just picked up my Kore 2 hardware from where it's been gathering dust in a corner of my studio, given it a bit of a clean, plugged it in... and... ooh! it's really rather lovely! all brushed metal, shiny and sleek, stylish, solid and weighty... such nice knobs

I think I could love you again Kore!

Dust off your Kore folks! Rekindle the old flame!!

just thought I'd share

Kore's been getting a regular servicing here.

Kore's a great instrument, very flexible. I still use the 16 out version regularly but I no longer host plug-ins in it and I only use official soundpacks and the internal engines now. Don't have the hardware though. It's a shame NI dropped it but that's a whole other bag of worms

I only have Kore Player, but use it still. Like it a lot. Very hands on.

Will the Kore Software become public domain at some point?

Kore is still the centre of everything I do. Until I can find a satisfactory replacement, it'll stay that way.

No.

I would dust it off IF those five of eight knobs would still be working flawless and not slipping parameters wildly and erratically up and down. This clearly isn't a software issue. It's a hardware failure. I wonder if it helps to open up the casing completely and see if I can fix anyhting (e.g. by cleaning) because other than that my KORE 2 controller is a brick thanks to these troubles.

Nice. Been a follower on your SC for ages, didn't realise you used Kore so much.

Kore is awesome - I do hope software signing on Mountain Lion doesn't kill it

I've heard of (and had) Kore 1 controllers with those issues, but not Kore 2 controllers. Ouch =(

As to Kore, I still use it a lot; it's the first plugin I load in my other hosts, and I run both Maschine and Kore standalone for my live rig. There's so many things that I can do in Kore as far as routing goes that I can't do with Maschine.

Thanks and cheers. Kore has been indispensable for me. It gets used in nearly everything I do and some pieces are nearly all Kore.

Not really dropped is it... there just won't be Kore2. Still works perfectly well and is converted to run on 64 bit...

I think you mean won't be Kore 3. And it might not work perfectly with the next Mac update - in fact there's a good chance it won't if this signing thing affects everything that is already installed as well as new software.

I was thinking installing it on my new pc, do I need the CD or can I just download the latest update ?

kore blimey!
