This is another issue typical to sample-based hardware synths. The solution is to create a patch yourself that's as close to initialized as you can get it - filters off, effects off, envelopes with a gate shape, all modulations off - then to save that somewhere so you can always recall it. Many sample-based hardware synths have this issue - we're truly spoiled by the init patch option on plugins :). There's no easy way to initialise a fresh patch. I'm sure to the experienced these problems don't exist, but honestly? Arturia will include tutorials in their vst's. To say this is a chore is an understatement. Korg only keeps a pdf copy of the original user manual. These patches will include their own settings abiout which there is no explanation. That means I have to find a patch to include in my performance that has a harp in it, or edit a different patch. For example, I want to build a performance (the overall sound, which can be up to 8 parts big) from a harp sound. Again those parts are not organised by category or sound. You can't select a part by single voice alone, you have to choose an existing patch which can be up to 4 voices big and then work from there. There's no easy way to save a performance. Cute but inconvenient given there are a lot of them, including the wave transients for building wave sequences.
The patches aren't organised by category, just as a series of memory cards. I freely admit this may be my own ignorance as I'm no expert with this synth at all. In their attempt to emulate the architecture of the hardware Korg has produced something that, afaict, is a nightmare to use. I think I may have made a mistake buying this.
