r/Korg

Been looking at hardware synths for the past few months and have narrowed it down to these three.. i do love the idea of analog however the minifreak sounds really interesting and fun to design patches on! I know if i spend a lil more money i can get a take 5 or teo-5, so those aren’t out of the question. I would be pairing this with my mpc live 2… I’ve only sound designed on vsts and would love to further my knowledge on this topic and have something i can grow into and have for a good while. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated!

Trying to update the Kronos 3 to 3.2.1 via usb update and it failed bricking the keyboard. Finally got a dvd burner and dvd’s. Burned the 3.2.1 accessory disk ISO and tried a full format and install and it has also failed. Does anybody have an ideas? Can anyone tell me why in 2026 Korg is still relying on outdated media to install the OS? Seems crazy that you can’t install ~24GB worth of data on USB stick.

Hey everyone. I've been using the nanoKONTROL2 for years, but when I tried to set up a new live rig recently, I realized the official editor basically doesn't work on modern macOS.

I build studio tools for myself anyway, so I decided to code a workaround. I made a native Mac app called NanoBridge. Instead of slowly flashing the hardware memory, it intercepts the raw MIDI and routes it through a virtual port.

This basically gives the old controller modern features:

• Unlimited presets that you can switch on the fly (even using physical buttons).
• Batch mapping (map 8 faders sequentially in 2 seconds).
• Proper Program Changes and "Radio Groups" (pressing one button turns off the others in that group).

I made a video showing how it fits into my workflow for Logic Pro and live synths. It's my first time talking on camera and English isn't my native language, so I really hope what I'm saying is understandable despite the accent! 😅

I’m sharing the app on my Patreon, but I hate software subscriptions. There's no DRM—if you subscribe, download it, and cancel the same day, that version of the app is yours to keep forever.

Would love to know what you think, or if you have any other old controllers lying around that could use a software rescue!

PS - I don't use Reddit much, so I really hope sharing this here doesn't break any rules. Let me know if I need to change anything!

Hi everyone!

I got a Sample 2 (which I really enjoy) and I'm looking to fill up a rack of 4. Now it's time for decisions and I seek your wisdom.

If you had to choose three out of all the Volcas (excluding Sample), which would you pick to cover the most ground?

On another note, the Volca Mix looks like a nice tool to manage the whole thing, but is it worth it or should I save this space on the rack for another instrument Volca?

I'm also planning on getting a Minilogue xd soon so that might also play into the equation...

Thanks!

I just started using reaper to send midi from the daw to my sq-1 sequencer. which in turn plays my Korg MS-20 Mini.

Reaper V7.71 Win64
Windows 11 home

Reaper recognizes the sequencer, with Ctrl and Midi out both set to enable and clock:

reaper midi output

When starting a midi track I can see the instructions go by. The sequencer comes to live, but starts playing its 16 hardware set notes instead of the ones from the midi track.

This is an old problem, I browsed and read a lot, but I can't find a solution for my problem.

Please advice!

Sincerely,

Ton

Hey

I have following problem: yesterday I downloaded some soundpacks by Ian Dixon on my Editor/Librarien and Module. I can choose the Performance on both, but there is no posibility to choose the multisamples from the Performances for themselves. Is this normal? I thought when I load a Performance I can without problem use the multisamples for editing or creating New Performances. The Samples are listed in my editor librarien but not on my Module. I cannot Pick them for creating New stuff. I downloaded the newest Version of the editor/librarien Software and the Module. I tried it with the NCM - RNDIS options. It did not work. Can someone help me please?

Hi, I got a used NTS 1 that was working fine, but then the headphone jack came detached. It looks like it fell off with out a rough break. Does anyone know can I just solder it back on? I am not at all familiar with electronics, but I would love to fix this if possible. I appreciate any and all advice, thanks!
