Great, but how to get specs in English...

Looks like they included the upgraded M3 Xpanded sequencer - complete with piano roll editing capability and velocity metering. Kronos owners have been frustrated that the M3's sequencer didn't make its way into the flagship workstation.

I expected that the new version of the M50, the newbie Krome will incorporate DAW over USB, but it seems to use the old EDS engine or maybe a similar approach. This means that you need to perform a DAC to ADC conversion to record its sounds on a performance, a big drawback due the complexity and insertion of noise. In other word the new Krome series don´t follow the advantages of other brands, for example Yamaha MOX with direct DAW over USB recording. In other word no direct digital recording capabilities.

Just because it uses the EDS engine doesn't mean they can't offer those features. The M3 could do it over FireWire. We'll have to wait to see the full specs really.

It IS the replacement of the M50. Absolutely.

Another important feature improved: 120 voices of poliphony.
