Can the Kronos do drums synth stuff like the wave drum does with it algorithms or is it all loops? I am a little fuzzy on this point. Thanks! |

It would be interesting to know too whether we can use for example AL1, MOD7, or other voices to make drum kits rather than just HD1.
I don't think you'll find something exactly like the WaveDrum because a lot of the time that uses input from its microphones to model or in other ways control drum sounds in a 'live' way. That means it is based on live input - which is why it doesn't have MIDI.
At least on KRONOS and OASYS if drums are HD1 only, we can sample from AL1, MOD7, STR1, etc.
Remember in sequencer mode you have audio tracks too, so you can always sample your wavedrum! _________________ Current Gear: Kronos 61, RADIAS-R, Volca Bass, ESX-1, microKorg, MS2000B, R3, Kaossilator Pro +, MiniKP, AX3000B, nanoKontrol, nanoPad MK II,

It would seem to me that the "synth" engines (at least a couple of them) would be readily capable of generating old skool (303-909) synth based drum sounds from scratch (no pun intended) provided they had a sine wave and a bit of noise as wave forms, given that that's all the older DM's had in the way of sound sources.
I know I've seen "how to" articles in the past for building emulations.
After that, it's just a matter of logistics to get them into a kit - tho' it would be MUCH simpler and probably more doable to have those drums played by an arp or as part (midi range assigned) of a sequenced pattern.

Everytime I see a new electronic Drum kit or similar, I tend to look for sound programing, VA elements that gives me the opportunity to make Simmons Electronic drums sounds from the 80s. I would love to have an engine like that in the Kronos!
Still, there are no recreations. Everytime it is the same old Rompler drum stuff, with new fancy surface. bleh. |

All of the engines except SGX-1, EP-1, and CX-3 are capable of creating percussive sounds, using either sampling, VPM synthsis, analog modeling, or physical modeling.
If you're looking to recreate vintage analog sounds, I'd say you'll get the most flexibility out of AL-1, but both the PolysixEX and MS-20EX will give you different flavors as well. _________________ Richard Formidoni |
