Just a single regret...

Post by vipmusicos59 »

Of course most of you are anglophone people, and you can't understand the real lack of a deep owner manual in your language!

But, even if I can understand and read English, lot of things could be easier if they were explained in my language!

The translated "starter manual" is just a pity... The real thing is the Operating Guide that I've printed= that makes a pretty thick book... It would have been great if all distributors were to translate this OPGuide in the country where they trade Korg products... :roll: :idea:

You know, for easy operations/functions, it doesn't matter... but when you want to understand some nuances or want to go deeper through some parts of your quite expensive keyboard, you can be really frustrated to spend your time trying to understand explanations written in a foreign language when things would be easier when explained in familiar words... :idea:

I'm not used to such recriminations... but sometimes things must be said!
:wink:

Trust me - being an English speaker isn't much help for some of it either. ;D I think they'd make some serious money if they got someone like RichF or an artist to walk through the functions - showing how they work, like an instructional course. That'd be money I'D spend. 8D

vipmusicos59 has a point, I would think just plain old common courtesy would say anywhere you have a distributor you would have translated documentation. On the other hand Comrad_Durandal has a point as well. Reading the manual I English, my language, has still left me mostly confused!

When I come on an english or american forum, I do perfectly know that messages are in english...
When I buy a keyboard from a French dealer, I'd like to have some useful documentation in French... that's my only purpose!

Everything is quite perfect about this Korg Kronos, except owner manual documents...

That's the drawbacks of imported products.. but what the hell?? i'm from indonesia.. A lot of people here doesn't speak english.. And i'm a native indonesian.. If you didn't understand something, just google translate it, ask it here, or best, learn english.... It's also good for you in case if you're going to USA or UK, or ANY OTHER COUNTRY in the world, because it's universal..

Sorry if this is too much.. BTW translating 1000+ manuals is not an easy task..
Love my kronos 88 :D
Love my yamaha psr s910 as well

Korg Kronos 88, Yamaha PSR s910, Korg C720, Yamaha DTX 520, Focusrite Scarlett 18i6, a pair of Yamaha HS80 in (soon not to be) an unproperly treated room..

Hi Ned, :wink: ,
you see, that's what I mean= when reading something in french, I can immediately understand jokes or irony... :wink: :idea: :idea:

As I'm far involved in sampling stuff for Yam Tyros, I give tips and tricks to french users: sometimes when you want to go deeper through some functions, explanations, even in your native language are difficult to understand for newbies (even for experimented users sometimes :-k #-o ).

Of course, simple instructions or basic functions are easy to understand via a "kitchen-technical pseudo" english... :roll: :roll:
Lot of functions are also quite intuitive via touchscreen apps or physical knobs and sliders...

I'm not sure that lot of native anglophone people do perfectly understand all the karma apps... I let you imagine french users facing that!!!
