themselves, and someone harvested everything they could get their hands on from the net and sold it as their own. I just checked some of the ads. It's crazy man. some people even throw in some bonus DVDs and sheet music for the same price. lol

Assyrian said it right, 11200 styles for 30??? Ahahahaha...when most of us
usually charge 350-500$ per style...its all collected from the net and then sold.

Got it! Thanx a lot for the info. I figured they just repackaged styles from older korg models, etc. As for hosting/bandwidth I really hope you r not paying more than $10-15 month for hosting, and phpbb is free
I own few community sites myself, biggest cost is really just your time and that's usually none profit

If you want to call it a "good style" , it takes a long time dude. Some of the factory styles suck, but a decent complex style probably takes about a week for the developer to put together. It's so obvious that some of the styles were thrown in there just to fill up the empty banks. Some are master pieces in the world of styles.
