Nice! I wonder if this is one of the songs for the new album?

Interesting that he appears to not be making use of the Kronos screen at all, but instead an iPad (and perhaps) iPhone.

Kronos with iPad for sheet music, and iPhone app running that I don't immediately recognize. The iPad appears to be placed over the screen of the Kronos but it's simply his sheet music.

Looks like ProRemote for iPhone - not a bad little app, albeit a tad pricey.

I see he managed to get a Kronos 88.

Lol, I wondered when someone would pick up on that!

Did you guys look at the other pictures? I see in one what looks like another display. Any idea what it is?

The other display, the one on the stand, is what he uses to read music notation. I don't think the iPad sitting on the Kronos is being used for notation.

As much as I think Rudess is a GREAT player, all his s**t manages to sound the same no matter WHAT he's playing IMO. And I'm a DT fan.

One photo shows both displays, the top is usually used for sheet music, but in this case he's using the iPad for that.

On this photo you can see the iPad screen with sheet music displayed.

As much as we may want to think there is a secret way to use another display for Kronos, it really doesn't look like there is a secret undocumented way to do so.

I'd love to know more about the build quality of the 88. Is the rattle that others have described on the 61 present on the 88? I guess we will have to wait to find out.

It would be a nice feature if you could load up sheet music on the Kronos screen.

Is that what playing a Kronos does to your face?
