I love the BLUE LED's, why doesn't KRONOS have them? I don't like the LED's on the Kronos, kinda "Gun-metal-ish".... but the synth is AWESOME!
( I MOD or have my synths modified with BLUE LED's.... )
I look forward to checking this one out! Price might just be right for me!
I just sold my trusty Triton so if it is priced right it would fit in nice!

Cool KORG!!!

What is the blue LED in the "R" of the KORG on the back panel for?

Maybe they are trying to make an statement. Like Apple's luminous apple on all their laptop lids. They don't serve any purpose, but everybody knows is an apple product.

I love it, very sleek. But there's so many things Krome has, that Kronos SHOULD have: Piano Roll editing, direct on-screen parameter editing etc.

Don't get me wrong... I love my Kronos, and I realise that things progress, but please Korg, surely you can give us "old" Kronos users a similar interface.

61 Key

£799 UK Pounds
€1,000 Euro

That's one hell of a deal.

At that price I'm almost tempted to trade in my PA800.

The Blue LED in the R on the back of the KROME is like the DSI PolyEvolver.
It glows & swells with the sounds you play.... I hope the KROME does that, too!

Gotta say I miss the Krome-M as the desktop module that would fit in the Korg Komponent System right beside my M3M-module on my M3-73

I also miss the MOX usb-audio features. Don't think I will replace my M3 or PC3 with this but I will check it out. The price seems to be good.

It seems to me a stage piano with workstation features if it's true that of 3,8gb samples 2,8 are grand piano and 600mg are ep...

Just watched the video & well impressed. I can see the krome joining ranks with my Pa3X in the very near future

It's the same thing from m50.... no innovation here

Looks like a neat piece of kit notwithstanding the detractors. Set the price in the USA somewhere south of $950.00 and watch them fly off the shelves.
