Am I the only one who takes these “legends returns“ for a lack of innovation? Noticed that for a while in triple A gaming. I get it, companies are playing safe, but I don’t want to be sold the same thing over and once again.. Edit: typo

This is intended to be a faithful recreation of a classic synth, for collectors / rich enthusiasts
Very curious about the design, wish they’d show more photos and say more about it. Where are all those cables stored? Is the keyboard supposed to fold into the main case somehow? Reminds me a bit of the C100 “developer terminal”: https://caligra.com/c100/ (which I just noticed is now shipping)

they are classics for a reason and subtractive synthesis is mostly "done", so it's more about bringing classic sound characters due to subtle differences in components / architecture back

Likely around £11,000 I heard. That gives me the same feeling as a concert grand piano or installed pipe organ. I'll never get to own one or probably even touch one but I'm glad they exist for professional musicians to use. Luckily cheap software and hardware synths can give us all a taste of what they're like. This Korg seems more like something for museums or professional studios.

Unbelievable. I guess because of a lot of bored software people rather than trained musicians.
Probably some of both, but 11k is extremely reasonable for this. If I understand correctly, it has 3x complete subtractive synths per key (not just 3 oscillators into 1 filter) x 49 keys. A typical analog polyphonic synth has maybe 8 voices. The comparison is more like bulldozer vs. car than BMW vs. Toyota - entirely new capabilities are unlocked
But unfortunately, it will primarily be used by rich YouTube "creators" to recreate some old Jean-Michel Jarre tracks.

Toys for rich kids with a lack of talent basically.
There will be a few old school Brian Eno adjacent types who'll want one to make noise with ... and some talent will be requisite to avoid sounding like a bag of cats being poked with a stick.

It must be understood that, unlike grand pianos, the building containing an installed pipe organ is integral to its operation and sound, so their costs, construction and maintenance are inextricably linked for the lifetime of the instrument.
