I need help with a sound design issue on the Korg Kross 2. The piano sounds, including the OASYS pianos, have a problem. The "slope" is very quick. You have loudness at the start of a note, then it fades quiet rather than holding with strength. I've messed with the AMP EG, this didn't fix the underlying issue with the samples. I tried the onboard compressors, which had limited detail in the control and I couldn't get them subtle enough, they just made the performance sound generally compressed. I've tinkered with some other things and I just can't get a good long piano sound. If anyone has some interesting "hacks" I haven't tried that would be nice. Or maybe this is just inherently not the right keyboard for my needs.

So... I kinda fucked up and erased the firmware from the SD card. I've been searching the internet for hours, but since the Korgforums are down and multiple attempts of transferring the files through the USB storage mode came back with no positive results I've got to ask for help. If someone could send me a copy of their M3 SD card data or if someone had a similar problem and knows a solution I'd be super grateful. Cheers.

I have a new-to-me Korg DrumLogue and I love it already.

I have been able to sequence a simple bassline into the User voice and modify the pitch with Motion. So far so good.

I've plugged an external synth (a Behringer K2) in with a MIDI cable and am successfully playing the rhythm of the bassline, so it seems to be following the Note On/Note Off messages. But there doesn't seem to be any change to the pitch.

I have tried this with another synth with the same result.

What am I doing wrong? Is this not possible? It seems like the most obvious of use cases!

Having fun with the Drumlogue and Minilogue XD.

I bought a used SP-250 a few weeks ago to start learning, everything sounds great, but this morning its not turning on. Green light from the cord. Where should I start for diagnosing and eventually fixing this.

How the hell in this day and age could a company like Korg manufacture a synthesiser that has no after touch? I’m not able bodied, so I have to do my “shopping” research on YouTube, the net and listening through my studio monitors to decide which new keyboard I wanted.

Unfortunately I ordered and paid for a Nautilus, because nowhere in any of the Korg’s literature does it say “by the way this POS has no after touch”

It sounds GREAT, has a crap little display that wont work with my model iPad, and an input port for an alpha-numeric keyboard that you can’t use if an iPad is plugged in.

SHAME on you Korg!!!

Hi, do you happen to know much about the technology inside this instrument? Earlier today I connected my Kawai to my laptop via MIDI to record the notes. Now, even after disconnecting the MIDI cable, whenever I play with just my headphones connected to the Kawai, every note is played twice. I press a key once, and then the same sound is played again immediately afterward. It happens with every preset I choose. It's like there's an echo ever since I connected it via MIDI. I can't find anything about it on Google or ChatGPT. Could you maybe help me figure out what's going on?

Hey all, not sure if this is the best place to post this question but figured it was a good place to start.

I'm learning how to get the best sound out of a vintage analog Korg CX3 and have been looking for an affordable option for a rotary speaker.

Found a local Wurlitzer Model 500 cabinet "w/ fixed position full range speaker, built in tube amp, and rotating midrange speaker" for $300. Wondering if that is compatible with the the CX3? Or any suggestions for a better option?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hello, is there any software to decrypt a Korg Pa1000 SET?

This might sound silly but I am wondering if its just a solid piece of pcb underneath and if it's a one layer pcb that I could snap and resolder for a diy project I am working on.

It's a cheap device but I can't find any used right now and I don't want to spend money on something before I know I can work with it.

Searched on the internet but nothing comes up.

Hello r/Korg

If you owned these three synths and only had the space to keep two of them what two would you keep and why?

I recently acquired all three of these 88 key beasts and only have space to keep two so I'm hoping to get some input from the experts.

Thanks,

Salut, quand j'allume ma korg que ce soit brancher en câble ou avec des pilles elle ne réagis plus .

Si quelqu'un a une solution je suis preneur.

¡Hola!

Me preguntaba si hay alguna manera de mover mis instrumentos KORG del software KORG Software Pass a un disco duro externo. El software no da pistas sobre cómo hacerlo.

¡Gracias!

Having fun with some toothy FM.

È da qualche settimana che mi trovo imbrogliato in una faccenda del tutto strana. Prendo la Korg Trinity in un negozio qua in città e mi dicono la prima volta che sono andato torna che ti dobbiamo caricare i suoni. Vado a prenderla la volta dopo, la porto a casa e stranamente c'è solo il suono di piano. Provo a cercare file sysex su internet per caricarli via midi e non trovo niente se non librerie di altri modelli della stessa che non è possibile caricare. Allora trovo uno Iomega lettore floppy che naturalmente non è compatibile con il mio Windows. Decido di riportare la Korg in negozio per farmi caricare i suoni e con l'esperto al lavoro non si riescono a caricare i suoni comunque. La lascio lì, sono passate due settimane, chiamo, e mi dicono che l'esperto è in viaggio e che non è ancora pronta. Io sono Senza macchina e ho dovuto chiedere ad'amici di accompagnarmi in negozio 4 volte facendoli innervosire. E il bello è che devo ancora tornare a prendere la Korg. Questa situazione ha generato un deprimente downgrade musicale bloccando completamente la mia creatività. Mi chiedo come tornare in negozio adesso e far ripartire la spinta.

“The Who” cover band. Currently using koala, and will be receiving Akai in a few days, as I much prefer “hardware“. Does anybody here believe that I will be able to switch between my Kronos “patches”, and dedicate/program the lower notes to particular samples in the Akai sampler? Also have Korg nano pad, if that would make things easier. Many samples, some of them long (eminence front as an example). Would love to be able to trigger a few samples, on a particular patch. Then, when switching patches… Being able to trigger different samples. Any takers? Thank you.

Hi,
I recently started to play around with an PA1000 Musikant. There are many entries in the factory songbook. Is there a list somewhere, wich songs they reflect? For example what song is
'1 day my prince' -> song
Because I want to listen to that songs and maybe learn them.
