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.

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

Korg has reason to make a new move with Kronos.
Roland stepped up the pace with fantom and its polyphony. No note drop offs when layering.
The note drop off has been a big problem for many people with Kronos.
But only the sales trend will determine how fast Korg moves to make a more powerful flagship or Kronos replacement.
If fantom sales have gone up and Kronos sales gone down, Korg may have reason to rush into 2020 with a Kronos replacement.
Otherwise Korg can afford to wait and carefully work out a worthy replacement with improved reliability and power, that can keep Korg leading the workstation way.
I am hoping for a good excuse to buy a new workstation rather than ship my Kronos 2-88 to my new home base across the big Ocean. It already has need for repair anyway.
A new improved Kronos would be reason enough for me to get another workstation to have at my new home base.
I am key-less right now. Playing no rig at all. Got invited to a music fest gig to play next month and they offer keys for me to play but that will probably be an outdated 61 key or a rickety 88 key digital piano.
Not inspiring for someone who has trained his brain and music sensibilities, exclusively on Kronos (plus a few midi dongle devices).
Maybe i am spoiled but no regrets here with all the wonders Kronos does for me. Even better should a new and improved one come available.

Wave synthesis has taken a giant leap for musician-kind.
Looks like something that would make a next generation kronos do tricks around the new fantom TR style sequencing -If it were added as a feature in the next generation flagship workstation by korg.
I like the sound of it.
Cheers -and the music play on.

Hi Voip,
Thanks for your advice - that's kind of you. I did try to delete three of them. I found that I couldn't delete the first three, because they were deemed to have been replied to by the next copy of it. For some reason that I can't figure, I couldn't even delete the last of the four, hence my subsequent apology. I really have no idea what went on there - it's not happened before, and I only clicked 'submit' once. Weird...
Anyway, for those of you who are interested in this synth, here's a link to a demo by a guy who has been a demonstrator for Korg over here in the UK for a long time now, and he's somebody who I have found to be a source of good and useful information - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8NVBHmQfRw. At any rate, it's good not to have one of those videos where some guy is just banging out a generic four-bar House loop on the shiny new thing he bought yesterday. You can start to get some idea of its musical potential.
