I would just like to thank you Guys for all the free entertainment and usful info on this site. The Korg forum is by coparison a little like a miserable morgue these days. All you seem to get is lots of whinging. (As in Poms, Rikki)

BTW Rikki, we should really try to try to get Pete (Karma forever) to come accross, if only to give these Yamaha guys some stick.

Regards

Col

Really? I dont think there is much wrong with the Korg Forums. I allways enjoy my stay tehre.

You can't suit all of the people all of the time

Col

It's funny, Col, but this forum seems to be a little less Yamacentric these days. Sure, some of the rampant and verbose fanboys are still here, but with the new Korgs of late I detect a bit of a shift. After all, it is an Arranger forum with no specified allegiances by management to any one brand. So it's all good.

p.s. I get a chuckle out of Scott's addressing you as Col. Saswick. It's almost as if I have to snap to attention and salute.

The Korg forums are a bit on the dull side.

SZ rules!

Ian

So are the Yamaha forums

maybe I need to get a pa3x and post some demos on the KORG site to wake them up?..

It might help a lot, Donny...nobody else posts any demos there...it's like Mother's Day in an orphanage...very dull.

The Yamaha forums like PSR Tutorial, and several of the newer private ones are pretty busy with lots of tunes being posted and much discussion happening.

Hi Col,
a lot of us have all but dropped out. I did something like 800 posts in the 4 years I had my pa800,
doubt I would have posted more than a couple of dozen times since I've had my PA3X & I've had it for at least 6 months now.
To me the driving force behind the forum posts was Rob Sherrat, he kept the place humming.
He was one of the driving forces behind the Korg learning DVD's, which was a non profit project.
The fact that they ended up making a profit, he came up with an amatuer styles creation competition, which ran for a year. They'd never quite gotten round to doing a DVD on style creation, so it ended up a year of exploring korg's style creator. It was great fun. Amazing the amount of users that wanted to learn how to do their own styles or at least be able to edit them. He just had great ideas.
The forum was busy for many years.

I don't think I've ever seen Pete over here on synthzone. He's wanted to catch up, unfortunately we live on other sides of the continent. Just missed out on a couple of occasions where we ended up in the same city, just timing was wrong by a couple of days. Bit strange having to drag my husband along for morning coffee to meet a music buddy. haahaa

I know that term well Col ( whinging pom), not very nice of us Aussies, I apologize, you probably call us worse especially over cricket. haahaa

Ian, you need to be in the right section on the Korg forums, the Creativity Section. Korg's forums are clearly more oriented towards synths overall, it's not just an arranger forum like here on SZ. People who buy Korgs tend, on the whole, to be synth guys, you know, tweakers. It's whatever turns your crank after all. But, there's some very good talent over there. They might not be playing selections from South Pacific or whatever and it's not for everybody, but there's some quality stuff - got to give them their due. Try here:

Thanks 124...I am a member there for quite some time...I will check out the link...it looks very good!

Been listening to YouTube Korg Kronos demos for the last hour, sent to me by Tony Hughes, who is buying one next week, I think? Or maybe sooner.

Awesome synth...I'd love to have one but don't have that much spare cash right now.

Ian

Tony congrats on your new KORG KRONOS....who would have thought?..

Aaahhhh!!! Made it - great to see some familiar names here..
Now I ned to catch up and read some SZ posts....

Pete

I just came from the Korg arranger forum and glad to see KMA activity from old familiar friends over there.

Bernie

Did they make a seperate forum category for the KMA yet, Bernie?

Ian

Yes it is a bit slow on the K forums....but I always received all the help I needed there lots of knowledgeable people willing to help & that's always good. James does a great job keeping it all together.

Ian
I don't think so, yet. I was in the arranger general section.
Bernie

It's a well run Forum, Bernie...James does a great job...lots of good info and camaraderie.

Ian

KF vs SZ ?
Can you even do that ?

Both sites offer very different content and little to no overlap. Why pick one over the other at all when you can have the best of both worlds.

Regards
James.

Exactly James. You hit the nail on the head.

Hi Pete,
great to see you here.

Hi Bernie,
just the man to ask James ( IrishActs ), about you guys getting your own spot over on the forums.

I think I may have read that James was willing to do it, if there was enough interest in the new keyboard??

Hi,
should also clarify the only 2 sections of the forum I visit are the PA2X & PA3X keyboard sections.
The rest of the site could be booming for all I know.

Hi Guys,
Synthzones more of social forum, you drop in, find out what everyone's up to. Pick up the odd tip.
Have a chat etc etc

Korg Forums, users write in to try & get help for problems they're having, or to share something they've discovered. It's more specific. It's where you go when you have a problem, or learn more about what you own.

Yep, best of both worlds.

p.s.

can you get Rob to buy a PA3X. We miss his enthusiasm. He kind of made the PA800 forum, what it was.

lol... I think Rob has seen the light. The guy is onto something really big with the Open Studio Live and I'll be there to support him anyway I can.

Regards
James

Hi James,
I know, I wish you guys well. It's quite a project you've taken on.

Us Korgies still miss him though. haahaa
