Posts by 'PatK' at Sound on Sound and KVR show some convincing-looking (but very blurry) pictures of what he claims is a brand new Korg synth, to be launched at NAMM at the end of the month (there's also a teaser on the homepage at korg.com). It looks like a very high-end flagship synth with a big colour display and built-in CD-ROM, apparently costing around $7,000. Speculation is that it's 'open' in some way, i.e. it can play plug-ins of some kind. I like it because it's got a glowing blue joystick and huge aluminium end-panels. UPDATE: It's the Korg Oasys, it's got about a billion functions, and it costs $8,499! Product Page.

I think it might sound great, but it looks like little 'unfinished'.
