Topic: Korg MR-1 and MR-1000 - News DSD Recorders announced at AES

@#*$&*%!            No DSD for Panic Spring Tour.

Jerry, you care to comment on this one?

Aside from my displeasure with the news regarding delayed shipment for the 1000s, I'm not too concerned with the 'noise' that has been mentioned in the MR-1 reviews.  It's a noise shaping issue and if you look at the graphs (db v freq) for the PCM1804, they show why and where the problem is coming from.  They will build some more agressive filters and it will all look fine.

I just hope this delay isn't due to the retooling of AudioGate.  Just ship the darn things and put the software up for download from the website.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the units.  They are selling them over in Japan and elsewhere.  I agree with you that the bugs should be taken care of before a product hits the market, but I don't think that there is an issue with the hardware.  I may be wrong, but I had a gut feeling this would happen anyway, and my guess is retooling AudioGate.

Is there a hold switch on the MR1000?  Couldn't find it in the docs.

Unfortunelly, NO.

but it's not a mayor disaster, things don't get easely 'pushed' in work.

It probably dosen't make a very good white russian either.

I just checked with Sweetwater and they are still slated to receive a very limited number of 1000s on 4/9.  Whether or not this will actually happen remains to be seen.  I'm not holding my breath.

Freelunch, a hold button would have been nice, but I'll settle for no gremlins.

Probably time to start a new MR-1000 thread.

it'll have a hold button.  ever see a recorder (digi) that didn't?

Well with this discussion getting to them, if it didn't have a hold button before, I sure they'll put one in with firmware; think press some button for 5 seconds to HOLD button lockout mode

We're getting our first shipment in early next week, so all is good!!

Forget all those bad things I said about you   

dood, you just made my day.

Guess that means I'm SOL on getting one of the first shipments. My sweetwater sales
guy said I was at the top of a very long list. He really made it sound like
Korg was delaying shipment, guess he's just trying to keep me on the hook
there instead of looking elsewhere for one.

Glad 'the dude' is getting one!

I hope I'm on the short list.  I guess it all depends on how many units SW gets.  [fingers crossed/]
