Isn't it taken from Greek mythology? He was a titan who castrated and killed his father, Oasys.

Korg's Record of Number Of Sounds

or

Korg's Record of Number Of Synths (put in one synth)

Edit: Forgot the 'Just kidding' addition.

Kronos is indeed someone from Greek Mythology (don't know Oasys for sure, but could be).

I was joking about Oasys, though it is true (or as true as anything in Greek mythology) that he castrated and killed his father.

Hmm castrated, well that doesn't add up because the one to actually lose any parts was the KRONOS....

-No on board CD/RW drive
-No physical pads
-No ADAT interface
-No balance MIC inputs
-No adjustable input screen
-No "real man's" joystick... Kronos" looks like the DW8000 joystick.
-No 8 individual analog outputs.
-No RH2 keybed. (personally think it's better than RH3 IMO)
-2 more USB ports (every bit helps)
-No Karo libraries yet (well I wanted to be nice..

If getting a variation on the OASYS for half the price makes me a sucker, I can live with that.

who says it's an acronym? Korg's been using names from various mythological sources for years with the only apparent reason "they sound cool."

Trident
Delta
Trinity
Triton
Prophecy
Pandora

OASYS - okay that's an acronym.
KARMA - haha that's an acronym too.
KAOSS - well okay, but they were pretty up-front about what all these acronyms stood for. They haven't been so far with the KRONOS...
