Kronos is undoubtedly the absolute best music workstation keyboard in the world right now. No other keyboard is even close to this "beast" at this point, even though price-wise its the cheapest in its class among other "flagship" products like MOTIF, Jupiter, etc. But, the sound quality and features in this thing makes it the heart of your gear by being not only the ultimate live performer but also as the ultimate music production tool as well.
