Just bought Wavestation. Not able to find the pdf manual of this new version. Anyone knows where to find it?

It's unbelievable.
M1, Wavestation, ... all resizable.
And I realized this reading kvr

I have a bittersweet and a very weird impression.
My Pros
Wavestation, M1, Polysix (apart from the FX parameter names) and MDE-X are very readable now at largest size.
My Cons
Even at full window size the MS-20 is still unreadable to a large extent. The small letters are light grey on a dark grey background and they're blurred. It even seems to me the smaller fonts of the previous versions were crisper.
They totally ignored the Odyssey. The fonts are as small as before. No option for bigger/crisper letters.
Mono/Poly window has a beautiful maximum size but the letters are bold/compressed/blurred. It seems that what you gain in screen size you nearly lose all of it in readability. But still better than MS-20.
Now for the weird part: When Polysix or Mono/Poly play a sequence, certain parts of the GUI (those with blinking lights/meters) start to wobble. Stop the sequence and the wobbling is gone. This is on macOS 10.14.6 in Ableton Live 10.1.9.
My overall impression is that this was done without a lot of UI competence. It took them so long and yet they managed to leave certain things to be desired.

Korg. What a bunch of jackasses.
"We changed the price of the KORG Collection plugins. For more information, go to https://support.korguser.net/hc/articles/900000587563"
I click on this link (in the installer) and it takes me to a login screen. It wont log me in without enabling third-party cookies. I click that link... and it fails. Repeatedly. Finally, I edit the URL the cookie-setting link offers so that it's just a standalone login page. I attempt to log in... and it tells me:
"Cannot sign in suspended user #1343624083"
This is because I was an active user of their user-to-user pages, which, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, was locked down. I never broke any rules. I was helpful. I asked questions and participated, is all.
Jackassess.
So how the frell am I supposed to read this article? WHY THE HELL would they require people to LOG IN to read an article linked in the damned installer?
MINDLESS CORPORATE BLINDNESS.
PS: This is price hike notice got my attention because I was considering buying the Mono/Poly and ARP Odyssey. Now... Now I'm just disgusted with their incompetence and arrogance. Why would I throw more money at them? I'm glad this GUI upgrade is free, but, FFS, Korg...!
PS #2: This is exactly the kind of shit I've come to expect from this company in regard to customer service when we are software customers. Korg Corporate have ZERO interest in having a branch of the company that handles English-as-first-language customer care. They throw stuff at us and we either pay for it and take it as-is, or we don't. There's no interaction whatsoever, and I suspect it is corporate culture to utterly treat software customers as nobodies.

YES! finally! easter and Xmas together! 
downloaded the individual installer files via the korg ID account at this link
https://id.korg.com/users/registered-products
worked like a charm, no problem so far (mac, hisierra, AU)
did not have to register/license anything - seems to inherit the old license?
wavestation and monopoly give me crashes in hostingAU
no problems in logicX (latest version)
is there an adress to send korg crashreports ?

reactivating leads to a crash
i've tried a few fixes but nothing for it yet . l'll hold off emailing korg for now , so they can come up with a solution for you to share . rather than them having to emailing me that they received my email and someone will get back to me shortly . . . but if it stays a problem for you i can send them one too.

MS-20 GUI is still full of TINY and BLURRY text! ("extended" size isn't nearly large enough)
WTF? This was how many months/years of work?
EDIT: Cables are slow as shit and the GUI shifts around as you move the cable... FFS...
EDIT 2: Does this look or work better on a high-PPI display?
EDIT 3: Instant crash when clicking on the dropdown button(?) in the MS-20 preset browser (and Polysix, probably anywhere else that exists) where it has a section called "Preview".
