No price tag yet, but it seems more like an Oasys sucessor than a M3 one to me. So it is still safe to buy a M3..
I feel the same too....also if the M3 prices are slashed, it'll be a gr8 deal i think..

Of course Prashanth, it will be an expensive machine,
i think it might doubble M3s current price.

Well I guess if I get one it will have to be a 61 because from what I am reading the 73 and 88 are weighted keys. I am one of those odd people who do not like weighted keys.

I bet by March/April Sina will have several Kronos synths...
...except we wont get to see any pictures.
I just dread the day Sina comes back to this forum screaming because somebody stole one (or all) of his Kronos keyboards.
zzzzzzzzzz

i'm stuck w the 61 also, i use the keyboard more as input, not as a piano, so weighted keys would make my sequencing harder, at least that's what i'm thinking, i've always gone w the largest keyboard that isn't weighted

Prasanth, early this year would be a really good time to buy an M3m.
I bought mine for $1099 (new) in late September. I think you can get them
for that or less if you shop EBay.
The closer KRONOS is - the cheaper the M3 will be.
And I LOVE my M3m!
BTW, I used an old beat-up hardshell case that is fifteen years old,
to transport my M3m from the States. Customs saw the beat-up old
case and didn't even notice there was a brand new M3m inside it.
heh heh... I used to carry a Kawai K1 around in that case fifteen years ago.

lol thats gr8...there are shops here in Chennai that sell the m3 for a gud price..a little above the price quoted in KorgUSA website..so getting an m3 here will not be a problem...and i'm interested in the M3-88...i dont think i can afford the kronos 88 atleast for now..coz its price will be increased to around 160% of the original when it is imported here

Should be so by now, but if you come across one that isn't XPanded, its only a (free) software update away!
