Is that true? When reading the Korg website specs I did not see any mention of a Kronos Piano voice/patch/program in the Pa4x. I'd be interested to see any reference to that. All I saw from Korg was this:

"Included is a new multi-layer stereo grand piano (with damper and body resonance), plus electric pianos from the acclaimed KORG SV-1 Stage Piano."

Kindly let me know where I can verify that the Kronos piano is in the Pa4x. I would think that a Kronos piano voice would be a spectacular selling point, particularly as I was disappointed in the piano sounds that I heard come from the Tyros 5. It's all subjective, of course. Just my perception. It would be absolutely amazing if the new Pa4x could be had with the amazing Kronos Grand Piano sound. Hal


Actually, it is my impression as I know the Kronos/Krome German Grand quite well, I analyzed its sound compared to the M3 expansion piano. I'm pretty sure this PA-4x piano on Soundcloud is the Kronos German Grand, but it might have fewer layers or be looped and thus be reduced in sample size. In my comparison between the 2 GB Krome German Grand and the 128 MB M3 expansion piano I found that the sound difference is very, very small and only audible if single tones are sustained several seconds or a scale is played slowly to detect jumps in the timbre.
