I am afraid that we will not get OS updates, any more. I am very sad because of that! Kronos OS have many spaces for updates. I would like that I am not right (about updates). If you know something about that (updates), please share your comment with us. Thank you.

I personally don't think there will be another OS update.

I have offered my 2 cents that Kronos is at EOL for some months here.

Since Korg does not discuss or even hint at W/s plans we are stuck guessing.

So no one 'knows ' anything about Korgs plans. Since we don't work for Korg.

But yes, if you look at the facts, no more updates should be expected for our 7 year old Kronos'.

7 yrs is a great product run, in todays tech turbulent device world. No more updates does not prevent us from making great music with our K's.

There was a bug topic a few months ago, and Dan Phillips, a member of Korg design team, known as Danatkorg here, told us that he could reproduce the bug, and that he would make sure that they will address this issue in the next update.

On NAMM 2018 Nick Kwas said in a video: "Kronos software is continually being developed, were going to continue release firmwareupdates"

another OS update would help sales of the K2 in 2018.

I am glad you found that topic. I forgot about that LFO bug.

And Dan suggests, we should report bugs to our local distributor.

from where I sit, seeing is believing. Over 13 months.

To be more clear, us Kronos owners want new features in an update.

Looking at the NAMM 2018 videos w/ Nick Kwas, he and Korg, are focused on new products , Prologue and the Volca line up. I have not found the video where he made a Kronos comment.

To be fair thats the purpose of NAMM, the new, not the old.

I probably side with Greg's view on this one, as it has gone quiet for a long time now compared to about half a dozen updates in the first two years of my Kronos ownership (which started in 2014).

The flexibility/architecture of the Kronos means updates are easier copared to a more hardware oriented synth. It would be nice to see some extra sound engines making it into the Kronos. I'd even be happy to pay for such an upgrade.

So assume the worst, and you may pleasantly surprised if Korg do an update.

In the meantime we have an amazing synth to play with. Smile

Maybe the fact that there was no updates for a long time can be a hint for a new generation flagship workstation from Korg in the near future\next year.
What do you think?
