This information is incorrect, the Prologue 16 is still in their current lineup and still listed on the Korg web page....

Ha ha! Many years since I wrote the original post! :) Since then? Jeez...I've owned a 2nd M50, a 2nd Microstation, The Kross 1 and 2, as well as a Krome. I'm onto other things these lately (Kurzweil, MX49, Dave Smith, Sequential, Nord) but I do have a few Volcas and have owned both Minilogues. I can ...

Congratulations! You've moved up in a big way. The piano and Rhodes models will likely blow you away...

Thanks everyone,

$2000 CAD sounds like a good deal to me, but perhaps there are better deals out there?

I guess I will be patient and see what happens during NAMM. It would be nice to trade my Krome in towards the Kronos though...it really looks like a keyboard that would do it all!

Thanks for that link - I will study that.

Thank you for the reply, I'm not sure if you are suggesting buying the 1st generation or the newest generation? I'm considering a "fully-upgraded" 1st generation Kronos for $2000 CDN, and I want to explore exactly what specs it has and what has been upgraded... I will let you know how it goes!

Hi Everyone, Is there any reason why someone would not want to buy the original Kronos? I am now seeing them second hand, and now more affordable as the original selling price was cost-prohibitive for me. If I understand correctly, this original version (1) can be upgraded to the current New Kronos ...

It's a pretty nice synthesizer! What else to you own? Does it get used in your set-up, or did you buy it just because of the price? If it gets used and you don't have anything else that plays like it, then keep it. If, on the other hand, you love your "Motif" or "Fantom", or whatever, and you don't ...

Thanks for the reply, This rack unit does not have the Radias expansion, so adding that would raise its cost to be prohibitive. Even though the Krome has the wonderful pianos, the M3 really sounds good on it's own. But you know, it's the ease of editing on the Krome screen that is the real winner ...

Arggh! Someone stop me before I do something stupid. I am an ex-M50 owner, and up until today a relatively happy Krome 73 owner. Was just at my local music store, and they have a 2nd hand M3 rack module (Expanded with EXB 256 memory) Boy, did I have fun playing it! All those M50 memories came back ...

Not sure if you have done the upgrade or not? The Microstation reminded me a lot of the Kross I owned (I have owned both at different times) in that it has a modified EDS sound set, very similar screens, editing set, etc... In fact, I believe it has been nick-named a "Microstation 2" on some forums ...

Thanks for all the replies and ideas, I did finish my 3 days playing with the Electribe MX, now I am going to spend some more time with the E2. For sure the immediacy of the knobs and controls on the E1 is nice - tweaking sounds for evolving textures felt pretty good. I should mention that there was ...

Very cool - thank you. This one youtube clip has convinced me I simply have to learn the machine, that's all. I am back from work, and from borrowing the EMX original version from the music store. Yay! I am sitting with it right now in front of me, trying to figure it out. Yikes... I better download ...
