So yeah, KORG isn't being sold, right?

Don't believe what these people from KORG tell you. There's an obvious conflict-of-interest there.

Ozy nailed it. But he forgot to mention the iTunes angle.
All of your combis & OS upgrades will have to be downloaded from iTunes.
There will be no combis allowed outside iTunes.

Independent developers selling from home will be hunted down
one-by-one, arrested and sent off to Apple's smileyface Gulag.
It's iTunes or a slow, painful death.

And the rumor I heard was that KRONOS would be renamed KRAPPLE.
Ozy said the company will be named KRAPPLE. But that's not what I heard.

The scoop I got was that the iTunes marketing honchos thought
KRONOS was a little 'dark-sounding'...grim even. So they came up
with a name that's more cheerful - the KRAPPLE.

And the whole 'workstation' idea didn't work for Apple.
So now, they'll be re-named "Funstations".

Apple takes over Korg = mr Katoh gets a bad, really, really bad cold, excuses from company activity for "a couple of weeks". Comes back 6 months later, weighing 35 pounds.

Kronos 2 is released, it's 1.5 inches high, keys are virtual on a flat screen, pitch bend works only if you hold tight the other side of the keyboard with your right hand. But it takes photos and can call collct in 32 countries, including Dubai, excluding Belgium.

Korg users are banned from visiting any forum not supervised by Elderly customers. Words to be used in forums are severely restricted, transgressors banned from owning a Korg and family and friends obstracize them. Divorce sentences are pronounced, containing the formula "cruel and vicious commitment to black electronic objects".

Customers meet once a week, on wednesday evenings (only evening not yet occupied by another religion since Helter Skelter sued Goldman Sachs for the exclusive on Black Mondays and won), and spend three hours sipping green tea, practicing pilates, and getting mimic lessons on the best way of frowning upon xxx [insert here anything not apple].

The new company is named Krapple.

Following the huge success of Snafos, its latest workstation-cum-phone-cum-radio-cum-movie-cum-tens-cum-teletransporter,

Krapple takes over Scientology.

Headquarters are moved in the vicinity on Alpha Centauri.

Korg users are abducted by a friendly Mother Spaceship.

Oasys users (dubbed "The Meek" and "The Lesser" or "MY Blessed Children") get their reward in Heavens.

On the Earth, musical history restarts its millenary progress: in order to fill the void left by Jordan Rudess, 250 million chinese have to start playing quick scales 17 hours a day.

By the sheer power of great numbers, a number of masterpieces is produced in the process.

Unfortunately they are played on Roland Gaias.

Mankind abandones music for good.

Otherwise, that's pretty much the straight scoop.

I spoke to someone high in the company who, when he finally stopped laughing hysterically, pointed out that KORG recently started to DISTRIBUTE Nord in Japan. They evidently needed a little help. KORG also distribute PRS and also some other companies. He emphasizes that KORG is very strong financially and no one but no one is going to be buying the company. KORG have big product plans for the future and they intend to deliver an even more stellar product range in the future than ever before.

I hope this kills all the speculation.

NO!

This will IMMEDIATELY start a speculation on the NEXT BIG THING!

What is it? What's its name? How much will it cost? Will it be black? Analogue? 88 keys? With retractile limbs?

Who wants to open the thread?

The NEXT BIG THING is obviously at least 4 years down from Kronos.
