One of the few synths I truly regret to have sold. It was and still is one of KORG's masterpieces. I did let it go as it so hard to repair, due to its design and the support by KORG (no support at all, to be honest). Besides I guess from my experience with KORG all machines coming in a silver case are alike prototypes unleashed to the public. I still have their AM 8000 R and DL 8000 R 19" rack units in my rack. Besides I had a a Radias. Excellent machines, but no support at all. I've asked KORG support here in Germany about 15 years ago for a new OS-ROM for my AM 8000 R ... not available. I've asked them to send me the binary files to write the data on an EEPROM by myself ... response: We do not have access to any binary data. 1970s and 80s synths are easier to repair. Sorry, I'm done with KORG. All they are good at is building superior machines without giving support to the users of their gear. They should rather build disposable razors than synthesizers, as this seems to be the attitude of KORG nowadays.
Ahhh. I just realized you have two youtube accounts featuring your z1. I love this post of yours. This one is very thoughtful and to the heart thank you!
I have Z1 with plenty of great sounds :) Just tell me how to export them and I could share :) I even have unpolished "translation" sounds from Prophecy :)
@@georgefromgreece4119 But why we can't see the dislikes any more. Probably I will sound like the mentalist. But I see no bad comment, while people the music or sound dislike. I can live witth that. Sometimes I wonder what platform this is.
