I encourage Korg users to address this as well.
If you like pipe organs, buy a quality subwoofer ( like affordable KRK 12sHO
), otherwise no library can fix pipe’s deficiency.

I am surprised if buyers actually do not consider keyboard (LS) , weighed vs unweighed.

I would buy the LS tomorrow but for 2 things:-
No aftertouch
Keybed has really cheap feel - was hoping it would be more unweighted-synth feel.
My local dealer has had one in for a long time and every time I go into the store I try the LS again in the stupid hope that I'll like it better. As much as I would really prefer an unweighted 76/73, if Korg did produce one with this same LS88 keybed feel I would not buy. An LS88 with a Kronos-1 61 or PA4X-76 keybed feel !!!!

Oh well, it's all subjective and personal in the end.

thats a good point about the necessity of a sub.

I use.a cerwin Vega 12" sub for my home studio audio. Not using any special routing for bass/drums from Kronos . My audio interface has a few sets of audio outs and have audio cables from the AI to the subwoofer. Get a strong result-capture a variety of low frequency.

Lots of folks, esp gigging keyboard players would prefer an unweighed/light weight 76/73 Kronos class . That key size model is a good compromise for us folks that primarily use 88 [ I feel restricted on 61].

Too bad that the LS is sort of a botched compromise. with no AT.

I think Roland has this figured out with their configurations. For example, my FA-07 is is a 73 light weight solution.
