Well the truth is I do not need to save, I have all the cash I need for the Kronos and the Nord C2 if I so choose. I also have other wants that as of last night I prioritized above them. I prioritized my needs and wants last night and the Kronos is on hold until I acomplish a couple other goals. I will, eventually have a Kronos and a Nord C2, I like the C2 keybed so I am not concerned about redundancy, and I like the portability of the Little Phatty so I will probably add one of them alos, maybe sooner then the others. I travel a lot and it is nice to have some smalll gear to go on the road with me. I have my travel favorites; a mando, an Oldwave Oval A with Blohm tuner buttons, or my Martin 000-18GE, or the wave drum. I want some PA speakes, a new computer, a garage, a deck, to finish my basement, the point is there is always something. Even with some cash on hand you have to prioritize and make the right choices. Mine is eliminate all debt, other then my mortgage, in the next 10 months . I'll appproach that after the Credit bills are gone, but not at the expense of having some fun with my family and meeting there needs and wants also. The bug is crushed and I know where in the order I have made of my life, the Kronos sits. You have all helped thank you. I am sold on a Kronos but just not right away.

Sharp should make a pop up when you click on the kronos section that reads

@ Bertotti,

In your position I certainly would not get the Kronos.. there is a significant learning curve in understanding ANY new synth.. and Kronos is not ONE new synth... If you want to play and enjoy nice organ tones..then get the instrument that gives that to you.

But, since you originally came here thinking microkorg.. why not get also some sort of VA to learn and practice soundshaping?.. an Alesis ION, Access Virus A, Korg MS2000, Novation Nova, Supernova, Gaia, JP8000... these are all <=$500 and all can make great sounds and have enough knobs and buttons to avoid menu diving.

So you can have tremendous fun at low $$ learning to do more than play presets... and still have the organ tones you want in a Nord.

cheers..

p.s. to all.. "no bugs"??? ROFL

before you plump for the uK, as it has the same sound engine as the MS2000 but not the 35 knobs and 49 buttons, you should checkout..

This whole role playing game is complete nonsense.

Bertotti, each time someone tells me I should convince him/her to buy something, I just say one word: "No."

Why?
I'm not even a tiny bit interested in doing the job this person has to do for himself/herself: check alternatives and make a decision. Concrete questions about certain advantages/disadvantages are ok. Pushing the burdon of arguing and providing all clues neccessary for a decision to others, without even knowing the situation of the person who really has to decide, is nothing but a totally silly game.

And it becomes even more silly when this person changes the background of the decision arbitrary during the thread, like from "poor student mode" to "I can have it all".

Even the original expectation to be pushed back is expecting much too much work from us. We're just too lazy for such sick tasks! Just do your job yourself, and keep up all options, while we have long begun playing Kronos! Laughing

Well gents and ladies if any are present, I am not trying to confuse anyone and I know no one can make up my mind but from outside looking in and making comments it helps me sort things out that's all. I madd my decision and oddly enough everyones comments helped me. I realized I do not want one so bad I have to have it now. My priorities are in line with what will make me feel the best, keep everyone in the family happy and get me out of a daily job and mortgage that much sooner. I say I will have some things in a year but truth is if I am not interested in them then then this was nothing but a in the moment kind of whim that would have cost me money I could have used for something with a longer period of enjoyment.

I have no doubt that the Kronos is the Bee's Knees! I found it so stellar in the you tube vids and conversations here I got blinded by the immediate bling of it all! As it is trying to get someone to talk me into something is silly but the arguments did help. Now I am off to take the cash and buy some lumber for my new garage! Something I have wanted a lot longer then a synth! I sure hope you all don't have to wit to long to get your Kronos and I hope the price comes in below what you think! I am looking forward to the links to songs and sounds you all will create. Congratulations on your future acquisition.

Oh and I think I was pretty clear early on that I am not a starving student. I passed that phase long ago and wasn't really starving because I worked three jobs and went to school full time. One benefit of being in the Marines before I started school was the work ethic I learned.
