|
|
It's been 4 years since Kronos 2 and things have gotten mightly quiet around these here parts. Anyone hear any rumors for a new keyboard release in 2019? Anything at NAMM 2019? _________________ Pa5x, Yamaha Genos, ForeScore |

look about 20 topics down
" Kronos Replacement Blues"
As expected, since this is a Kronos forum, so our remarks focus on that and/or Korg.
I am interested in what Roland might do.
If you like speculation discussion, there is typically 1 discussion every 2 weeks.
Plus " Latest News " as some chat. _________________ Kronos 88. MODX8

Maybe Roland will re announce a new synth rebirth of the JD-800 but with more voices (128 insted of 24) and more parts in a performance (8 instead 4)...
And in “Midi mode” every performance can keep their original effects setting... |

Do you have a solid information about this ? |

We probably won't get a Kronos replacement since I think it's safe to say Kronos is still King of the workstations but I do strongly believe we will get a new Tuner |

There is a Volca... there is always a new Volca.
I'm guessing it will be the VolKron, a complete Kronos replacement, twice the power of the current Kronos and fits in your satchel. Only down side is you have to play it with a stylus like a Stylophone. _________________ Neil

The new Volca was announced or disclosed in a Korg podcast. The VP of Marketing was there- I think they are promoting a new name in a contest.
The board is not of interest to me, so I am sketchy on details. _________________ Kronos 88. MODX8

So Yamaha did produce cheaper version of Montage and Korg will put more expensive version of Kronos just because we want it 🙄 |

exactly.
Lets all spin around, make a wish and snap our fingers 3 times and see it come true
In a way, I will be glad when NAMM 2019 is over, Actually Day 1 or 2 , the major product announcements are done.
Co's like Korg might do a 10 day teaser countdown. I really dislike this marketing gimmick. Yes, I am old[er]. _________________ Kronos 88. MODX8
