Ok, probably not. Of course, if you'd actually decided to come and describe your problem and the step you'd tried, I'd have known that, wouldn't I.
And what makes you think that people are going to take you seriously? It's one thing to go to various forums and post a calm report of the specific problem you had and its resolution or lack thereof; that kind of thing would be taken seriously. But you're not going around to various forums to warn people and help them avoid problems; you're doing it to throw public tantrums at Korg.
As I suggested in another thread you posted in, someone considering an M3 should read your posts to be aware of the problem but should also decide whether it will actually affect them. You're not the only Korg user with the firewire expansion, and some of them have clearly had success using it; if NONE of them worked, that would be common knowledge by now on these forums, and it's not. No one, however, should choose not to buy a Korg product simply because only one person says so, especially when that person comes across like a whiny toddler who wasn't allowed to get cookies in the grocery store.

So you're mad because they failed to release a whole new version of their software (or drivers or whatever) to fix one out-of-the-way issue? I mean, yeah, it's a pain that it crashes, but couldn't you get around it by closing and re-loading the project? It's gotta take what, an extra minute or so, tops?
In the software world, we have a few choice terms to describe idiot customers like that
Most people don't have a clue what goes into software development, and think that changes can be made instantly, without realizing that even once the programmer has made the change to fix the problem, there's a huge amount of effort required to get the fixed version out the door. And of course, before someone says, 'software should be perfect', well, are *you* always perfect at *your* job?
It's also possible that Korg had to pull the programmers from the firewire drivers and M3 editor onto another project. That's the situation I'm in at my work right now; I'm the only one working on a massive project, just to keep it going and retain customers, while all the programmers who'd been on my project for 10 years or more are on other projects now that will bring in more customers and increase sales. So let's not assume that the programmers are just lazy; management may be preventing them from doing fixes they might want to do.

Gotta love XKCD.

Not everyone here is a rabid Korg fanboy. I'm certainly not, and all the regulars with high post counts are more than aware of the issues various Korg products have. Heck, Daz, one of the two forum founders, recently sold his OASYS and left the forums and the Korg world. Most, if not all, of the core group here would rather see productive discussion, both good and bad, than pointless ranting or over-the-top praise of Korg products.
It's been 11 years and still we can't get this pest out. I didn't voted form him, BTW
