I've used the 1k a bunch at home and only once now at a show, but the 1k was a few feet away from a huge subwoofer with good amounts of LF vibration and no issues.  I just ran it in it's case and it was fine.  YMMV, this was with the updated firmware. 

peace, chris

O.K.
I just got home from a small trip around the country, and saw that a local official korg dealer are sellin' the mr-1000s for a 650e ... ?
I'm very wondered why the price is droped to this rediciolus amount of money .. ???
is it possible that they decide to drop the project devolopment & investment, or plan something new to release ?
Just some odd toughts...

Nevertheless, this baby still grooves  8)

cheers!

OK, had my first experience with the issue last night.  The recorder stopped twice during the show with a "Disk Too Busy" error, and I heard at least one series of brief skips in a song a few minutes later.  There was some vibration, but the Korg was tucked into a Sonicase and had foam on the sides to keep it in place.  Bag was on the floor though (concrete).  Maybe vibrations through the back of the machine?  It wasn't THAT loud in there, although the bag was about 6-7 feet from the back of one of the guitar amps.

Jerry, what's the deal?  I'm running 1.5.1 and I thought this was fixed?

These hard drives are not very well protected from vibrations and they are not your typical notebook drive. Just a heads up since I have one open for modification purposes.

Thinking about yanking the POS and putting in a regular 2.5 drive, 5400rpm.  Maybe surrounding it with foam like the Sound Devices.  Who knows?

Got any thoughts on possible mods to allow for the use of a 2.5 drive?

Any chance of using something like a Sandisk 32 GIG flash hard drive replacement.  I've heard there's now a 2.5 inch IDE flash drive available.  If so, then many mechanical issues of disk drives in some portable decks might be avoided, and battery life should almost double.

I will look further into the replacement options and get back to you all.

I've had it open..., I think that there is a solid chance of an HDD upgrade, at least.
there is lots of room in there.
(and pics of one open someplace in the recorder threads..)

The SandisK SSD (solid state disc, basically a bunch of flash memory with an ATA disc interface) is pricey, but it should be a plug and play swap.  Sandisk provides versions in the 2.5 inch format for SATA, Ultra ATA and SCSI interface.

FWIW - Sandisk also makes a 1.8" SSD drive.

Honestly I don't feel a firmware revision could fix this issue, it is usually caused by vibration in the floor from my experience. I just got back from a four show run without any issues what so ever. I ran on the floor from one show but we were about 50 feet away in typical FOB fashion. I think until we are writing to flash media or running SD series 7XX recorders this will be an issue.

honestly...i'm quite surprised (or...impressed?) that my MR1 hasn't had one burp yet.  that sucker gets HOT though...
I run it in its pleather case, which doesn't' help.  and in a gear bag...w/a rain fly over it.

Depends.

For the sound quality, absolutely.  For mission critical recording, I guess it would depend on if you are running a backup.  None of my field uses have been mission critical, so for me it's not a problem.  My unit is still going back to Korg for replacement (or whatever) as soon as I get around to it.  The 32gb SSD drive is something I'll definitely be doing in the near future as well.

It seems Sandisk has also produced a whopping 64GIG flash hard drive found at http://www.sandisk.com/OEM/ProductCatalog(1320)-SanDisk_SSD_UATA_5000_18.aspx.  Likely costs nearly as much as the deck?
