Buy a Kronos get a Monologue free

Starting May 1st, Korg has a promotional program on Kronos purchases. Do manufacturers have such programs for items that are selling well?

Hmmm...

these manufacturers should be more aggressive.

If I was president of Korg, this is what I would do:

Buy a Kronos get a Montage free

That would be a good deal....

You have my vote to be a Korg president....

Thats even better " BIG news"

Going to try to get serious.

Giving away a 24 key synth that was offered for $299, been on the market for
18 months is not very aggressive IMO.

I bet we will see dozens of MINTY BRAND New Monologues on eBay in a month.

I have been saying this all year- the k2 is overpriced ( lets take the 88) at $3699.

Likely sales have slowed , now Korg is attempting low cost gimmicks to induce a few more sales.

It would have been more useful to offer a $300 Korg gift certificate , useful
for 3rd party sample libs or Korg pedals, etc etc.

As we know, I should be Korg President.

I would shake things up there.

If the Montage was also made by Korg, then that might be possible.

It doesn't have to be "or". It could be there is a slowdown in sales AND they're planning a successor.

if you really want the Mono that much, you are in the 30 day window for a return.

If SW is your retailer, maybe they can accommodate your near miss.
Internally return it and generate a new sale. I bet this stuff happens all the time.

Yamaha did something like this the last 9 or so months the Motif XF was their top-end board. Maybe this means something new is on the horizon?
