Kore2 blows away Kore1, and actually delivers on the promise of the concept (which 1 failed to do imho). In addition to the above extended comment with examples the gent made, I'll add (and it may sound dumb, but this is the age of plastic, after all) that to the physical hardware device's credit, it's built solid as hell, and the knobs and buttons are obviously (to the touch) of very high quality.

I have the first version, and the audio interface isn't anything to base your studio around but it is workable enough while traveling around with a laptop away from homebase.

Overall, I like Kore's ability to make the whole komplete shebang fairly manageable, putting everything in a one-stop place. On the other hand, it's a crayzay cpu hog.
