Looks like the Korg Krome Ex 61 is back in stock at Thomann!
https://www.thomann.de/intl/korg_krome_ex_61.htm
When I looked at buying one a few months ago, my local distributor advised (via the retailer) that the Krome was in fact not discontinued, as widely hypothesised. Instead, production was impacted by a parts shortage. I managed to get a brand new unit a month or so ago; looks like production might be restarting? _________________ Current Equipment:

Well, this certainly suits me. At least service on my Krome is likely to stay live for a while.
On the other hand, it lends additional force to the idea that the Nautilus is supposed to be the new flagship, which is depressing. |

It certainly is depressing, especially when you consider that the Krome surpasses the Nautilus in a couple of areas, namely it’s better sequencer (with the exception of HDR and in track sampling), and a more comprehensive front panel on the Krome (sequencer controls, numeric keypad, bank buttons). The Krome and Nautilus even share the same LCD. _________________ Current Equipment:

I do see Krome are back in stock (61 and 73 versions) online in some U.S. stores.
I do wonder if Korg decided to scale back Krome production so it wouldn't compete with the Nautilus. I imagine the production costs would be about the same, but Nautilus would provide a higher profit margin. Pure speculation on my part! _________________ bpoodoo
