I just spent some time on Youtube checking out the latest keyboards and man oh man did I find one.

The brand new Korg Kronos.

This thing is so awesome even I am completely blown away and I thought I had seen everything in keyboards. I spent about an hour playing it this afternoon at West LA Music and it looks and feels even better than it does in the video. I'm not going to go into the whole thing except to say this, the guy doing the intro spiel says this is a game changer and he's right. Every other keyboard will have 64, 128, maybe 256 megs of on board sample ROM and if you're lucky another 256 of sample RAM. That's a lot. He selected the German Grand patch and said the sample set alone for that piano is 4.7 Gigs. 4.7 Gigs!?! This keyboard has a 60 gig SSD for onboard sample storage. Every sample and there's tons of them are like that. It's like a hardware Gigasampler. But, that's only for the sample based synths. There's 9 completely different discrete synths in this keyboard and all of them can be plugins on your computer system via USB. The 8" touch screen is amazing and then you can control...Ah, I'm starting to ramble.

All you keyboardists out there just check out this video.

I wanna, I wanna,

I..Want..It,

Waaaaa......

My problem is I never buy the latest and greatest when they first come out, I wait a while for a better price but man, this thing may just get me.
