Kronos 2 88 SE or wait new "Kronos 3"

[ArminH]

There will be for sure something new sometimes in the future.

Maybe a Kronos3 or something with a new name.

And then some years later a Kronos 4 or whatever.

The question should be - what do YOU need and does the current Model deliver all this?

If yes - buy - and forget for years all about new Keyboards.

What are you waiting for? Just do it. Buy it. You won't regret it.

Even if Korg rolls out a new flagship workstation, I doubt the price for the Kronos: 1, X, 2, will drop considerably. Look at the N264/N364. The used price for that model is stil between $800 and $1600 USD. It's older than the Trinity line too. Cost for an N264 back in '98, was around that price, if I'm not mistaken. The price on the Trinity line...well, it keeps dropping.

You may want to invest in a good keyboard stand for the 2 88. I personally use the Griffin Double Keyboard Stand - Studio Stage Mixer Turntable DJ Coffin 2 Tier at home, and use the On-Stage KS7350 Pro Heavy-Duty Folding-Z Keyboard Stand when performing live. It has a smaller footprint from the Griffin above, and to transport it, I use a SafeCase coffin with caster wheels. Both stands are sturdy as Hell and support the weight of the keyboard, and you definitely don't get the wobbling you get with the other less expensive stands out there.

It would be interesting if the o/p circles back given all the good/reasonable info
provided.

And his [ o/p] is a burning question for many, I suspect.
Its an expensive purchase, an investment to be carefully considered.

Kronos gets the job done with lots of function to spare. Home studio or gigging.

Without a doubt there are numerous alternatives, and/or platforms.

Above I posted 9 bullet points or reasons why I think Kronos is practically timeless. Its IMO, of course.

I immensely enjoy creating music on my 9 yr old Kronos.

You nailed it, Greg!:verycool: This workstation is timeless.

The Kronos is an answered wish/prayer for most of us using Korg workstations since the M1.
