cool
The big question will be if the 'Something BIG Coming Soon' is the next TOTL Arranger confused
Now all the guessing, rumors and fake news will start flow in BIG streams ... grin

Actually, i am affraid its only hinting at something small...

Korg gadget is comming to Nintendo's latest gaming console soon..

Offcourse its not a new TOTL arranger, PA5x is not expected before late 2019

But with Superbooth next month, it also could be a hardware synthesizer or workstation thing, A kronos upgrade would be BIG news.

I would say it has to be a new Synth.... Kronos has been their flagship for many years now and even though it has gone through upgrades and "evolution" it is still a Kronos..

Similar legacy to the Yamaha Motif Line really, a new Synth platform would make sense...

Well, there was just a new synth at Namm, the prologue..


Kronos is a workstation..
soundwise, still in top shap trough all the updates Korg gave it..
The only thing they should improve is the touchscreen interface, it feels like a windows 98 pc with touchscreen while operating...

I love the sound engines of my Kronos..

Although the KRONOS is big and mighty, the KORG M3 is still much sweeter sounding, KRONOS is too DIGITAL for me.

Depends on how you set it up.... your Kronos... it can sound very analogue.... or really acoustic... but then you have to step away from the default settings ...

However fun thing is, the M3 engine is very much comparable to the PA4x engine, which is an advanced version of the M3 engine... and some things are easier to archive on the Pa4x then on the kronos. But thats mostly the advanced stuff like dnc thats added to the pa4x engine and not in the M3..


The one thing i liked most about my M3 was the factthat it was a module build into a keyboard.. yiu could use the 88 keys as lower keybed and put the controll on to of the arranger that was in upper position.
