A lot of the new features, style, sounds seem to be aimed at more modern music, but there are quite a few new features that will satisfy us old farts too.

I'm afraid to do it today as I have a big party to work tomorrow, but I'll get to it Sunday night and have almost a week to get it sorted.
One feature I will love as that the midi-to-style converter will now accept Chord Sequences! This will present almost unlimited Style creation possibilities.
Can't wait to get it installed!
Also, Korg has released 62 new FREE styles designed to work with the new update!


Where it comes to updates, its in geberal wise to wait a week or two and see if there are any major problems teported...

I think this is the pre Genos patch... they know its comming.. i hope they save user sample streaming for a post Genos patch

I loaded the new OS late last night it was close to midnight when it was completed. It took about 40 minutes to install and that was after about another 30 minutes to download the huge files and read thru the directions on "how to" install. I haven't had any time to explore every new feature but what a nice upgrade. I already started doing some tweaking i.e. loading back my Songbook, changing style locations of the new styles since some of my own favorite styles got overwritten with the upgrade. Overall it was a very smooth non-problematic upgrade. The key is to carefully follow the directions in the pdf file and SAVE SAVE SAVE your configuration.

Can't wait to do mine! I'm glad you didn't have any problems with it.
They say a lot of the factory styles have been tweaked and improved. Have you noticed that?
I have everything downloaded and have read the manuals.

Comment copied from Korg Forum:
"I've noticed a BIG improvement in the conversion of MIDI songs into Styles. It does a very nice job now and really captures the chord progressions much better."
