Why is this forum not as active as the Kronos forum?

Do you want "a very animated forum"?

Go on Korgforums, and post the above metaphor, comparing the Kronos to a fiery car crash, and sign it "a jupiter fan".

That will indeed create some animation, heh heh...

You're bad Ozy! ;-)
Lol

Think that is real gap in Roland's marketing. There are no Roland's representatives here, so no chance for direct feeback, while at KF there are Dan and Rich and they are listening and some times replying and even answering via pm in a special cases. So, even if requests from K owners are not accepted by Korg (due to numerous wish lists were never met seriously) the comminity at least feels as if being heard.

Uhhh . . . I'm sorry . . . What were you saying? . . .

Troubleshooting [Kosmos666 Synth Reference Manual, page 873]:

"If Your Voice can't be heard on the Forum related to the Kosmos666, try disconnecting the USB cord. Wait for a few seconds then reboot the synth. Repeat ad libitum. CAUTION: In case your voice can't definitely be heard over several weeks of USB rebooting, carefully avoid pestering Kosmos sales representatives and Kosmos-related third party software developers on Forums and Social Networking devices. They could overheat and completely shutdown their interfaces. This would force you to mail your Kosmos666 back to a service center. Whose phone number, BTW, will be disconnected".

Uh.. I dont agree. I think their are many problems with that keyboard gone "unaddressed" ..note cutoff & others..which Korg hasnt even aswered or responded. And the new update was promised in Oct and still not yet released. I am seriously glad I have the Jupiter 80.

then there is a nice and easy solution to the problem stressed by our friend HwyStar when opening this thread:

let's make this the unofficial Kronos forum ;-)

I am sure that HERE there will be no censorship of Kronos' ...er... reality checks

[and let's move the Jupiter debate to Korgforums, and let's have Peter Pan Kay moderate it].

Both debates would be more lively.

I'd suggest another rule though:

Since anybody who tested and didn't immediately bought two Kronos (or three Jupiter80, or two of both of them) is considered a dangerous and incompetent troublemaker,

let's rule that fanboys must buy BOTH keyboards and test them BOTH extensively before they are allowed to rebuke a critic.

That would make for some serious and carefully thought-through assessment of the two Miracle Products

(I know, I know. I am biased. But I am laughing my ass off at the 2500-pages threads about Kronos keys rattling, capricious rebootings, karma malfunctions, notes stopping and restarting, whatever. When I said "I'll buy the Kronos after one year it's been tested" I was given a cherem...)

Ozy, you forgot "note cutoff and clicking, USB recognition and format problems, volume up&down,knobs falling off, no streaming etc etc" Phew..

Right.

And a questionable shakuaki.

Stop using such large words.:>) I had to look up shakuhachi..which is a bamboo flute.

And in todays news.. a new korgie reports his keybed problem .and a sitting duck trys to bravely defend the fortress.

Bruce is having problems with his KK as well. That sucks. Sorry to hear it Bruce. But, you still have some other keybaords you can use that are still working as advertised that they would!

Ouch. Didn't realise that Bruce was suffering KK blues as well.

Sorry to hear that Bruce - what are your plans? Wait for OS1.5? Return it for refund? Send in for repair?

Korg have got to sort this whole Kronos mess out. Cancellations/refunds must be hurting.

And the quality of the libraries they have released so far are a long way off 'must haves' - at the moment they are 'definitely can live without'...

Here is Bruce's post over at the Kronos forum: http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=438744&highlight=#438744

Hopefully it will get better over there Bruce. Korg cant afford to let you guys down. They will figure out a plan to fix things for all of you guys! Keep positive. You still have some very wonderful instruments you can play until yours is resolved. Maybe you could use the JP80 in place of the KK for your project instead?

Think we've gone OT (sorry!) but I now remember Bruce was actually one of the first to observe/complain about the keyboard quality re spacing and height. Got a hard time for it too if I remember right.

I honestly don't think I am exaggerating, but at the moment it appears like there's a new case being reported about either the RH3 keyboard or the machine itself (ie software/firmware) - or both.

Sad really. Meanwhile, my OASYS works perfectly as does the beautiful JP-80.

Maybe that explains two things (trying to get this back on topic!) - the OASYS section at Korg forums is very quiet, as is this JP-80 as has been observed.

Maybe it's because both these keyboards work perfectly - and were built to make sure they do - so there's no complaints!
