Hmmmm, does not seem to be an issue with Korg Italy. All the PA series keyboards had the ability to read and play MP3s!!!!
And imho, an MP3 at 296 has almost no discernible difference to a wav in sonic quality when played via a PA (audio) system, but it sure is a LOT smaller... |
The codec is public but anyone selling/using it must pay a license, it's not much. Programing it into kronos should be more than feasable, quite easy even.
I agree there's no discernible difference between lossless and lossy material coded in mp3, at even as low as 160 kbps (128 if AAC/mp4), when you *listen* to it.
However, when you apply DSP to it, since there's much of the signal missing (although you can't hear it, you could later on if it were lossless and you would electronically enhance it) thus lossyness has an impact on the result of the DSP effect (it may sound shallower, thinner, colder, strenghless, whatever rather subjective feeling on the sound you may wanna add).
Kind Regards,

|
|
I just bought the Blue Yeti USB mic which is recognized a first class mic 
However, it only works on the computer with USB. There are other USB mics delivering great results too. So I was wondering how about adding support tho directly plug those mics to the Kronos?

I think FLAC would be more appropriate |

The ability to select an autorun/autostart option voor songs in the SetList.
Touching a Songslot in the Setlist triggers the sequencer to run automaticaly if selected.
This would resolve the lack of the Cuelist in Seqencer Mode for me, despite I still have to raise a hand to select the song. (But better than two, one for the selecting en one to press start)
Now I really hope Korg reads this stuff and at least discuss suggestions made in their R&D team.
As a Kurzweil user and beta-tester I can tell you that Korg has something to learn from the way R&D react on user suggestions.
Two suggestions I made, were in the next update a few weeks later.
And you almost always get a reaction. |

A better Sync algorithm for AL-1
Better Al-1 filters, Kronos have a very "digital" caracter.
A hyper/super Saw oscilator
COMB Filters.
A complete overhaul for AL-1 engine, Kronos have the best routing and modulación posibilities but have thin osc and Filters
Radias vocoder and formant recording capabilities
Better combi polyphony management.
Posibility for swich off SST to gain procesor resources.
44.1 khz SPDIF output
64bits OS
And of course, a usable VST editor with 64 bits version "ala" virus TI

+1
I would apprechiate that feature, too,
and in addition, if possible, Smooth Sound Transition when switching form one Songslot to another. |

The possibility to see the 4 kronos audio output when it is used as soundcard via USB.
But....maybe this is not possibile because kronos not have ASIO audio drivers but is class compliant....
Technically this is possibile if korg will release ASIO audio drivers?
Thanks |

I am not sure of the following ideas are mentioned before, maybe there should come some kind of masterlist... Anyway, my suggestions would be:
- set list: possibility to save all the parameters as currently set for a combi or program, not just the volume. I work with NI Kore, and the beauty of it is that it saves all settings of the loaded VST's (I am so sad NI stopped further development...)
- A real VST plug-in with which you can control the Kronos as if it where a software instrument. The current editor doesn't give you any realtime parameters to your VST host.
- VST Host EXi: as we speek about VST's anyway. If Kronos could be a VST host like NI Kore... Think about it: Omnisphere on your Kronos.... Since Kronos is linux based it should be possible. Talking about an expandable instrument...need a bigger ssd though.
- IPad interface: bigger touchscreen and give it any angle you want. By the way, I connected my IPad to the USB and after a while the Kronos gave a sudden reboot. I am not sure if the IPad caused this, it's just to to warn you... |

SST isn't always necessary - for example in a studio situation. I'd rather have an option to override SST for a particular song or combi, and get 24 or more IFX.
Alternatively, ability to temporarily override the entire FX chain for audio recording - and then switch back to it later. For full guitar FX stacks or such.

I read a similar post before, just a few days ago. I don't believe that SST does really reserve half of the processing power for a smooth transistion. That would really be ridiculous. As we are not talking about dedicated per-voice or per-effect DSPs anymore, but rather a general purpose CPU - one of the most impressive features of the Kronos is the way it allocates CPU power as necessary. I've never had a synth before, where polyphony was maxed (e.g. visible in the CPU performance tab) without actually hearing it so little.
In fact, during SST I am fairly sure that some "older" notes are cut off earlier than normal, and some resources are freed in advance, but below the line, it's just dynamical resource allocation with no real overhead.
Which means: Cancelling SST would not double the performance.

That's possible: In "global" there is an option "Disable all IFX" and "Disable all MFX/TFX" |

.Jens,
In the manual it does actually state that the Kronos keeps one 'FX rack' 'in reserve'. I don't know if this is an over-simplification for explaining to users, but from a engineering point of view (as a computer programmer), I can also see why it would be necessary. Yes there is dynamic resource allocation, but computing resources are still computing resources - they have to come from somewhere.
There is a setting for the duration of the SST for tailing FX which is one thing which can affect notes being cut off.
Also, I'm not suggesting that there would be a massive increase in processing power, only that more FX would be useful for mixing/mastering a full production. Not extra polyphony or anything like that.
As for the global mode option, I haven't looked but wouldn't this just turn off all effects? I haven't tried any audio track recording yet but what I'm looking for is to set up some FX chain for audio recording (the output of which goes to an audio track, taking input from the line inputs), for example to get amp modelling on guitars and such whilst recording.
Again, I don't know if that is already possible because I haven't had a chance to try it, but if there isn't some option there, it would be nice to have.

Hi Xtrade,
that's correct, there is a second FX "rack". But as far as I understand the manual (there are some more statements about FX and SST), that is first of all a second group of slots for the "administration" of FX - I don't think that it really reserves notable amounts of CPU time. E.g. it is also stated that SST will not function at all if the FX are already consuming too much CPU power. That - as a consequence - sounds to me as if SST is some kind of "bonus" available only if there is some CPU headroom. If this is not the case, SST is sacrificed for more FX "power" - not vice versa (FX power reduced for SST). And furthermore, I am fairly sure that as long as you don't actually use SST (by switching sounds while playing), CPU resources are not affected... |

Given the small characters due to high resolution of the screen, IMHO Kornos Sequencer mode needs, at least, the same Anchor to follow the song position while the song its running. The M3 have this anchor which follows the playback through the recorded data, and IT IS handy, and in this case necessary.
