Ujiie-san playing the new EP Early sound, as well as a selection of presets from a variety of engines.

I have yet to lay hands on a Kronos - any of the iterations - so I don’t know which presets he plays are new to the latest iteration, other than the EP Early

I think he plays mostly new presets.

Some visibly use third party samples (KApro, etc). I wonder whether or not this was what they meant by “curated programs from the Kronos Sound Libraries”. To be seen whether this curated sample set could then be purchased by non-Kronos 3 users. I speculate that they will do so because they can make easy money this way, both with the existing Kronos/Nautilus user base and via a port to the Korg Module soft synth.

Other presets rely on modeling only, eg str1, ms20, poly6, etc. so they can be easily imported into older Kronos synths. If/Once they release their OS update for older Kronos series, then EP Early will also be available to those. Fingers crossed.

EDIT: I have just checked the available Tine models on my Kronos OS version 3.x. It does have Tine I but there are no early and late varieties. So voilà, it will be a tiny update in this regard.
