Which models have wood side Panels

Post by 96th_Malice »

Morning all

I have a local music store that can ship in a couple different used Kronos for me

What I'm wondering is .....

Is it only the Kronos 2 with the wood panels ?? ( yuk )

The Kronos 1 and Kronos X are black side panels correct ( perfect )

The reason I'm asking is I absolutely despise the wood panels lol ..... I will stick with my Oasys / Krome combination if wood panels is my only choice ( yes I dislike them THAT much )

I'm pretty sure the Kronos X is only black plastic BUT I have the chance to grab a practically new Kronos 1 88 note ..... BUT no one can tell me what " finish " the end panels are. Sounds simple right ? ...... Hey music store .... Call the other music store !!

It's all good I assume my information will be accurate here ..... And possibly faster

Thank all

it's only the K2 w/ wood panels. If you want the black ones, you'll have to shop used since the original and X are no longer made.

However, if you want something different, there's always this for your K2.

Awesome thank you

The K1 or KX will do as the upgrades are not relevant to what I'm playing. ( Dream Theater at home ....... And crappy dancy cover tunes at gigs )

Thanks for the reply !!

On a side note ..... I can't translate it BUT those OASYS sides for the Kronos look great

Or if you wanted 88 keys you could go for the Kronos Platinum...
Kronos² / Nautilus / KingKorg / RK-100s / CX3 / Logic / ProTools / Sibelius

Correct..

There was a time when television sets, electronics, home appliances, etc. were made w/ wood
The woodside panel on the Kronos is probably Korg reminiscing of the yesteryears..
