Yep. I know that several music stores got a few last month, but they were all sold on pre-order. No one has them in stock yet. I am still waiting, but I am not in a hurry since I have to sell my Fantom G first. Not going to do that before the Kronos is in stock.

I have a feeling though that it might be a Christmas gift :)

I am also going to wait until it is in stock (don't like unknown delivery times).

Me too - what with the new OS due (want mine installed by Korg - maybe they could max out the RAM too), new sounds (interested in the synth ones) the lack of reliable stock levels and since I get my bonus in January - I am too going to wait. - any news on the editor?

Mentioned the OS upgrade to the wife - she said - see I told you it was worth waiting (wisdom really P***es me off sometimes).

Played a K61 over the summer and was absolutely blown away and know I will be buying one soon, really want it now but my Xmas will be in January. But its going to be fun (eventually).

@DaveB - hope your's turns up tomorrow - I know youve been waiting absolutely ages for this - have fun!

The OS can be upgraded also afterwards so waiting for the OS does not make sense. Don't expect RAM to be upgraded (maybe as payable extra option), but also for that, waiting is not useful. It saves you changing the dial yourself. Edit can also be isntalled later.

There are not that many good reasons to wait, one is to be sure you get it when you pay for ( so no real waiting/queue lists) and for the dial ... or maybe to get a bargain if you wait long enough (until just before ... Kronos 2).

Right, news from my supplier. They should have 6 K61's in about 7 weeks. Perfect timing for me :-)

That's a shame... I'll be on the lookout for a G7... the timing would have been good too!

My K73 has landed this morning. Been playing it all morning... love the sound and really the shortcut to the graphic EQ in the Set List mode, though I really think you ought to be able to move the sliders using the touchscreen itself.

Feedback Rotterdam has one. Or had, best call before you go.

Ok, I probably wait till spring (or a bit sooner in case months of waiting is needed). But nice to know stores have them (in small quantities tough).
