I wouldn't bet on it - but I suppose that it depends upon the reason for the delay. I doubt that it's software, given that it's just a hop, skip and jump away from prior iterations. Hardware supply problems?

I would be pretty happy with a new answer to the MicroArranger.

Something small, self-contained, competent that sounds OK.

The interface is pretty good, in physical terms. They could still get some mileage with a firmware refresh, but I still see real potential in a new generation. It could sit nicely between the MPC One and the Novation Circuit line.

They say that the new touchscreen is the best ever.

Really, who knows?

I would definitely like to hear updates from people as they get a chance to get hands-on with it.

I must admit that I'm surprised - and yet not. They have an actual Kronos back on the market, although what appears to be different about it is largely faster hardware and a bit more on-board storage. I've seen nothing about operational changes like a pianoroll, so what I'm guessing is that KORG ...

It strikes me that the electribe 2 (both versions) is a solid little sequencer that surged ahead of the game in some ways (and slipped in others) about ten years ago, but that in the mean time it has been overtaken by a range of other tools. Is there any idea of whether KORG intends to push the ...

I don't know - it's still a tuner. I've always used guitar pedals and they do a fine job.

Or my ears and a reference tone. That works too.

Folks, let's take a deep breath. KORG is a large company that can do multiple things at once. While I agree that they've been losing direction in their workstation category for a while, this accordion isn't a crazy idea. As I pointed out above, Roland has had electronic accordions for a while, and ...

Of course, they're not entirely unique in this. Roland has been doing electronic accordions for quite a while. I like that they offer button interfaces as well. To some extent, the bellows act as an expression system as well (not per-key, of course). I think that there has been something of an ...

Find the products that, in combination, give you what the Kronos would.

The decomposed workstation as pragmatic necessity, rather than explicit, coherent design. It's what we're left with.

I'm still disgusted that Roland never took its AIRA line in that direction.

Well, this certainly suits me. At least service on my Krome is likely to stay live for a while.

On the other hand, it lends additional force to the idea that the Nautilus is supposed to be the new flagship, which is depressing.

The baby kurzweils don't seem to be cut-down in much except for size, drumpads, and audio interface function. If you're running it standalone and don't use pads, it should be a pretty complete experience from what the news tells me. The PC4 comes in at $2,5K, and has many similar features to the ...

I'd settle for a single link as well. It gave me a bunch of error messages, then nothing.

Perhaps use http://catbox.moe/ as a file transfer service, it's less annoying.

I'd be very interesting in a MicroArranger II. A MicroArranger XL? Something like that.

Even if a sort of Pa700 clone, it would be a wonderful thing.

Hang on a second with a raw size comparison on samples - this is apples and oranges. KORG's approach to sampling is (mostly, there are some tweaks here) basically a straightforward development from old rompler techniques. If you're familiar with the behaviour of the engine you can draw a pretty ...
