It's been 4 years since Kronos 2 and things have gotten mightly quiet around these here parts. Anyone hear any rumors for a new keyboard release in 2019? Anything at NAMM 2019?

look about 20 topics down
" Kronos Replacement Blues"
As expected, since this is a Kronos forum, so our remarks focus on that and/or Korg.
I am interested in what Roland might do.
If you like speculation discussion, there is typically 1 discussion every 2 weeks.
Plus " Latest News " as some chat.

Maybe Roland will re announce a new synth rebirth of the JD-800 but with more voices (128 insted of 24) and more parts in a performance (8 instead 4)...
And in “Midi mode” every performance can keep their original effects setting...

Do you have a solid information about this ?

We probably won't get a Kronos replacement since I think it's safe to say Kronos is still King of the workstations but I do strongly believe we will get a new Tuner

There is a Volca... there is always a new Volca.
I'm guessing it will be the VolKron, a complete Kronos replacement, twice the power of the current Kronos and fits in your satchel. Only down side is you have to play it with a stylus like a Stylophone.

The new Volca was announced or disclosed in a Korg podcast. The VP of Marketing was there- I think they are promoting a new name in a contest.
The board is not of interest to me, so I am sketchy on details.

So Yamaha did produce cheaper version of Montage and Korg will put more expensive version of Kronos just because we want it

exactly.
Lets all spin around, make a wish and snap our fingers 3 times and see it come true
In a way, I will be glad when NAMM 2019 is over, Actually Day 1 or 2 , the major product announcements are done.
Co's like Korg might do a 10 day teaser countdown. I really dislike this marketing gimmick. Yes, I am old[er].
