Dana. Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I saw it before it was made private. It was a clip of the guy from Dirty Loops playing a new or upgraded 61-key Kronos. The Kronos name is in a new font and the end caps appeared to be fake wood. He played a bit of what he said is a new piano sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

16251 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I posted this in October but no one seemed to care. It doesn't sound like the one mentioned in this thread, but I thought Jonah Nilsson playing something different from his normal Korg x50 was news.

sherry Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Ok. No problem. Hard to tell, but besides the different end caps, the body looked deeper than the current Kronos. Certainly the logo was different. The dirty looper guy said something about enhancements, but then said he shouldn't say anything. It could be nothing but an updated appearance. Kind of like the white Motif. Come on Namm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tusker Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Very nice looking synth. It reminds me of the dignified livery of the Yamaha S90 series which I always enjoyed. (far greater synthesis power in a Kronos of course) Thanks for the heads up Sherry. Would someone familiar with the original Kronos and Kronos X please summarize the improvements for us? Or is there a comparison chart ... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonglow Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Sure does look nice, but at first blush (I only watched the video) some of those improvements/upgrades don't strike me as being critical, at least for my needs. The acid test will be the new piano.

miden Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Still only four Karma modules, so that cancels out Karma 3. So stuck at Karma 2.5. HDD is about the same size too, no changes there. RAM looks about the same too from memory. Be interesting to see if Korg addressed the issue of noisy cooling fans, and the heat. To me, looks more style than substance.

J. Dan Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I wonder if some of the enhancements will be available in an OS update. I saw the color coded set list blocks, that's cool. Also, it looked like he was zooming in on the screen - that would also be nice for some of those small fonts. Also, according to the Korg site, you can plug in a USB computer keyboard to type in text.

burningbusch Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 The USB keyboards are most beneficial for entering text for the improved SET LIST mode.

Busch. I think wood, natural or faux, looks very sharp on synths. The MiniNova has fake wood end cheeks but it really adds to the look of the instrument.
