Tapas,
Thanks for the detailed evaluation....
I understand where they are...and that is basically an announced prototype...with nothing to make us feel good about the sound.

You know features are very important...but to me now days sound has to be the main issue.

I suspect the sounds are better, but for the sounds I care most about I bet there is no 'WOW' facter.

I think Korg PA (Italy) is pissed about the whole thing and that is why you see NOTHING on the official PA website yet.
To them it is not annouiced!

If Korg USA pushed to do this pre-announce then they blew it big time.

If Korg wants to be just like wersi and basically ignore arrangers in the USA...that's fine...I can always go Yamaha.
