I love how the Argentinian price is just what I'll have for february to spend on a synth

They're going at this thing pretty hot n heavy over at gear... junkies.

It seems that KORG is also bringing out a reissue of the MS-20 monophonic with the Legacy-style minikey case - but real analog.

King Korg could be a killer VA, a super son of Radias, with tubes on the output stage a la the Triton Extreme.

Krome Photoshop magic?

The link doesn't work for me

Is it VA or real analogue?

I think this is fake.

Mybe they will bring an analog synth, but King Korg? That´s a ridiculous name.

They should call it Krumble.

It says analog, but it's highly unlikely... Import Music calls the R3 "analog", too! And it says XMT, which it surely is an enhancement of MMT. I suspect that, for the price, and that it is only bitimbral, that it's some kind of hybrid, maybe digital OSC with analog filters!

And I suspect like others that this is nothing but a hoax and there will be nothing coming forth from KingKorg

I mean really people think about it. This fake is not even a Korg keyboard at all.

I was the one that found the photos from the source. I assure you that it is an official korg distributor. That's the only reason I have no doubts about it. If I saw the photos on a blog, or another page, I would think that it's just a hoax

looks a little shopped to me. The top of the screen in the 3d view does not follow the vanishing point of the rest of the keyboard.

It could be an official 3d rendering, that doesn't really disprove anything.

It might be KorgisKing trying to deceive us, lol, he was recently banned i think.
I forgot the name exactly, KorgisKing or KingKorg, i know one of them is banned.

People, really, KingKorg,///
Think about what the person who photoshopped this is counting on lol.
Please do not let him have his way with you. You surely must have your pride left.

KingKorg perhaps the next breakthrough could be from a
company like , oh I don't know. How about Korgilicious, or wait I've got it,,
How about Korgasm....

This was also picked up and used by an authorized KORG dealer in South America. I would point out that this is exactly how word of both the OASYS and Kronos leaked out, and is the style with a number of electronic products from Apple to phones. In addition, how long has the Kronos been out now? The Krome was released as an M3/50 successor. And Radias was discontinued from what I understand. Isn't it about time for a VA to replace it?

I would also mention that the MS-20 reissue was in the same leak. While that might be just as bogus, keep in mind that the Arturia MiniBrute is in such insane demand worldwide that Arturia can't keep up with orders for it. On the used market, people have been fighting over vintage MS-20s about as hard as for Andromedas. People have been begging KORG to do SOMETHING analog for about a decade or so. It seems to me that it's about time for KORG to do that something.

I guess we'll see.
