The incoming delivery to SW hadn't arrived by 5pm their time. They are every bit as anxious as we are.

Just to clarify...the nano controllers are NOT compatible with the Kronos right? You just happened to get them in the same shipment, right?

Thats Right. The Nano Controllers aren't compatible plug & play devices with the Kronos right now.

I requested them to be included with my order for free to "sweeten the deal" I got them for use with my computer software I already use now.

Wow! How did you get a deal like that? SW only matched the $200 off Nova Musik for me, PLUS I had to pay for shipping.

My 88 was shipped today Fedex. Checked the fedex site but does not tell when it will arrive. Does it ship 1 day? Or is it 3 days like UPS?

Your Kronos 88 will most likely be shipping FedEx Ground (I assume you are talking Sweetwater).

The delivery time (like UPS Ground) will depend on how far you are away from your shipper.

Keep checking your FedEx tracking number (do it through FedEx, not Swetwater) and you should see some expected delivery date information soon.

i checked their site for ground shipments and it says 1 day delivery, so I should have it Friday....cool. My stand only holds 1 board so, I will have to remove the Motif XS8. I think Sunday it will go on sale on Ebay as long as the Kronos 88 is as good as I think it is. Can't wait. I miss not having Karma (I had the Korg M3 88 during 2010) and the Yamaha patterns just is not the same as Karma. Kronos having Karma and 9 engines should be quite an improvement over the Motif. I will see soon enough.
