To be honnest I think it will be a great worktool for sounddesign.
If you know what an Oasys can do then this is cheaper and more versatile

Looks and sounds really good to me!

It's basically a Korg Oasys with a couple of extra instruments included (a disk streaming acoustic piano and a modelled electric piano), a weight reduction(!) and a reduced price tag, which seems to have upset some Oasys owners!

Here is a video of the actual product launch at NAMM:

Interesting how the Oasys is not mentioned through the launch! I have an Oasys 88 and think it's the best sounding synth I have ever owned but it's very heavy and difficult to transport. The 61 key Kronos is much lighter so should be good for concerts.

Here's a forum discussion of a comparison between Kronos and Oasys:

As a reply to your question, if the Kronos has the same D/A converters as the Oasys then I definitely take a fancy to this as the Oasys sound is superb and the flexibility of all the synth model options will keep anyone busy for a very long time.

Cheers,
Michael.

It seems to be an interesting instrument. If it does the Wavestation thing by the factor ten, I think I might be interested.

But first I need to get that Wave 2.
