Last April/May, I recall Jack mentioned he was working on a new set of sounds.

It was a Facebook conversation originated on the Kronos Enthusiasts page

Jack mentioned he was hoping for late May/June.

I dug around FB trying to find a way to follow up, but couldn't pin down a better way to reach Jack.

I have admired Jack Hotop for some decades and was looking forward to this new set.

Did I miss his sounds or is the project hung up somewhere ?

Thanks

Hey Greg thanks for bringing this up. I was thinking about reaching out to Jack myself. Would you like me to contact him?

He is amazingly talented. I look forward to anything he puts out. I believe he programmed a patch called "Into the Night." It's not in the factory preload, but it is still one of my favorites.

Patches are done and Korg is just waiting to release them. My guess is they'll put them out in tandem with the latest firmware upgrade.

Xmas present.

Thanks !

Well, an update sounds good. But I don't think there's anything spectacular to be expected, unfortunately.

thats what my old tea leaves predict. An update is reasonable in a few months.

A successor keyboard seems like 2020, or 16 months away.

Korg has a lineup of keyboards to sell. Grand stage and LS are obvious derivatives. I suspect thats their focus- selling what they have.

And the K2, even with its limits, is a lot of fun with plenty of challenging areas to dig into.

I think it's safe to assume that we will see this update winter Namm 2019.

That's what I think too. They will introduce new technology with the start of the new decade.

Absolutely, still the best Keyboard out there, imho.
