Korg KRONOS 2 Discontinued!
It appears that after 11 years, Korg have decided to discontinue the KRONOS line of music workstations, leaving the Nautilus as their new “top of the heap.”

Kronos Accessory DVD-ROM Images and Kronos OS Updates
There seem to be a lot of people who have difficulties downloading the ISO files used for reimaging a Korg Kronos from the official Korg support web site — Korg’s site is very slow to load and a bit cranky when it comes to downloads.

And also, like the Wavestate counterparts, the opsix SE models ship with a custom hard case, making them gig-ready.
The State of Wave[state]
Back in 2020 or thereabouts (thenabouts?), Korg reinvented the Wavestation, and called it the wavestate. With four complete wave sequencing synth engines and the ability to mix and morph between them, the wavestate packed a lot of punch in its 37-key body, and pushed the Raspberry Pi Compute Module beyond what most mortals thought possible.

OK, so I’m running a bit behind, but back at the beginning of the year, I resolved to make more time to make the music I want to make. I…
