I would like an up to date Kronos with updated UI, better step sequencer, more sample ram, polyphonic aftertouch, led’s around knobs and sliders and much faster boot time.

I have a Kronos X61 (2014) as my top tier and Montage 7 (2017) as my bottom tier, and there is enough in the Montage M for me to upgrade when I am ready.

I think the Kronos and Montage are very complementary to each other and would not like to be without either.

I would like to see a revised Kronos, but the only concern I have about any revamped Kronos is lack of Karma if Korg have stopped working with Stephen Kaye. But as I always have a PC in my rig, maybe I could use Karma software?

In the meantime the Kronos still kicks ass, and I think AL-1 is one of the best virtual analogs out there.

Another noteworthy point is that there will be a VST M released next year and will be free for owners of a physical M. Wondering if the sound will be 1:1 between the two. From what I gather, this is what a lot of folks wished Korg would have done with the Kronos.


100% this. I mean, they released a VST version the Titan, and some others. Come on, Korg...pretty please!

If you people are going to sing the praises of the new Yamaha, then buy the Yamaha and forget Korg. There’s a saying about relationships: “Never allow someone to be your priority, if you are just an option to them”. Kronos fans are NOT a priority with Korg, so leave ‘em.

I also sing the praises of my Kronos. An incredibly deep synth that I still feel I have not scratched the surface of. And AL1 remains one of the best VAs out there.

Kronos has not been updated for a long time, but that does not stop it from being a powerful synth.

There is no reason to forget Korg just because I like other synths as well. I really like Wavestate and MODWAVE as well as the Kronos.
