 Posted: Sun Nov 06, 2011 12:38 pm Post subject: output volume low on Kronos 61? |
 |
|
I just recieved my Korg Kronos,
and noticed the output volume is pretty low....
with the knob on full level turned clockwise, it still didnt reach -10 db on my mixer? in combi mode with the drum it is a little bit more, but not much....
Is this normal, and if yes? Is it possible to turn up the master gain a few db's.
thanks allready.

Do you have your "Master" slider (To the left of the screen) up also?
Are you certain that you used the L&R outputs?

I noticed it is a bit lower than my M50 but I changed all set list volumes to 100 (from 127).

While this may not fix your problem, why would you use unbalanced cables, after shelling out thousands for the Kronos?
Also, what exactly is it that you are listing back from. Is it the keyboard phones, speakers, phones from your mixer? Maybe your mixer don't like unbalanced cables for K?

make sure the vector joystick is at " 3:00 " o' clock. Move it slightly to recalibrate.
I assume you are testing the kronos grand ?

some folks expect the AP's to instantly sound punchy.
Adding onboard Kronos eq/fx to ap's can make it sound ' louder '.
