You need a certain volume of sales to maintain a set schedule for new models. And Korg rather upset that schedule with the NEXT OS which could have legitimately been simply a new model (it’s amazing how little new sound or style content arranger players are willing to accept in a new model) and no-one would be talking about an overdue schedule...

I think, were I a Korg user, I’d just be grateful Korg gave me a new arranger for free (and a bunch of really good styles as freeware)!
