You know, I found it pretty incredible that I was able to get an M50 for $500 off the list price, with a stand and a pedal. You have to wonder, eh? No communication from the company, no upgrades, not much of anything. Curious.kikedeolivos wrote:...my guts tell me that soon the M50 will be a collector's item, ie, being discontinued.

Didn't he mean the upload section on this forum, which is not affiliated with Korg..? But please, don't let that ruin your rant.kikedeolivos wrote:Korg's been silent for months; No update on the OS, new sounds, some bugs / wishlist / M50 upload/download area: my guts tell me that soon the M50 will be a collector's item, ie, being discontinued.
Meanwhile, Yamaha haven't released an updated the OS for the MO6/8 since 2006! They sure dropped the ball on that one, eh?
Some dude on some other forum claimed that the M50 was currently the best-selling workstation at one of the large outlets (Guitar Center? Sweetwater? - can't remember). Who knows what to believe on the internet, but this seems believable to me. I'm guessing the M50 will be in production for several more years to come.kikedeolivos wrote:my guts tell me that soon the M50 will be a collector's item, ie, being discontinued.

please, be my guest: these are REAL musicians (and Korg $$$ customers) asking for a change.
And, FYI, I give a rat's ass about what Yamaha does for his customers: I own a Korg, not a Yamaha.
