My decision have changed. I will wait until Korg makes the announcement about the Krome sampling capabilities. If they are real, I will get one.

| even if I've got a Kronos 61 and m3 fully expanded I will go for a Krome 61, I like the idea to have a light keyboard that I can use in live |

You see, thats a different take...i dont play live that much anymore, i simply
refuse the offers...so i dont need a light keyboard. If you make the money
from it, then why not, get it, it will save your back.

Same here. If there is no sample playback then I don't need this.

I think for the price (1000$ 61 keys version) this is a great product. Actually the main question is where is the big innovation which Korg brings with this workstation. The answer is simple: More intuitive interface for inspiring composers or performer musicians. Some year’s ago you could found touch color screen 7’’ inches in workstation, in this price range only in your dreams….But I think that Krome has many others important improvements in comparison with the older M50 or M3. For example the main grand piano sound in this machine is far better than the M50 or even than my old Triton. I think this machine it worth my attention. Actually I am very impressed. O…I forgot to say that the word Krome is Greek word, which means color.

|
|
I would love to buy a Krome. I'm just getting back into music after a 20 year layoff, and I used to own an M1 and 01W/FD. The build quality on those was excellent, and I love the Korg sound; warm, rich, full, fat, ethereal, ambient, etc.
Unfortunately, I've read too many things about how Korg's QC has dropped in recent years. I'm disabled, can't drive, and on a fixed income. I need something reliable. Therefore, I'm going with a Jupiter-50 for the tank-like hardware and VA sounds, and the Korg Legacy software package for the pads, strings, and other Korg sounds I love. That way I get a reliable board, plus two sound packages I like.
I also plan on getting a Yamaha S90XS/XF to have a reliable 88 weighted board and the Motif sounds, which will give me a brighter sound than Korg and Roland, just to have the variety. |

It may be a repackaged product but Korg did waste R&D on the flashy GUI and probably some preset sound design. Hopefully the decision will pay for itself and Korg will have funds to throw into a real new product. |
I would. In matter of fact, I already have one 
I also have a Kronos, but this one is very good for taking to gigs. It's of course not a tenth as versatile as the Kronos, but it sounds great. And my hopes are high that the sampler function will become available for the end user, to make it more versatile. And even just as it is, I could program already some sounds that are very similar to the ones I programmed on the Kronos. And it's not heavy to carry around. Anyway, at first I didn't think it was interesting (being a Kronos owner), but now I'm glad to have it, even if it's mainly for use on the road. |
