The texture and faded colors look retro.

Reminds me of this for some odd reason.

Colours are similar/indicative of the Poly 61...

Is there some clue in the text? Why have they written the date that way? Why is there a stroke through the zero (is that suggestive of a retro style numeric display) - and have any previous devices used that font? And - why this date for release - have they picked that date for a reason?

There are hints in there - come on lateral thinkers - what's being hinted at here ?? :-)

The Kronos came out in 2011 so it's near that time for a new flagship workstation ... but this time with fully weighted mini keys.

Well, I suspect the line is through the zero so there can be no ambiguity in relating it to the O1 range - so - it's likely not to be a workstation of any kind (as in - had they written simply 01 then people would have potentially inferred an O1 connection, and Korg wanted to avoid that connection).

So it's perhaps not a workstation.

Does 11.01.16 have any significance?

Looks like it could well be the Poly61 (reissue) in some form.

I posted a Poly61 pic on Korg's Twitter and the topic was pulled offline.

Really - a reissue of the most boring synthesizer ever conceived?

Maybe an affordable desktop Volca-esque version of the synth. Just a guess.

Poly800 also has similar colours.
