Hi Tony
The Kronos has 9 sound engines, there are hundreds of sound engines and grove boxes out there via VST, and the MS can load and play most of them, (Only the ones that have an anti-piracy USB dongle or smaller manufactures products elude it) so it is already way ahead of the Kronos in that department.

I must admit though that I am very impressed with Kronos so far (If the demos are anything to go by) as by hardware workstation boards, it leaves the rest of them trailing. (Now if Korg added it to the PA3x, WOW)
