I heard that they will be releasing a new OS for the Kronos in a few days is that true?

Shame they haven't the same urgency to release back orders that people are waiting for....

All well and good releasing a new OS,but half the people haven't even got their Kronos's yet!!! Rolling Eyes

The source was robbinhood in this thread (see below). He's corresponded with Korg at some length and depth over some bugs he found, so I would consider him a reliable source.

Dan chimed in after robbinhood's post and did not confirm or deny it. I would think if it was a crazy rumor, Dan would have dispelled it then and there...

I expect the people making the editor could be the same as making a new OS.

Do people actually work on assembly lines nowadays? I thought it was all automated.

I remember in Dec 1999 when i had just bought the newly released Kurzweil K2600 and was chatting on Sonikmatter, a Kurzweil person stated that the assembly line process was automated...didnt require many people to put the keyboard together.

I guess it will be the same for Korg. The main resources will go to sampling/sound engineering and software engineering. And overhead (not meant in a negative way) like marketing, product support, sales etc.

I'm surrounded by people who could run Korg anytime.

At the same time none can tell me anything about editor and OS-Update. Laughing

I seriously think that the only way this keyboard can fail is through bad marketing. Sound preferences and shortcomings aside, from a technical viewpoint this this blows the competition so far out of the water it's not even funny anymore. The problem is "the masses" usually have no idea about SSDs or "different methods of synthesis". So it has to be marketed well. I hope they did some Q&A-ing with Steve Jobs or something.
