I will reconsider a purchase only if the Kronos 88 goes for less than 3k EUR.
Some more days like these - and goodbye to Korg!

Oh I understand. Its kind of mirrors an MMO I used to play called Vanguard Saga of Heroes. It too has NOT had an update since 09 and whats funny is the CEO of the company that owns it promised that all games that have a subscription fee will get updates/support. Not to get off topic but it seems many companies would rather develop something new than support older stuff.cello wrote: Your logic is sound, I agree. But over the last few years this debate has raged. My realistic view is that Korg produced the best keyboard they've ever developed and launched in the OASYS. But! Korg is a company that has to work within commercial reality.
Whilst the last statement was made in Nov 2009 (18 months ago), there has been nothing for the O since then. Korg's focus is now on the Kronos. It is therefore not logical for Korg to suddenly start doing things for the O.
That's the way I see it anyway - if Korg wants to prove me wrong, I'll be a happy chappy!
If I had to guess, I would say (especially since the disaster) that Korg may be having some financial trouble. The O is indeed one of the most fantastic intruments Korg has ever released. But with the price that was attached to it, not to many people can pop by their local dealer and say "Hey I think I'll get me an $8k Oasys." So they made a decision to basically repack the Oasys with a cheaper solution. Now everyone out there who has lusted for an O since 2005 but could never afford one are flocking to their dealers to pick a K up. Could be what Korg needs to get them back on their feet financially. Again its mere specutlation on my part.
Basically, with its price tag, the O was more of an elite niche type workstation that mainly pro studios and people like JR owned. The K the middle class man's O.
