Wow, I thought I had a keyboard museum GDaddy.

Yes, those 9 separate synths are the bomb. Every company will put elements of their best keyboards in something like this like Roland putting some organ patches from their VK8 organ clone in their Fantom series. Here, Korg has put their entire CX-3 inside the Kronos. Same for the EP section. It's their entire SV-1 Vintage Keys board plus more that's not included in those boards according to their blurbs. Those keyboards sell for around $2,500 each and that's only 2 of the 9.

Everybody has opinions, I've read on a couple of forums where someone said they don't like the German Grand in the Kronos. They must be on crack or something. They haven't adjusted the height of the lid, the mic placement and mic type, the stereo field, the resonance dampers, and this isn't even going into the full software EQ/compressors/mixing/mastering suite that's available to adjust the sound. Anybody who can't get a good piano sound out of a 4.7 gig sample using all of that just isn't paying attention.

For me, I'm probably going to go back to Kurzweil and pick up a PC3 with the new 2.01 OS. I was looking at it last year and didn't like their KB3 but they have greatly improved it with the new OS. Since they've just come out with the new PC3K version the standard PC3 is now going for $1,500+ in some places. As much as I love that Kronos the PC3 is no slouch and I'll wait for the Kronos to drop down a bit.
