Kronos 3 CPU?

Post by Gargamel314 »

Anyone know what's inside this thing yet? Korg was very cryptic during NAMM.

Yeah, hope so too that someone doesn't mind breaching the warranty (opening the board)...

I have the 88 and I'm not opening it to find out, but I can tell you it takes less than 50 seconds to boot and is about 3 times faster than the nautilus. and the interface is faster than the nautilus also. Lucas

I have a Nautilus. It feels slower than the Kronos 2 especially when switching programs, combi's and songs. I haven't timed it, but the loading time is slower, too. I wonder if polyphony might be improved as well... who was that person who replaced their CPU with a i7-6700? And then found that polyphony was also improved (voice stealing worked better) because the CPU could handle more.
