![]() So is this the instrument to take Korg forward into the next decade? The Core Of The Kronos And, although its sombre styling is more reminiscent of an M1 or a Wavestation, its control panel also looks suspiciously like that of an OASYS. Announced at the NAMM show in January and, at the time of writing, still a few weeks away from distribution, its specification looks much like a revised OASYS. ![]() I concluded that the M3 was more a step up from Korg's Triton than a step down from their OASYS, and was not a replacement for the company's previous flagship.īut now there's the Kronos. ![]() What's more, it didn't support the OASYS's EXis (expansion instruments), so six of the OASYS sound generators were missing. However, while its EDS (Enhanced Definition Synthesis) sound generator was based upon the core HD1 (High Definition) synthesizer engine in the flagship OASYS, it offered a smaller ROM, less processing power, less sample RAM, fewer effects slots, and lower polyphony. When Korg released the M3, I wondered whether this might be the company's equivalent to the CS80 - a great synth built on similar technology to a rare and expensive predecessor, but refined and made affordable. The 73‑note version of the Kronos employs the fully‑weighted RH3 keyboard found on Korg's SV1. Meet the Kronos in our world exclusive review. Korg really know what they're doing when it comes to workstations, and their new one has been eagerly anticipated.
