MATRIXSYNTH: Is Kore a Nightmare?

Is Kore a Nightmare?

Title link takes you to a post on the CDM forums with the following posted by Vincent. I was wondering about this ever since my dongle post. It's a 10 pound dongle. They should have shipped with a mini dongle for times when you don't want to use the controller. Say composing out in the park or in your comfy recliner. If any one has anything to add please feel free to comment.

"I just returned KORE after 3 weeks of unknowingly being an unpaid alpha tester...

What a nightmare. Just read NI's KORE forum and you'll see what I mean. I don't know if/how NI will fix this.

They've made the KORE hardware a 10 pound dongle, and since it must be attached to run and sends control messages through usb audio it requires a fair amount of cpu even if you don't want to use it...

Sounds like some of you guys are inside industry types that may know the guys at NI, if so, someone please have a talk with them... "

    Again, if they hire *ME*, I will save them from themselves.

    But now that their tush is in the fire, my fees will be higher.
