I think I've seen every Kronos video on the web and this video stands out for one major reason:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtkRwUtqhkk
What is with that black line? Electrical tape covering (or hiding) ports? Electrical tape hiding words on an early pre-production model? Of all the KRONOS 88's I've seen in the demos, only THIS one has it.
These don't

It's obvious that the black line is a result of an alien abduction. The Kronos has been probed! |

nope. can't be. Look at the audio cables. They stick out from the KRONOS almost the same as a USB stick and there is NO shadowing except from the lights above and to the slight left.
I'm betting electrical tape. _________________ Current Korg Gear: KRONOS 88 (4GB), M50-73 (PS mod), RADIAS-73, Electribe MX, Triton Pro (MOSS, SCSI, CF, 64MB RAM), SQ-64, DVP-1, MEX-8000, MR-1, KAOSSilator, nanoKey, nanoKontrol, 3x nanoPad 2, 3x DS1H, 7x PS1, FC7 (yes Korg, NOT Yamaha). |

Looks like a USB stick to me, which would fit since demonstrators were using USB sticks. Remember that this is a stage; lighting was close and shadow directions can change quickly. Note the shadow for the power cord, for instance. _________________ Dan Phillips

Yep. At 24:03 there's a huge zoom in.
USB stick w/ shadow confirmed.
I was hoping for some cooler explanation like it was an early prototype and the electrical tape hides a cool feature like lazers or a retinal scanner. I'd have bought two if it was a retinal scanner.

How about a retina-powered D-Beam? _________________ RADIAS-R, Triton Extreme w/EXB-MOSS, Electribe EMX-1, Reason 3.0.5 |

Would it be possible to overthrow a small country or at least a super Wal-Mart with it? Cause that'd be cool. _________________ Current Korg Gear: KRONOS 88 (4GB), M50-73 (PS mod), RADIAS-73, Electribe MX, Triton Pro (MOSS, SCSI, CF, 64MB RAM), SQ-64, DVP-1, MEX-8000, MR-1, KAOSSilator, nanoKey, nanoKontrol, 3x nanoPad 2, 3x DS1H, 7x PS1, FC7 (yes Korg, NOT Yamaha). |

I think that with it being mounted where it is then it's more likely to be a rectal scanner than a retinal one |

I'm not really sure what I'd do with a rectal scanner. _________________ Current Korg Gear: KRONOS 88 (4GB), M50-73 (PS mod), RADIAS-73, Electribe MX, Triton Pro (MOSS, SCSI, CF, 64MB RAM), SQ-64, DVP-1, MEX-8000, MR-1, KAOSSilator, nanoKey, nanoKontrol, 3x nanoPad 2, 3x DS1H, 7x PS1, FC7 (yes Korg, NOT Yamaha). |
