Hi Korg,

please spend us new sounds with the new 780 EFx presets

Not all of us are sound designers

I`am shure some people of the Korg voicing team, create sounds that you never released

Surely if you're not a sound designer or don't fully understand effect usage, this is an absolute gift.

When you're in sequencer mode producing a song and decide that a Rotary Speaker effect would be nice applied to your guitar or organ you are now able to apply the effect and just select from a number of preset settings for that effect. It's a quick and easy way to get good results. If you don't understand effects or sound design, or even if you do but just want to get quick results and improve your workflow, then these are incredibly useful. There is no need for Programs to go with the effects. You apply them to the Programs that are already available. If BOSS release a new guitar effects pedal, I don't need a new guitar to go with that

Hello oasys76,

it is like Daz says very simply, an effect for a program or combination to change ...

"If BOSS release a new guitar effects pedal, I don't need a new guitar to go with that"

No, Daz...that reasoning don't work here. Your guitar will work withOUT your cool BOSS pedal. Our Oasys WONT work--not even a little--without sounds programmed into it.

I will always side with the whiny @$$ who wants more sounds (just like me) and I will always be willing to pay for them...up front. I even paid Korg for developing the stuff you can pay for on korguser.net without complaining. But I would expect them to do some more programming of SOUNDS for us since they developed this gosh dang thing and they know it better than we do!

I am not complaining about my beloved O. It is the life force in my studio... actually, I am... but you know what I mean. If I had to sell my studio 1 pc. at a time... the Oasys would be the last to go.

Speaking of "to go", I will go now.

Er, but it's got sounds programmed into it

A lot more than my guitar has too ! LOL

All the Programs on the Oasys are not just individual concrete entities, there are lots of ways (easy ways!) to bend them to create new sounds. Whether that is applying FX, using Tone Adjust, the Real Time Control knobs or layering Programs in Combi mode. In a way every Program is almost like a little synthesizer in it's own right.

If you want to dive into the shallow end of sound design, dial up a Polysix based program and have fun with Tone Adjust; a great many of it's parameters can be controlled that way and many new sounds can be created by luck rather than judgement

1408 factory programs if I'm not mistaken.

(Not including GM sounds of course.)

"It's got sounds programmed into it"

That's my point. It has to be programmed. Your guitar does not. That's all I meant.

Gosh curvebender, that was rude. I am not reading and writing posts to watch personal attacks develop. Just stating my cause and opinion. I didn't read in the terms of sevice agreement that doing so was not permitted.

On a more positive note, I actually think that Korg is developing more sounds for the Oasys. And if not, I am still keeping and lovin' mine.

Chow for now,

David

Hey ucandream,

I didn't mean to be rude, sorry if it came out that way.

But I was merely pointing to the fact that the Oasys has tons of sounds in it from the start, but you make it sound as it it's completely empty. Which I found a little strange, because it isn't..

Anyway, sorry again.

Okay! But they could have given us 704 factory programs and spoon fed us the rest over a period of time to mute all the complaints for more sounds. It's a perception thing and it's based on Korgs own advertising philosophy. You cannot create expectation from paying customers with promises of seemingly unending future developments from Korg, themselves, and other 3rd parties and then support a newer M3 at 1/2 the cost with twice the speed and program releases without expecting some friction.

You know my name.

Curve,

it's cool. If you read my previous posts I didn't imply that the O was empty. Just refuting the comparison made of a guitar, then the Boss pedal, and no need for a new guitar. (That's abbreviated.) Ya have to read my reply in context.

It's all good from here.

Smile.

This is not addressed to anyone in particular, just following up on the general point I made above.

People keep asking for more sounds which I totally understand, but I wonder how much people are really embracing the ability the instrument offers to create new sounds yourself without hours of sound design (see above). It sometimes seems people are missing that boat from what I read here (not just in this thread). You can take even a GM Program and really sculpt it to fit a specific need using just Tone Adjust.

My last (yeah right) 2 cents worth,

If Korg and crew read all these threads and seriously feel unappreciated then I serioulsy wish I was close enough to slap each one of them upside their chops. Yeah, a buch of us seem all |3 !+chy about the seemingly light support in sound design but ya gotta admit, Korg, we are one h3ll of a passionate group, aren't we? That's how much we love this dayamn thing!!!

When have you guys EVER seen so much enthusiasm for one frigging keyboard? Huh??

I applaud Korg and own MOSTLY Korg stuff for their stuff. I am still getting awesome snds from my WS/AD.

Now, Korg, email us all with notice of new sounds....k?

hehehe
