I did guess it write on the teaser picture that it's a stage piano but hope there is still an other keyboard to appear - a performing synth maybe

and also wondering where is the successors for pa600/900

Sat in the on the demo by the great Jack Hotop of the GrandStage. 88/73 key versions. Both are very compact--I could find no wasted space with the 73.

Pianos included:
New Italian Grand (assume Faziloi)
New Yamaha Upright
German Grand
Yamaha Grand
Austrian Grand
Berlin Grand
New CP80

I believe the seven engines are:
SGX-2
EP-1
CX-3
HD-1
AL-1
Vox Organ
Farfisa Organ

Comes with 400 programs
Splits (not sure about layers)
Might be a way to bring Kronos sounds into the Grandstage, don't know. Obviously a lot of crossover but the Kronos is bar far more programmable and flexible (combis, set list, sequencer, etc.)

No indication of timeframe nor price.

Heard there will only be 100 of the gold Kronos made!

That color is really uggly, will there be different colors?

By looks the RD2000 competitiin wins by a huge margin...

Interested to conpare them both soundwise and keyfeel wise... the roland pha50 keybed is out of this world, the only thing that can compete with Kawai for realisme and keyfeel..

Maybe Korg will surprise us...

Also wondering if the Italian will come to the Kronos... i think this migh be the first Offspring of the Oasys/kronos engines

Well I hope they sell a million of them so all the cash can go into the next Work Station.

This will only work if it is a heavy bargain.

The extreme lack of controller surface is something which no halfway serious band musician would even consider, unless it is really, really cheap.
I would never ever buy something like that.

Interessting. I use my Kronos mainly as piano, epiano and organ. For me by far the best rhodes emulation for live use on the market. For synthsounds I use my Prophet 6. I definitly would buy this Kronos version focused on the use as stagepiano. But ... the nice thing with Kronos as piano is that I can put 4 different effects on the controller knobs 5,6,7 and 8. So I can bring in reverb, distorsion, reverse delay and rotary effects at the same time with the level I want. Wonderful f.e. for electronic-chansons-style music. THIS is a big advantage because I don´t need fx-pedals for great ambient effect variations during playing.
The Grandstage is missing these controllers. Why ????? Crying or Very sad
