Hi,

Not that I am aware of. It is still on the Korg USA website...
Where did you get this info from?

Bye

it wasn't information I had from a source -- I was just asking because I'd been researching the XL a bit and seemed like it wasn't offered at a few of the retailers. zzounds gave not the usual out of stock thing -- just said we don't have any information, doesn't exist in our database. Sweetwater has 8 right now tho!

fwiw I'm impressed by the demos I've heard. would love to know more about it and there isn't a ton out there for a unit that's been available for a while...

Hi,

Note that:
* the original mK is still available
* the mk S is available, which is the original mK with more programs on board (256 iso 128) + built in speakers. Programs are compatible with the original mK.

* the mK XL, this one is discontinued
* the mK XL+ is still available, it is basically the same as an XL, but other factory programs and other PCM waves. Programs are compatible with the XL via a conversion tool, as long as they don't make use of the PCM waves, which are different for both boards. Programs are not compatible with the original mK or mK S, though there are program libraries that contain recreations of the factory programs of the original mK. They should sound fairly the same, but subtle differences may exist as the XL(+) has another sound engine than the mK(S).

Bye.
