In the eyes of Korg, absolutely. In our eyes it's alive and kicking.
In our eyes it's alive and kicking and it remains the jewel in the crown... :)

The Oasys still sounds the same as then, so it's strange that it now suddenly is outdated ... allthough the Kronos is better at some points, the Oasys has its own strengths.

It does seem to be an M50 with a deluxe piano and updated touch screen/sequencer.... and added robustness for gigging.

If this can be considered the replacement M50, then what will the options be for the replacement M3? Is there room in the market for a £1000-2500 range synth? Keeping with the 'K' naming theme, what might they call it?..... if they get it 'just right' then Kudos might be apt.

What a great competition that would would be.... Name the next workstation and Korg give you one. Beats those self depricating you tube begging video compos :)

Just got an email from Korg announcing their new TMR-50 Tuner: http://www.korg.com/tmr50


SO I was right!

Here is the forecast of the new product line for Korg synths in the next years:

- Kromagnon: the most vintage synth ever built
- Krokodile: a VA synth with tight byte
- Kroissant: a truly multilayered synth with the crunchiest PCMs
- Krokant: the sweetest VA engine you will ever find
- Krop: revolutionary synth with only two keys
- Kraut: all-in-one vintage synth which disrupts the "Kro..." line to avoid legal trademark infringements (original intended name was "Kroftwerk")

PS: if it happens that Korg really uses such a name, the royalty fee will be a free unit :)

Dead in its original Open form theory...


It's spirit lives on within Kronos. :wink:

Although this "when I die I'm going to come back as a Kronos" ideology doesn't quite feel the best swap in reincarnation terms!!!Wasn't this ideology invented to comfort those hoping to bettering themselves in the next life 8-[ :mrgreen:
