Korg Forums

OASYS owners have been offered varying degrees of credit from Korg to use for Kronos sound libraries.

Some have $500 and some have the max of $750.

My concern is that at the moment, there are two Kronos libraries available to buy - one for $49 and one for $19.

That makes a total of $68. In my case that makes for $682 of credit not used.

SO - what if Korg don't release $682 worth of Kronos libraries by the cut-off date (I think end of March 2012)? Do we lose the remainder?

Would appreciate the thoughts of OASYS owners on this topic.

That thought did pass my mind. But I said to myself, may be they have big plans to release lots and lots of new programs, combi's and totally new engines for the kronos amounting to more than $750.

If they don't, Korg being what it is, I could hope they would extend this offer indefinitely OR may be they would consider this credit towards the cost of a new kronos or even other korg products?

Having said all this, I would still prefer to have these expansions and may be an editor for my oasys anyday, rather than having to buy a new kronos just for using up this credit.

I hardly can imagine that there will not be more libraries so that one could use the whole credit before expiration. I don´t think that Korg will play foul here, otherwise nobody could take them seriously at all.

Korg wouldn't offer us that amount of credit if they had no intention of releasing more that would amount to such value first of all that would add insult to injury being duped into to buying a Kronos and would do them no favours at all.




I do think the cutoff date is a little mean,but with NAMM 2012 around the corner wouldn't be surprised if there's some kind of goodies in the pipeline

I think it is too premature to be of a real concern at this time. I would allow the availability of product to become more developed before expressing concerns.

I just hope the cost of the exis are not huge. It would be my wish that they were extremely affordable.

Good points everyone.

I guess my thinking is that it's all related to price.

Should Korg release another 2 libraries at $375 each (possible if you think about Karo street pricing), then yes, we'll be able to use the full credit.

However, should the libraries be $50 or less, that would mean Korg releasing another 13 libraries if the credits are to be used up - there's my concern!

I'd be very surprised if Korg releases 13 libraries before the end of March - which is a little over 5 months away at the time of writing...

My concern about credits is different. I reserved my Kornos at the end of May this year, a lot before the libraries and savings were announced. Unfortunately the distributor here in Argentina said the next lot of Kronos 61 will arrive late february or March next year so I,m not even sure I'll have my kronos on time to make effective the credits. Of course I cannot buy any library if I'm not a registered owner first so I like to have a Kornos, I tried to buy one, I have 750 USD in credits as Oasys owner with all the libraries but Korg or my distributor are not able to supply me the instrument
Hope the limit for the credits will be extendend at some point in the future...

Very good point Leo, and yes, I hope Korg think about everything carefully.
