"Sounds like the beginning of the end for Korg if this thing becomes a sales
flop."
Yeah sure does...hahahaha if your insane. Do you honestly think Korg bankrolled their entire company on ONE keyboard? Do you somehow feel the dozens of successful product lines they launched even invented don't count?
Worse thing that could happen...would be a reduced price within six months, and a host of spin off products at the next namm.
"bit that freaked me out (as well as the price), was when I read an (unofficial) review of it from a bystander. He said that there were STILL some acoustic sounds that werent replicated well (!). And to think that this is coming from an 8000+ keyboard?!"
Yeah and Nigel stated the other day...
It's hard to really judge audio critically because of all the background noise from nearby booths at NAMM.
In relation to the rompler features of the Alesis Fusion.
Plus natural acoustic sounds is the dragon all keyboards are after, even with an inflated priced keyboard...expecting a complete reproduction is unrealistic.
