Where's the updates?

Post by bobbybland »

Korg doesn't seem very active with the development of this synth, please don't kill this synth Korg! Some active promotion and updates, as well as an editor would be nice, free patches, something!!

I agree, a bunch of severe bugs reported and acknowledged - and months go by.

Let's hope they are going for something bigger in new features then.....

The synth was announced in January. People started to receive them sometime around the end of Feb or beginning of March. So, it's been out for two months. In that time, we've released two updates: 1.0.3 and the Librarian 1.0, and then 1.0.3 Rev A (necessary for Windows only) and Librarian 1.0.1.

Forgive us for being impatient then - as new Wavestate owners again and again have to experience the same bugs and taking away hours from their creativity.

Hope your sales is doing alright....

As far as I know, our larger markets are back-ordered for many months. So, yes, sales seem good, thank you!

We continue to work hard on development, as always! Needless to say, the pandemic has had an effect on productivity in many ways. Personally, I just returned to real full-time work last week, after almost two months taking about half my time as vacation days so that I could take care of my toddler child, whose nursery school has been closed. I'm sure that others have been affected in many different ways. I hope that you continue to enjoy the wavestate!

Is too much to ask some ideas for future development?

Seconded!

I totally get the risks and hassles of announcing schedules, and then COVID-20 comes onto the scene and blows it all to hell. But even something vague with a ton of disclaimers like "1.0.4 software update tentatively targeted for 3Q20" / "Additional editing features for Librarian 4Q20" / etc would at least keep us off your back while you're working! :)

(I love my Wavestate)
