Korg World Club on Facebook and Korg World Webinars

[mrgijones1]

Hi All, Just noticied that all the previous Korg World webinars have been unlisted on Crowdcast which is a massive shame as these were a fantastic resource for learning the functions of the PA4X and many hours of hard work went into them from Luke and Adam.

Also noticed that the Facebook Group Korg World Club is now set to inactive.

Seems really strange Korg have released a new flagship keyboard but the webinars relating to the PA4X and the two on the PA5X have been removed and the main Korg PA Facebook page has been frozen so no comments or discussion can take place?

Anyone know whats going on?

... Anyone know whats going on?

I don't know what's going on with Korg either, but it looks like they have no further interest in providing customers with reasonable, practical and factual information about the arranger keyboards, but only intend to praise their products in the medias.

I wasn't bothered by the fact that Korg's webinars weren't crowdcast, nor by the lack of comment/discussion on Facebook.

In both cases - Korg World Club on Facebook and Korg World Webinars - no higher-quality information on the functions of the Pa-arrangers was provided that could not be obtained by studying the manuals. I actually felt sorry for the time I spent browsing there for really useful information. That could have been found more easily through the manuals - even for bloody newcomers.

What really bothered me was the closure of the German forum, which was administered by Korg until last year. There you actually received well-founded technical information about functions, properties and possible applications of Korg's arrangers from practitioners who have actually used these keyboards in different situations.

The content of information of the Facebook group (created as a substitute for the forum) can be qualified as simply "ridiculous" and it was a shame about the effort involved in dealing with it (https://de-de.facebook.com/groups/168042086574844/). For me it would not be a loss if it would be set to inactive like Korg World Club on facebook.

However, even for uninteresting small talk, any other platform probably seems more suitable than facebook.
