More than 4x the DSP horsepower than current Kronos (512 voices HD engine)

Korg's Nutube to warm up the sound: http://www.korg.com/us/news/2015/012212/

Better implementation of portamento

Brass physical modeling engine

Bigger screen with bigger font

Lighter, for easier transport to gigs

And free! Don't forget it must be free!

1. I may post this in a HARWARE wish list post because most of what I see here is OS updates. A 'very' useful hardware upgrade/addition would be to have the Mod Wheel & Pitch Wheel (in addition to) the joystick. Other synths have this such as the Roland JD-XA. I would think that this would add little to nothing to the cost, dimensions/weight, and/or complexity of the Kronos. Would someone from KORG please respond as to if this may or may not happen?

2. A tilting screen (Oasys) would be nice when using my Kronos on the top tier of a keyboard rig or on top of a hammond organ. I wouldn't have to stretch upward to read the screen (even though the current screen is very nice).

3. A long ribbon controller below the screen (like the kurweil K2500/K2600).

These are listed in order of importance "to me". #1 above would be a top priority of me of course.

Thanks KORG for such an awesome piece of gear!!!

In the sequencer :
into the delete track window : the possibility of choosing the tracks we want to delete. Not only ALL or just 1

22. Continuous Midi Recording (CMR) of anything you play and tweak, for a specified time in minutes. And if you forgot to hit record, or if pressing record button makes you play unnatural or kills your inspiration due to Grabbing Egoistic Reflex (GER), then this will save you. This handy feature is present in FL Studio. And in some Roland synths.

23. Creating Karma GE onboard.

I'd love to have a search function / sorting function in the drum pattern menu (Basic/vector)

[chini]

Currently it is impossible to prevent an RPPR note from being re-triggered when running over the same key in one-shot mode. This is a pitty because RPPR could be used like the drum track in the sense that it can be triggered to start on a certain note then continue though its pattern regardless of wether the same triggering note happens to be struck again.

Be great if Korg could rectify this!

A 76 Semi-weighted version. Maybe a limited edition that resembles\reissues the OASYS

Unlike in a combie if one changes any switch/slider movements in a song(sequence) wherever you left the state of these controllers they will remain as "programmed" in the song. Apart from the actual sequencer with it's one layer of undo I don't know why Korg chose to design the rest of its saving as an "if it is changed it is saved" format.

It would be useful if song mode had the same mode of saving that a combie or program has in that if one ever wishes to see the original saved state of the combie one merely has to hit the "compare" button. The same feature should be given to songs. I often use songs like combies but have to be careful while working on them: I have to make regular copies of the song I am programming at various stages of its development just in case I can not figure out something I changed to get back to the previous state.

This lack of status saving functionality can also cause problems live on stage: When playing a song live in a sound check and one hits various switches as part of the performance the song is then left in the state it was left at. I have come cropper a couple of times when I have forgotten to reload or revert the switching I performed in a the soundcheck only to find that the drum track trigger switch for example is not flashing so that I can trigger it again at the start of the gig performance!

This wonderfully expressive musical instrument cries out for a polyphonic aftertouch keybed!

Small thing - but sorting in Setlist mode.
ie I want to be able to select Alphabetical - for when I'm rehearsing from the whole band's setlist, but then revert to whatever list I have set up for a gig.
Two setlists doesn't do it because then I have to manage tweaks to the same patch in different setlists (I use the volume control to level out patches across the set)

I also dream about a keyboard where you can turn the hammer action off in some way. That would be truly innovative.

Finally -- I think Korg need to rethink the filing system. It is overly complicated. I am pretty good with data systems, and I struggle.

It's a pity notes played on the Kronos that can currently be used to trigger the 8 pre-programmed pad chords can not trigger those chords notes to external synths. One can hit the pads themselves to send the chord notes to the midi out but it would be much more useful to be able to trigger chords on external synths with single notes. It appears only allowed the internal sounds to respond to this trick!
