| What update is possible with existing hardware on Kronos if any maybe that is the reason why we don't have update I.e no more space for tweaks? |

the only limit on update wishing is the imagination.

| If that is true then why Korg is not updating Kronos then. |

the boss does not think like I do. Thats for sure.
IOW, it appears Kronos, a 7 yr old W/s , is not a big priority.
New products are the focus. Thats not surprising. I contend a company could do 'both '. especially since the old Kronos and new products are fairly dissimilar.
I think a free features update would solidify K2 sales. And possibly motivate more sales. I suppose thats debatable.
Since the features updates have been free, the free expectation might also be a cost disincentive for a Korg boss. Thus we see nothing... for 13 months and counting.
even so, I enjoy my Kronos immensely. I also think, we should have high standards and get demanding, as best we can.

Thats a tough one. I am not into arrangers but admire their strengths.
You almost have to make a list of pros/cons on each instrument.
The sample streaming on the K is terrific.
Maybe you should cross platform over to your PC or mac for a year , play with VI's and see what shakes out 1 year from now.
Doing nothing is also an option.
