#Korg volca drum gearslutz upgrade

The Kronos clearly needs some file handling polish and the like, but 98% of it is near perfect. The result can (somewhat) resemble an elephant with fairy wings and a tail on each end. My question is this: outside the endless debate over piano purity, what else *could* any workstation offer you? The new Fantom seems pretty inviting, but it also has a whiff of 'Horse designed by a committee' to it. If at all, I think it will be several years before Korg considers an updated Kronos.

Then, a Kronos 3 with every upgrade desired would flood the market with 1st and 2nd generation Kronoses. I haven't seen sales numbers on the Roland Fantom but I seriously doubt that it's flying out of the stores. Workstations in the >$3k range are slowly becoming thinner air. The Nautilus has more features than a DP making it a standalone performance, compoosition and recording tool at a decent price point. IMO, the Korg Nautilus is the direction of future workstations especially as more musos are tethered to laptops and tablets. There are other things I could think of, but if they are just software changes, they don't necessarily need a new model, just an OS update, so I focussed more on stuff that new hardware could actually facilitate.Brotha Scott, while I can see a very small Kronos market for the upgrades mentioned in those threads, I'm not convinced that a flagship workstation will sell enough units to make it worthwhile to the manufacturers.

Some thoughts in my post.and CEB's message that followed about better pedal support.

If the Korg Nautilus does well as a Kronos-lite, beyond a faster start up time and modern day GUI, I'm wondering what else a new Kronos could offer that would keep it in flagship workstation territory.
