Ketron, AJ, anyone who knows...

what's the status?
this week is almost over :-)

just be straight up, and tell it like it is.
honesty greatly admired and appreciated

thanks...

Beta's tend to be ready when they are ready...

I am sure you'd prefer them not to rush it out unfinished, wouldn't you?

Roland have always been FAR more secretive and professional (never ever saw a Roland beta leaked) than Ketron when it comes to this. You only frustrate your customers even WORSE by pre-announcing a new OS long before it's ready to go. Plus, ironclad NDA's should be enforced. It only confuses things and leads to VERY bad press when a beta gets in the hands of the unaware public.

Despite all the whining about missing features (I've done my share of it!), I think Ketron really should make an OS upgrade that deals with NOTHING but stability in the playback engine. I mean, what's the POINT of a sampler or style editing, if the basic style playback crashes?

Sure, no NEW features is going to p!ss a bunch of owners off. But, trust me on this one (happened with the G70), nowhere NEAR as pissed off as they are going to be when new features get added, but old bugs and crashes still continue...

Ketron... Job 1 is no crashes. Job 2 is NO crashes. Job 3 is (you guessed it!) NO CRASHES!

Probably too late for OS3, but OS3.1 should be maintenance fixes ONLY.

Hahahahaha...

Are you kidding me???

Had to turn it off. did the update again, this time it worked ok. It still says OS 20C when loading, when playing a reg. for a few sec's it all stops, sounds hanging. startbutton still lights. When restarting same thing happens again. Before I updated I downloaded the file once more to be sure. Think I'll try OS 20C again.

Why you turn off? You should press Enter to complete update.

Huuuh, Probably something wrong with the downloaded file. Another try and all seems to be OK again. Says OS30 when loadeing and the kb plays normally again. Dont know what happens, I have fiberconnection into my house, good download speed. Don't have time to check out OS30, I'm not where I suppose to be right now.
