Hi all.
Any insight into the meaning behind the name Krome?

KRONOS, OASYS, Triton, Trinity are all powerful words that have a lot of meaning on many levels, but ….Krome ?

I'd say something of it was a Silver keyboard Laughing

Regards
Sharp.

The cynic in me thinks its simply called that, to make people who have heard about the Kronos but are new to this hobby, to think they are getting a cut down version with the new Krome, rather than a souped up M50.

KRONOS Mini Edition.

One thing's for sure, Conan the Barbarian swears by it.

As Ojust said its simply a deception, KROme-KROnos into pulling people
into thinking they are getting a Triton-TR difference which is not the case.

Perhaps Korg Krew wrote down the words 'Kronos' and 'M3'.

Playing around, they then wrote down KroM3... yay; Krome!

Possible that like Microsoft... Korg is just really late with their KROnos Millennium Edition. Unfortunately, we know how that Windows ME release went.

Just by reading everything at Korg about Krome it is only a the little brother of the Kronos just like the M50 was of the M3...

I will be getting a Kronos X1 early next year...
