Tony, after hearing the Kronos YouTube demos you shared with me, and having had experience with the original Korg Karma some time ago in the studio, I'd say it is the perfect companion to a Tyros4.

Dream kit for sure.

And you have the advanced playing skills to make great use of such a combination...even though you mainly play at home.

I can see Donny's point in that an arranger would do the gig job on it's own, and probably simplify setup/teardown, but, having both the Kronos and Tyros4 on a gig would be the bomb.

The world would be your oyster, even though it's going to cost you a few clams.

I don't envy people, but I'm coming close to it with your possible purchase of the Kronos to use as a companion to your Tyros4.

After all the problems, issues, and frustrations, you had with the Ketron Audya, and in spite of how great it sounds, I know you'll be glad to see those end cheeks go out the door.

Korg's reputation is far better, and you can rest assured you will get great support, especially on Korg Forums, and also here on SZ.

Great choice, Tony,

Ian
