Hi guys !

I'm really surprised...

So far, I haven't seen any rumors here about what will come out at the next NAMM in January 2012...

I'm especially interested in what Korg and Roland will come out with...

My ultimate wish would be a small Korg keytar with mini-keys. Korg puts out mini-keys everywhere we don't want to but in this case, it would really make sense ! A small portable keytar 3 1/2 octave mini-keys. It could be based on the Microkorg XL or with the sound set of the Micro X for example. And with a small quality speaker to practice anywhere in the house. It would be great !!!

lolll

When I was young, I had such a great time with a Yamaha SHS-10. So something, just a little bigger but smaller than a Roland AX-Synth would be perfect !!! What do you think ???

Always rumors... no facts obviously. Some of us are expecting a Kronos spin-off to replace the M3.

I've heard rumors that Kurzweil is working on a new workstation to replace the 2600 series--but of course those rumors have been in circulation for over 5 years now.

Naturally, Yamaha may (hopefully) retire the Motif and release a whole new workstation with a user-friendly interface, but we're not holding our breath.

Roland? Meh.

Korg are a bit like Apple in that they rarely if ever leak, literally, anything before a time of their choosing.

I hope Yamaha and Roland present real contenders to the Kronos.

Yes, rumour is that Roland Kurzweil and Yamaha will help Korg with Quality Control on the Kronos...

Yamaha bought Steinberg
Roland bought Cakewalk
Apple bought Logic

Live 9 release is being delayed for too long..may be,

Korg will buy it

and integrate it with the Kronos..it's going to be my dream workstation, Kronos Engine - Live Sequencer

What Roland should do is integrate the V-Synth in their next workstation. And Yamaha should rework he Ex5

They've already released as the "iKaossilator" app:

Yes, the EX type version with expanded FDSP, VL, DX and AN engine would be awesome..plus Karma 3

New modules for the Kronos, like BRS1 (Brass) and GTR1 (Guitar), I think those two are even with other synths, while the rest is mainly better.
