I don't think there's any change. I think in some cases when a product isn't out yet, there may be an automated guess at availability for an item that is "out of stock", when it's never been in stock.
Here's the list of likely online vendors (I'm sure there are more):
8th Street - ???
American Musical Supply - Feb 14
Audio Midi - ???
Chuck Levin's - April
Giga Sonic - ???
Kraft Music - April 18
Musicians Buy - ???
Nova Musik - April
Pro DJ Supply - May
Sam Ash - ???
Same Day Music - ???
Sweetwater - Spring
Zzounds - Feb 24
Birdland Music - not listed
Guitar Center - not listed
Interstate Music - not listed
Midi Store - not listed
Musician's Friend - not listed
Pro Sound and Stage Lighting - not listed |

there is no change. You can't believe everything you read on those store sites.
Go by what Korg says.

I sold my XS7 last week, it is a great board.
However, I expect the Kronos to greatly outperform all the current romplers, including the XS.
With that, I will have turned over my entire rig by April.

ZZounds is part of AMS. No wonder their dates are about the same and WAY wrong.

I am pretty sure Dan Phillips has mentioned April as the projected delivery date. I would guess he would know more than the stores.

there is a topic already started on this:
http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=58745
In the US, SW has consistently said , the past 2 weeks, the estimated delivery date is May 4 in the US.
I would go by that since they should know.

They aren't quite in production yet! They may well become available in Japan a few weeks before they are elsewhere, due to transportation time - but it doesn't take two months to get across the ocean (anymore - thank goodness!).

My best bet would be early May |

You know the general rule for new products release times announced at Winter NAMM, and what NAMM stands for, right?
NAMM: Not Available until Maybe May

Just chatted with a sales rep from american musical supply.
| Quote: | <Anonymous>: I was checking out the new upcoming Krog Kronos and I wanted to confirm its shipping date
<Anonymous>: its says on your website that it will be available on monday, yet the people at korg talk about a spring release (around april)
<Matt>: The date that we have online is the date that the manufacturer has given to us as an estimate.
<Anonymous>: are there any plans to receive a shipment from Korg by that date ? i.e. can you garantee you will receive the units by then
<Matt>: I have no way to guarantee that date, no |
P.S. I'm Anonymous... actually I believe it's we that are Anonynous but w/e |
