With the non-announcement of a Pa3x successor at Messe, do you think Korg might be facing a similar hurdle? That is, if Korg uses Older hardware of the same type as Yamaha. I imagine Korg doesn't have quite the R&D capability, in terms of funding, that Yamaha does.
Korg italy does....
Yet Korg Japan have allready taken that hurdle... Sadly it seems both departments almost work sepperately.. There is a lot of god things like DNC that are in the synth engine of the Pa3x that didnt yet make it into the HD1 engine of Kronos...
Pa3x hardware is comparable with Yamahas
Kronos is build with modern PC haddware (tough the very low end)
