Korg keyboards like the M3 have universal power supply, and I'm pretty sure the Kronos is not different in this regard. _________________ www.soundcloud.com/orpheus2006

uk dont have same power supply as in my country so I think its the same problem with us, but you can buy cheap adapters so its not a big deal, not in sweden anyway I usually buy from german and they have the same power supply as in sweden, probably they have adapters, it could be problem thoug if you want to buy a seperate power supply, they dont want to sell it seperate, they want you to buy the whole product in germany...so check it up
1. probably you can fix it with a cheap adapter
2. probably you cannot but a new power supply (but perhaps an old(I bought radias from UK, and they had the same power supply as EMX so I could use that))
waiting to long for the real prices in europe could make it impossible for me to buy, so thats my interest unfortunately _________________ M50, M3, Radias, Kaossilator Pro, Kaosspad 3, EMX, Microkorg X and Native Instruments and Polar Ti Virus |

It's a non-issue!
According to the specification ("Accessories:AC cord"), the Kronos comes with an AC power cord (german: Kaltgerätekabel). That means the Kronos features an universal power supply.
You just need to replace the AC power cord which is available at a price less than 2€.
There was a similar discussion for the M3 and it turned out that the power supply is identical worldwide, just the AC power cords are different. _________________ www.soundcloud.com/orpheus2006

I'd think a high end equipment like that would have a universal power supply, meaning you would only have to change the cord. _________________ https://www.youtube.com/user/sewa01/videos |

confirm.
This is common even for analogue synths nowadays (which have more complex power supply issues). |

I can't understand German:
does "nine in one" mean that you pay one and get nine?
I think that "nein" means "no way", but then I can't understand what that means

"nine in one" is an old German proverb and means:
"why take the price for one, if you can try to demand a price for nine from selling just one" |

Just for you guys who don't understand German:
yes, they removed the price. Instead they are now saying "auf Anfrage" which means "ask for the price". If you are asking for it, they will respond with "wait until Musikmesse Frankfurt".
Lessons learned so far:
(1) Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious...
(2) In the case of news, we should always wait for the sacrament of confirmation.
(3) Delay is preferable to error.
(4) Let the dust settle. _________________ www.soundcloud.com/orpheus2006

You can see him here in a brainstorming exercise searching for potential names for the next Korg workstation...
... and working on the price calculation for the Kronos.

Here is the answer from Music Store, Germany, when I contact them for availability and price.
Kronos 61 is discontinued
