Not only is this a fantastic demo, but it really makes me want to break out Parasomnia for yet another listen!

Thank you Jordan, thank you Korg. My Kronos 3 is here in the studio with me. It's very complete! Powerful workstation.

The biggest update for normal people is the Kronos 3 now takes 30 seconds to boot instead of the infamous 2:30 minutes of the past three versions. Doesn't quite put it near Clavia and their 3 second booting Nord Stage, but at least makes it on par with the competition.

For more than 30 years Jordan has been wow'ing us with his mesmerizing artistry. It is always a pleasure to hear and watch him play.

I remember working at Sam Ash music in Huntington NY in the late 80s, and I'd sometimes have to call the Korg headquarters in Westbury NY, and Jordan would often be the person you'd talk to for support.

Always happy to see Jordan describing his rig. Such an enthusiastic wizard! 😊

Amazing that this technology and core is at least 15-20 years old and still keeping up. Next year the Kronos has 15 year anniversary. Someone has been very visionary back in the 00'es. Hope to see another leap at NAMM 2026.

If I ever had to go back to a hardware rig, Kronos would be it. Awesome machine.

I loved the Kronos. Used the gen1 for 13 years. Recently sold it and went for the Montage M8x, since the Kronos gen3 basically is a gen 1 on steroids. I was deeply disappointed when I saw that nothing fundamentally has changed in 14 years. Waiting for the real successor.

Hi Korg, never stop creating that keyboard 🎹 That keyboard is perfect, I hope you release more models similar to that one, greetings from Iquique, Chile🇨🇱

I've been comparing the Kronos 3 to the Yamaha montage m8x - I know the kronos has way more sequencing capabilies, but I care more about the piano sounds, sounds in general and effects. Love to hear thoughts.

Jordan made many contributions to making this synth what it is today!! Congratulations Korg-Jordan.

Not fair... I'm in Syracuse. This just got posted today, but the Syracuse show was a couple of months ago. "I'm in Syracuse tonight..." got me all excited.
