Very impressive! Looks like the expression controllers can make the programs really sing.

Korg and partners have steadily ignored our requests for more free user banks. But at the same time, with a tenacity worthy of better use, they continue to release new sound libraries. Where is the logic?

I kind of doubt the 3rd party sound library makers have much more pull with Korg than we (the user community) do. Would you rather they stop making awesome sound libraries? I wouldn’t.

I don't know. 3rd party sound library makers keep silence as well as Korg.

I would prefer that Korg and 3rd party sound library makers not only released а new awesome sound libraries, but also showed a marketing strategy, thought, whither will I load them, 29 programs with acoustic guitars, 81 programs with electric guitars, including the overdriven ones, 18 programs with bass guitar and more?
If they want my money, of course ...

Sure, I’m in favor of Korg finding a way to increase the number of user banks on tap. Feels like we’re kind of beating up on Sounds of Planet for Korg not doing this though. His other post kind of went that direction too. I sincerely doubt Sounds of Planet has much say in the matter.

Hello
Thanks you, Lightbringer, for your comments.

(free user banks )
I have send enquiry to Korg regarding that question – as soon as I would get any reply – I will let you know.

Hi, that sounds great. Many of us would be interested in any Korg reply

Here is the letter from July 13 where we made the request;

I really like sounds SoundsOfPlanet. And I would like to consider buying, but I really have nowhere load. Please, understand me.

Thank you very much!
You have done a very important matter for all of us.
If Korg increases the number of free user banks, this will only benefit and you and us!

There is certainly scope for extending user banks.

At the moment, for Programs, we have single keys
User-A, User-B, User-C ...

And key combinations
User-AA, User-BB, User-CC ....

but the other key combinations could also be used for Programs e.g.

User-AA, User-AB, User-AC ....
User-BA, User-BB, User-BC ....
....

That's 42 possible additional user banks for Programs, on top of the existing 14 already available, and 49 additional user banks for Combis (7 now available) i.e. over 7000 user slots each, for Programs and for Combis.

It would mean requiring an OS update, but would be useful for those wanting an extensive library of sounds available on tap, so to speak. However, PCG "Save All" files could become quite large, as a result.

Great idea for implementation!

I can't find words how annoyingly it's to have a large disk space for loading (many Gb) in Kronos and such a small number, compared to this, of free user banks.

It’s probably not just having buttons to access them. More banks on tap is going to take away from available sampling RAM, especially if the programs have new samples. And that would also mean longer boot time to auto-load the samples. Boot time is another frequent complaint. I’m not sure exactly how smooth sound transitions work, but there could be issues with additional banks and SST. Who knows what other challenges might be involved with additional banks.

I think it would be nice to have additional banks too. Just saying - it might not be an easy slam dunk for Korg to do this. There might be trade offs involved that could impact how different types of users are using the K.

It would be nice to hear from Korg, though.

“We’re looking into it.”
Or
“It’s impossible.”

It’d be nice to know.
