61 and 88 key only. This seems like just a cosmetic change. Some of the NAMM 2020 pics showed this in partial view, and several folk speculated it being a new Kronos. The last Kronos OS update was March 2019. I wonder if there is one coming soon for Kronos users.

Oh my God...is that all they have...A Red Special Edition...now, so many months later, a Limited Titanium Edition...what next? LGBTIXYZ Edition? Comes with free pillow.

That's real innovation every 10 years....New Paint Jobs.

Fortunately I just bought a Fantom 8!!

Same 4 partial tone generation that been used since the late 1980's, no key sampling and aftertouch that barely works... admittedly the V-Piano is nice, but overall it still has far less sound sculpting power that the 9 year old Kronos.

I'm not slagging off Roland, I've also just bought the Fantom 6, but it's not the Kronos killer it could have been.

Looks great, although a wood like Walnut might've suited better.

Actually, I was just thinking that silver, a la the Korg Triton, would have looked better.

Nonsense cosmetics not even worth being called news from my view...

It's true it's not a "new" Kronos, but I think it's the best "color" yet - looks awesome.

Titanium color wise might be signaling the end of a phenomenal run and the beginning of a new dawn. Kronos debuted in 2011 and next year would make it a solid 10, if i was a betting guy i would have to say that something new is going to be behind the curtain in 21 or 22

Korg has strong marketing.

I bet they make a big splash celebrating "10 Years of Kronos "
January 2021.

I know its obvious, but promotion and advertising is part of every co, its what they do.

They should have made it a special 76 key semi weighted version.. or a module version

No clue, why they stick to the same 2 from 3 models

Korg knows which key sizes are most popular.

And its a cost thing, how they manage priorities for assembly.
