So there's a Full sized Arp Odyssey coming soon apparently. Check out the Kronos below though... It looks like a Kronos 2 with black sides, I don't know if it's a dark maroon color or possibly just the standard black that looks different given the lighting.

It seems like a Kronos 2 with light-weight 88-key weighted action. There's a picture of another one like this that looks like a 76 synth action version.
Great news indeed!

Controls, buttons look identical to my 5 yr old Kronos. So far, I think the color variation is due to lighting, reflected, the photo.
How can you tell its a light weight 88 ?

There are more clear pictures of that event circulating in a Facebook group that clearly show that this is called "Kronos LS" and it is written "Kronos with light-weight action 88 keys". I don't know how much can I share from that group, but SynthJam also posted on their Instagram about the Kronos LS so it's a thing.

Exactly |
I am not in that FB group
I did see the 2nd photo with the Kronos LS ' sign' or placard.
At this point, I don't see exactly how its light weight. I recall Korg did a Triton LE.
Curious where the photos originated from.

So far the KRONOS has been a success for KORG, so I am not really surprised to see KORG expand the KRONOS family.
The TRITON series also featured a rack version, so I wonder if a KRONOS rack will be forthcoming also. |

I don't know.
The triton rack came out in 2000 and I read it sold poorly, possibly due to high price. These days, a used rack can be found for $299
Given the success of IOS apps, I would prefer some type of Kronos app.

It looks exactly like Kronos 2 except for the colors.
Light-weight keybed seems to be the only different.
What does light-weight keybed means? That its not Piano like?

| I HOPE the 76 key version has the same synth action as the current Kronos and not the Krome. |
