Members MuzikB Posted September 4, 2012 Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'm still waitin for Korg to stop dicking around with the Monotron crap and fut that analog stuff in a proper synth with tubes. Looks like the Kronos waterdown is in full swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a breakthrough, in a way, that they can offer a 4 gb rompler with 16 track sequencer and touch screen for Mo X prices. But combined with the MicroKorg XL+ announcement, it's still just part of that race to the bottom. The Big Announcement is that Korg is trying to be Casio. It needed to be said.

Members Casio Man Posted September 4, 2012 Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 Originally Posted by zoink Call me picky, but I just want them to start making synths again. I have been thinking about lack of synths lately a lot, but Korg at least does something(and in all fronts too). Yamaha has nothing. It even took the expansions away from Motif. Krome seems to be nice value and its a pretty heavy contender in its league, but as I have already been going towards Kronos, this only highlights the Kronos's massive value for synth geek.

Members zzzxtreme Posted September 4, 2012 Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 xf and mox still quite recent. looking at their history of motif releases, we will probably see next motif in 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bernard Posted September 4, 2012 Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 I am praying Krome boots quickly and has no fan... It probably will boot quick and have no fan I also noticed it saved stuff quicker that the MOX. The MOX and XF are great synths and sound really good... The KROME will be great too by the looks. Just comes down to the luck of the draw on reliability. Hopefully they have raised that bar a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Metrosonus Posted September 4, 2012 Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 krome and I don't know whaaafuc it is I guess there was some technical issues / rich wasn't feeling well? but they really didn't get into the meat of it on the live broadcast. sux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gribs Posted September 4, 2012 Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 A new OS for Kronos is nice, but as far as new products go Korg's announcement gets a big "meh" from me. I guess I should just shut the heck up and be really happy that Korg is showing good support and continual development of the Kronos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j_e_f_f_g Posted September 4, 2012 Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 Korg should not have done a live feed -- at least not with two guys whose expertise is not as a demo rep. (The korg rep in the Anderson's vid should have done the live demo. Obviously, that's his expertise, and he has a live demo already rehearsed and polished). The second mistake was not being prepared for a followup live Q+A chat, or a link to further videos, or downloaded manual. As is, Korg simply invited people to ask "Is that all?", without any prepared response. I have no feelings yet on the merits of the krome (although the Anderson's vid left me with a mostly favorable impression). But the live feed, as it came off, was not a success. (Well, to be brutally honest, it was a PR train wreck whose only accomplishment I predict will be to give critics, who aren't interested in the krome's featureset, an opportunity to depict Korg itself as a failure. I guess it's Korg's turn to get what certain critics have given to Roland especially the past year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
