So its just 2 weeks and 2 days (and counting) to Musikmesse 2011 - how exciting.

Korg are going to show the Kronos to loads of potential (excited, but not yet convinced) European customers....wish I could get time off work and see if the hype really is worth it (from all the vids I have seen - I am still loving it...)

So.........

I guess we'll get to hear what the European prices and release dates are going to be.............. right??.............. Hey Korg..........Right???


Just imagine the panic going round the Korg pricing team right now (if they aren't panicing they ought to be)......................

Come on Korg do the right thing, don't over price the Kronos, use it to kill off Yamaha and Roland.............. at least untill they come out of their comas and develop some new technology.

Good luck with those spreadsheets and projections..

Maybe Kprg will announce a bunch of game changing upgrades that people here have been wanting even before the official release!

Absolutely not. Korg is focused on finishing the initial software release.

Dunno if it's going to be announced at Messe or not. But right before the show, there's finally an official word about Ableton Live 9 and a mystery twit from Nova Musik.

Moog Guitar with a transparent cover over the electronics cavity, I'm guessing.

Hehe..may be. But I'm reffering to this one,"Big big news coming from Ableton Live very soon!!!! You should be excited!"

New Synth??

http://roland.co.uk/

Looks like something with keys and knobs (seen those on the V-Synth before).... there are rumours of the name "Jupiter".... "The spirit of a legend re-emerges" being reused.

Will it be shipping in Europe before Christmas....

This was on the Roland_US site and it got replaced - the UK didn't change their website. I guess since the GAIA last year they've been working on something a bit more ambitious....

I'm hoping that if it is a new VA - which is likely, I doubt Fantom G is getting the boot - that Roland is making something like a JD-2000 rather than a basic Jupiter VA. I have a JP-2000 and it does sound decent enough to hold onto in the face of my Virus and Radias, and the synth market is already glutted with quite a few VAs already, but who knows? A Jupiter-X with great sounding filters - come on Roland, you can do it this time - could garner then some decent sales, especially if it's priced right. But with Gaia already there, this had better be something special. Here's hoping for a JD...

Interesting, may be something like the hardware version of Omnisphere with a decent interface. I also like to see a real analog monosynth, like the Monotron version of the SH line, with keys, midi, a better user interface and a low price.

at NAMM they whored off Fantom G pretty badly, they rented them out to a LOT of companies (like ultimate) for display and stuff, i highly doubt its getting the boot.

Though I do believe a new Fantom or replacement workstation could fit in with their recent, albeit slight erratic, release cycle. The original FA76 was released in 2001, Fantom S in 2003, Fantom X in 2004 and Fantom G in 2008. I'm hoping so anyway as it'd be a suitable replacement for my X7 to complement a Kronos 73 (replacing my M3-88).

I have just read about omnisphere - a hardware version of that would be awesome - I lost count on the number of synthesis engines (ran out of fingers) and 40GB of sounds... Hmmm might get me one of those (if it existed, which I doubt).

Omnisphere 1.5 is over 50GB and 5000+ patches now. Absolutely my favorite VSTi.

Well if you bought one of the Lionstracs Groove X keyboards, then you could load Omnisphere and away you go.
