I want U.S. instrument manufacturers to flourish. I want to be able to order things like the voice expansion for my Rev 2 and not have to worry about additional fees. I want companies like Moog, Groove Synthesis and all the small manufacturers to do well. If having fewer tariffs in place supports that, great.

“…people like you…”

You mean the majority of US citizens?

The popular vote, the Electoral College, and all seven swing states.
Most US citizens didn’t want the alternative.

“cool, i’m working on some slackjawed hilbilly plugins for it. you’ll love it. especially you.”

Again, more hate.

“It was obviously a prologue. you must have been smoking the stupid unwrapping attempts the AI fanboi’s do.”

Again, more hate. I asked a legitimate, sincere question. There is much speculation online. Yes, to most, including me, it seems to be a successor to the Prologue, but many have speculated otherwise. There has been no official announcement/reveal from Korg.

fwiw, given the timing of NTS product launches, it was obviously a prologue. you must have been smoking the stupid unwrapping attempts the AI fanboi’s do.

enjoy!

So, that’s an excuse to call the President of the United States, “President Orangutan.”

I’m not so sure “most people hate him” to the extent that the Left leaning is trying to lead people to believe. In fact, if the November 2024 election were to be held again today, the outcome would likely be the same.

LOL. Nice try. Nice skewing. Much of that upswing was at the tail end of Biden’s time in office. Not as hard to go 55% up from Dow, Nasdaq and S&P 500 terrible returns. And much of that upswing was fueled by optimism after the November 2024 election while Biden was still in office.

Anyone with a 401(k) can tell you that their nest egg took a significant hit while Biden was in office.

That’s exactly what Trump and the Republicans dish out every day – disrespect for veterans, women, immigrants, God, Jesus and everything holy.

That’s why most people hate him.

The stock market went up over 55% under Biden. Sounds like you must have invested very badly.

LOL. I’m not a massive fan of the current president, but my investments are doing fantastic since he’s been in office (couldn’t say the same under the previous administration). Of course, many on the Left deny that the presidency has anything to do with this. “Orange Man always bad.” The reality is that the presidency does impact the markets:

https://www.usbank.com/investing/financial-perspectives/market-news/stock-market-under-trump.html

The presidency and related policies also impact gas and grocery prices, which aren’t stellar right now. If a Democrat gets back in the office as a result, that does not automatically mean that the cost of living will go down significantly for the Middle Class. But my investments and your investments/wealth would perhaps see a downturn.

If you don’t like the President of the United States, have a platform and policies that appeal to the majority of US citizens and stick with them (i.e., don’t run as a Centrist and then immediately turn far Left as soon as you get elected), and run a better candidate next time.

Meanwhile, I am also looking forward to a Prologue 2. Where have you confirmed that the synth prototype that Korg has under wraps at Superbooth is in fact a Prologue 2? I sure hope it is.

Pretend much? I remember the days when most Presidents respected the office of the presidency and the people of the country.

give it up bro. everyone knows he’s a crook, pedo, and phony but you.

meanwhile, looking forward to pre-ordering that Prologue II. woooooooo!!!! the extra memory and CPU will help a lot with better physical modeling implementations and wavetables. i wish they had more mutltiengine params though, the better access to modulators helps not having to build those in too. always starved for something in developerland.
