Kevin.
Are you serious? Why should they? They can release whatever they want, and that's exactly what they have. If you want a workstation, there's plenty options out there.djcactus wrote:Its funny, I guess they should come out and publicly apologize for not releasing a brand new workstation right now.shefu wrote:How is Roland on notice?

I think why selles are droped and going lower and lower awry year for hardware Workstations is because they always bring the same and they are really not workstations anymore.. Kurzweil wrote on their web site for PC3K8 that it is "Production station" and they use the cuting age technologies, but i think they are lairs, because their is nothing cuting age in PC3K8 as well it is not a production station at all, it is a low quality performanse synthisesier with very dated hardware and software under the hood,also speaking about Yamaha, Yamaha continued to use AWM2 for, i think more then 25 years and they did not care it is good or bad and in 2013 year they have a couple megabite ROM in their top of the line Workstation and that's it. While with computer world they evolved alot, there are so many high qiality VSTis and they constantli improve. The another problem with modern hardware "Workstations" are that they are locked so u cannot upgradde or add anything hardware wise and software wise. That is terrable!!!PianoManChuck wrote:It takes a lot of time, research, development and money to come up with a new workstation, especially one at or above the level of what the Kronos can do. Workstation sales were much greater ten years ago, but today with computers and easy interfacing between keyboard and computer (and even keyboard and iPad), the demand is not as high as it used to be. If I were in charge of a company like Roland, Yamaha, etc, I'd focus my product/design emphasis on something else... something with a much broader customer base. I'm pretty sure companies are thinking along the same lines, which is why you don't see much in the way of new workstations. This will leave Korg as king in terms of workstations. That's fine with me.
I love Korg's SV2 stage piano, but there's a lot more stage pianos out there to choose from, and a lot more customers for stage pianos too. That's why all the major players make stage pianos.
unfortionaly Oasys was, not is...Pesho wrote:chilly7 if i recall correctly, this is that the Korg OASYS was. As long as it has a keyboard and synthesizes music, it still counts as a synthesizer.
year but not Atom CPU...Pesho wrote:According to Wikipedia, Kronos is the successor to OASYS and uses an Intel Atom CPU + Linux kernel. Looks like Korg know what they're doing, PC hardware is very cheap now and offers a lot of computing power.chilly7 wrote:unfortionaly Oasys was, not is...
