Re: KRONOS Relaunched!

Why is the “3” label annoying? There was the original Kronos, the Kronos X, and then the Kronos 2. All three are substantially the same with some tech improvements. That’s exactly what has happened with the “3”. Is “2” an annoying label as well? Why would there be a “4” as soon as 2027? The next ste ...

The Kronos Successor...Straight from the Mouths of Korg. HA!

<a href="https://ibb.co/JdvvxjW"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/H2ttNTL/Nautilus.jpg" alt="Nautilus" border="0"></a> Well, looks like we may be waiting a lot longer than people anticipated. Directly from Korg, looks like the Nautilus is now their flagship model. Not too happy about that!

Re: Kronos vs Grandstage + DAW?

Anything I'm missing from Kronos if I'm going with Grandstage + DAW route? The Grandstage 88 is almost $2k cheaper than the Kronos 88. AFAIK both have the same RH3 keybed and are made in Japan. Are you looking to use VSTs? If so, hell, I'd go with the Komplete S88 MK 2 and purchase Komplete ...

I'll be honest, I don't think there will ever be another flagship from Korg. I mean, look at all the VSTs out there now, and they are amazing! At this point, I'm leaning toward picking up an NI Komplete S88 and Komplete 13 Ultimate Collectors Edition. Granted, I am in it for the sounds, as I can do ...

Anyone Use New Roland Fantom with Kronos?

I think I have lost hope of Korg ever creating another workstation. With that being said, has anyone splurged on the new Fantom to work alongside their Kronos? Thinking that with a Kronos 88, pairing that with a Roland 7 for the synth action would be a nice setup. Not really sure. I've heard the ...

Anyone Use a Pre-Amp with their Kronos?

Do you use a preamp with your Kronos for home studio recording? I've always recorded straight from the board, but wasn't sure if anyone found any necessity, or more interesting characteristics using a preamp.

Thanks!

Korg Canada has been putting out a lot of short tutorials recently. There’s a recent one from Sweetwater demoing the Titanium. The rest, I think, are user videos, which I attribute to the quarantine state of the world. People finally spending some quality time learning all the things their Kronos c ...

I Noticed a Lot of NEW Kronos Videos Popping Up on YouTube

I've noticed the past week or so, a lot of new Kronos videos popping up on YouTube. At first I thought the algorithm was pointing me toward old videos I've watched, but these are all new, and they don't really even discuss the summer library release. Some people have commented that other companies ...

To be honest, I would be willing to spend upwards of $5,000 on a new flagship KRONOS successor, assuming it is a true successor, and not leaving people miss things from the KRONOS that were already done right. I've always thought of quality when I heard the name Korg. If part of that $5,000 is ...

I noticed they had two Kronos there. They were the platinum colors again, but the end caps were a natural wood color. Not sure what that keyboard was all about. Haven't seen a video showing it yet, just a video with it passing in the background.

Good. Come back here with what you compose to prove you didn’t waste your time.

NAMM 2020

Just a place to start all your speculations until the big day hits and we see the videos coming out.

Myself? I don't expect to see any new flagship workstation from Korg, what with the release of the SE just one year ago. I can always HOPE though. :-D

I think the best of both worlds would be a Kronos 88 and a new Roland Fantom -76 for the synth action. MIDI those two up, and you've got all you need for home studio and gigging (though that's a lot of weight to throw around). :-) I really liked the Fantom G when it came out years ago, but didn't ...

I agree as well, which is why I have purchased the best that Korg and Yamaha currently offer and have then have paired them with a small NUC PC in my gig rack which is powerful enough to run any VSTi I have. I have a Kronos VST, and like any other "entire keyboard VST" I got, they sound very tinny ...
