Keys&Bass Master TUNE/ Fine TUNE

Greets all..
First thank you! to Korg and the designer of the volcas for such great sounding units with even greater price tag (going to be best sellers for years!! Nothing but respect for that!

Now to my dilemma, I like to tune my synths to whatever harmonium I´m working in, be it with other musicians or simply to break away from 440hz to whatever I feel at that moment..but nether the keys nor the bass has fine tune for its OSC's?? without this vital feature these seam like toys for kids... sorry no offense to anyone, but anyone that's heavily into sound; knows this and its a silly omission that hurts the usability of the units..So:

Can Master tune be added to future update (say when you turn the units on and hold shift or something) is there a wishlist somewhere?

2nd how close do the Keys come to be able to fine tune via detune,.. And how does detune work in poly mode? doesn't make sense to detune the OSCs away from each-other in poly mode unless you want false chords as an effect.. So I´m hoping the keys has some ability to brake away from the western standard..

Thx!

This is indeed something that could easily be added by adding a sysex.

Man comon Korg ... I love the sound of the volca keys I wanna poly chain two of them ... but I need to be able to tune it to my other OSC´s and whatever harmonium I´m in in each session ... and believe me I don´t stand alone here, did you desig this for preset techno kids only?.. so expand the sales and the target market and make them pro tools (they are so close, the sound is there midi implementation is quite good (on the keys especially), undoubtedly a fantastic release (might even say the arrival of the volcas was a game changer ... honestly Korg a big Bravo followed by a loud WTF!

this is such a vital feature ... is there some hardware limitation that doesn´t allow this to happen, is there no space in the OS left ?? or what .. anyone know why this hasn't happen yet?

you mean to access fine tune via editor external of somsort? ... I think it would be essential to do this from the hardware (via some sort of shift+ tune feature) .. direct access to fine tune quite important in most scenarios

No, they designed this for a $150 price point. You want more advanced/obscure features? They have plenty of options for you in a higher price bracket.

Use the gear you have to the best of your abilities, if you feel the equipment falls short in its capabilities then its the wrong equipment for you or you just accept that all equipment whatever the cost has its own limitations. To be honest if I owned Korg I wouldn't be spending thousands on updates for what are very cheap and cheerful bits of kit, id be using that money to develop other bits of kit with higher capabilities and for sale at a higher price

Yes, master tune please - these may be sold off from my studio because I can't change the master tuning.
