Sounds interesting and also allows them to update/fix issues if you run into them. It also would (possibly) replace a compute module if it failed.

Pretty much all modern synths allow for software update via USB, SD card or even a few with WiFi/Ethernet. Korg has released various fixes and feature updates over the last few years for these synths, but most manufacturers stop adding new things after a couple of years. As for replacing the compute module, some people have suggested that there may be some fuckery going on that prevents you dropping in a new CM and getting your synth working again. I wouldn't doubt that Korg has things "serial number" locked or something like that to prevent such an easy fix from being done.

Hummm, Sounds like something to point out to Louis Rossmann. If you bought it, you own it. You should be allowed to replace parts and if they are doing something like that it should be pointed out and reverse engineered.

Korg is a Japanese synth maker so I don't think Louis will be very effective there. Also, musicians don't want to DIY their own repairs. They will pay top $$$ to get their shit repaired or replaced if it means they can keep on doing there job without a hassle. While I personally buy a lot of gear that is broken and repair it myself, the custom chips and other components you can't buy is more likely going to make repairs difficult or impossible. I've never had to replace a microprocessor or microcontroller in any gear so that's probably the least likely thing to fail anyway.
