I know you have an Oasys, but do you also plan on a Kronos, 61 or 73?

Thank you so much for the time you are taking with this. I look forward to your videos.

Thank you for the kind words.

Re. O vs. K - it's not a one-word answer. There are many aspects and personal circumstances, needs and taste. So if I say yes or no it won't help that much.

I didn't have the time to test everything in details with an oscilloscope or computer (as I planned) but I have used my ears and Genelec monitors, and based on this I can say OASYS and Kronos seem to sound identical so far.

Regardless of OASYS, Kronos is a dream instrument.

For non-OASYS owners the ad is right: "Prepare to be amazed", because nothing compares to Kronos except the mighty OASYS and they are very close to each other.

For some OASYS owners I think Kronos still could be interesting, depending on needs, taste and personal preferences.

I have used some wave sequencing sounds in my demos. If the recording is good I will upload those parts, of course. Other than that I'm afraid I can't publish voice name lists or similar user documentation as the Kronos hasn't been released yet.

If I'm right all the original Wavestation material (cards too) is included in Kronos.

Unfortunately, many things instead of editing that video... :D

I can't promise anything except I will do my best.

Yep I would be careful also ...as the Korg Police is watching you and will come and take your keyboards for naming the Kronos voices!! Maybe you should lock your doors also.. Be careful ..its a jungle out there!

Hey I know maybe you could post them in a coded message.. ?

Surely Akos can mention a voice if it's already on the OASYS?

Just don't mention any of the new voices...
