That's the thing... it may have the Korg name, but it has nothing to do with them except the badge on the front... its made by Dexibel.

We're having a little contest, running until the end of March. Please feel free to enter - see the thread in the "I Did That" section of the forum. Don't be shy, have a go!
Korg FISA SUPREMA
- Thread starter kep
- Start date
according to Dexibell, Korg will be making decisions on further sounds development. Korg collaborates with Dexibell’sT2L technology.
Great to see this collaboration, although, I never purchased Dexibel products. As they have some nice high end products…
Kudos to both companies…

Hey Guys!
Thought I would check back in here as it's been a while. Ask Away on Questions!

I cannot find a list of factory scenes in the manual.

Warming up to the Korg now that a lot more thoughts are shared out there. Your longer video of your scenes, in my opinion, is the best video out there on this instrument. There is something in there for everybody and it really highlights the sounds.
Getting to the point of wanting to try one out to get a feel for it and will report back here after.
Cory,
Any hints on new sounds (either Korg/Dexibell) or firmware updates for the instrument?

This a really good question and one I also would be interested in finding out. The Roland came with two banks of UPGs - and they were almost all terrible. I think there was one average one in there - the Xmas music one but that's pretty easy to get right.
It would be great to know how many, and what they are with the Korg right out of the box.
I did send a request to Korg about this. Waiting to hear back. What is good, manuals online can always be updated with the latest.

I mean, there is just the 20x6 = 120 Scenes. You don't really need a manual haha, just click through, try them, and look inside. There are only a few that are Truly ready to go on a gig I will say. But THAT is Why, I was motivated back in August when I got mine, to get RIGHT on my CPEZ 100 Scenes.
Thank You Thomas! Wish I could have been home to make it, but was on the road and wanted to get it out there As Soon as Possible - Literally filmed and edited it all on my phone 1 night. They are having trouble getting them around the world quick enough, but get one when you can! Kevin is actually selling them WITH My Scenes Already on there for no extra cost.
Yes! Fati would have had them out last month, but he had a major surgery, something else occured at the company, And the President of KORG just died at 67 very sadly! - So give it a little time.
Hahaha, well I never had an 8X outside of for tests for Roland and my Evo. So I Barely know what UPG's even are haha. So I'm not sure what "What are they with the KORG?" means as a question? Unless you mean how they are organized, which is 100 Pages of 6 Scenes each, so 600 to work with.
lots of open space for your own scenes. Then again you can over write the 20 banks? Thanks Cory…
From what I understand there are 3 main areas of sounds --> Accordion, Organ, and Orchestral.
My question is: In a given Scene, can the Accordion, Organ, and Orchestral sounds be programmed into any of the 14 register switches in any combination? Or does Scene "A" have to be all Accordion sounds for the 14 registers and then Scene "B" 14 organ sounds, and Scene "C" 14 orchestral sounds?

Yes, Absolutely.
Actually 5 - Those 3, and Synth, and Solo (with an Orchestra 2 button, like the Roland). BUT No, You can do whatever you want in each register, like the Roland. The only complicated thing is How you Can and Can Not layer them. Like, you can do Accordion Sound + Solo Orchestra + Orchestra, but Not Orchestra 1 + Orchestra 2 + Organ.

Cory - Can you address your thoughts on the bellows action of the Korg now that you've been playing it for a few months?
I have had my FR-8X for almost 10 years and really like the bellows - but I don't know what I don't know. I've read the Korg literature on the amount of time and research they put into making the bellows response better than any prior reedless instrument and that interests me a lot.
I know you personally never liked the FR-8X and far preferred the FR-7 but I can't remember the reasons. Something about it being extremely uncomfortable to play standing up after an hour or something along those lines. I could be incorrect.
Is it that you can just get more nuanced response from the bellows than the Rolands? It's an ambiguous question and probably difficult to answer. Thanks.

Thanks Cory - Just so I understand your reply -- . . . "BUT No, You can do whatever you want in each register, like the Roland."
. . . Did you mean -- . . . "BUT No, You can NOT do whatever you want in each register, like the Roland." . . .
Also,, if I am playing an orchestral part using the tone list on p. 102 & 103 of the Manual, can I use tones 0133 - 0150, from the Soloist list, in the orchestral part. Or, do I have to be in "Solo" mode to use those tones?

Thats a very similar limitation for the Roland, just in case someone is wondering. There are only 3 FX engines and Orch 1 and Orch2 use the same FX engine. Seems Korg could have easily addressed this and had some potential for even more incredible options... maybe in the next one.
Put it on a wish list. Address this to Korg. As future firmware upgrades may happen when we present our feedback to Korg. There were many issues with the Korg PA5x. Without feedback it would have never progressed to what it is today.
