I agree… get Marco on the phone!

Thing is, as the market dwindles, as sales fall, as margins get ever slimmer, it appears that the budget to launch new products with wow factor videos and demos grows ever smaller.

Then you get these underwhelming intro videos which discourage rampant upgrading envy, sales underwhelm, less money comes in, you get a nasty feedback loop that spirals downwards…

Mind you, we are also part of this feedback loop. You can’t believe the inventiveness over at Korgforums as anticipation and leaks got ahead of Korg’s release schedule, and as demo videos have naturally got to be the absolute last thing that gets done, there was little patience from the base. Maybe another month for great demonstrators to investigate the new features and get the most out of them would have made a bigger splash at launch, but leaks pretty much put the kibosh on that!

We simultaneously want immediate full information AND deep demonstration of features and sounds that must be new to the demonstrator team. I’m afraid the two seem mutually exclusive…
