WTF is wrong with Korg?

[Biggles]

They release a Beta product with the Pa5X with missing features compared to the previous model and many many months later they still have not sorted the keyboard.

Korg Italy staff seem to have been decimated, as have Korg UK.

Yet they use their resources and produce kids toys like this:-

That's why I use a Kurz .....

Korg strikes me as the sort of company that pushes the junky little toys to pad out their product line sales while dropping support as soon as they release the new models.

I find outfits like Roland and Kurzweil provide much more substantial support.

And if you want to use a scope to design sounds, $100, more or less, gets you one of these.

I bought this for my Grandson to build when he visits, he loved being taught how to solder.

Much more fun than a £175 Korg kit

Hi, couldn’t agree more.
Supposedly May/June for onboard editing.
Have my import/export working, but staying away from factory styles just in case they cause a crash when imported back in. Edit those only in the PA5x itself.
Make more sense if they spent resources working on PA5x , instead of wasting it on silly toys.
