Yes James, I agree. Why Korg did not do that is a total mystery, but now the Genie is out of the bottle, so to speak, more power to Stephen Kay.
I would not even be surprised to see in the future it even being linked to Yamaha. Wow an XS synth with Karma......Wooohooo!!!!!
And Stephen Kay releasing his own VST would also be awesome

As for the old MS , unfortunately it was not just the arranger that had issues James. As I have said I use an arranger for a small percentage of what I do...................... /quote]

The only issues I know about where what was posted on the forums and I think I was pretty vocal about all that too as well has showing disgust for those not sharing information. The only problem outside arranger mode that I was aware of was the fact that the keyboard had issues booting up and being able to produce a sound due to reasons claimed to be outside Lionstracs control.

Inexcusable either way, but correct me if I'm wrong, that issue has been resolved.

You are also mentioning a lot of things now in your post that I've never heard of before so I can't comment really other than to say, feck in hell. I know that's under the old OS, so I assume that all that's been closed out now ?.

Same with the documentation ? I see manuals posted on their website. http://www.lionstracs.com/store/mediastationmanual-p-144.html

Do you still have your Mediastation ?

[quote]Not trying to be rude here, but following your line of argument, all Dom had to do was provide a concept of a sequencer onboard, whether it worked properly or not was not his problem but the problem of third party devlopers and end users.
Sorry but thats not a concept I can agree with.

There are other owners out there who would know this stuff too, but for whatever reason, they are deciding to "piss in the pocket" as our saying goes...or "sucking up to the boss" and either glosssing over the deficiencies, or are in denial about their existence.
