Kronos owner here... I am looking to add to my rig, or potentially replace my kronos for certain purposes. Essentially, I am very 'against' using 'natural' sounds in my band... I prefer to keep everything synthesized without using samples of strings for example. That said, the kronos is absolutely killer for that Smile

The KK is cheaper, lighter, and can probably achieve the essential sound Im after. Heres me looking for some insight as to what you guys like and dislike about the king korg. Bonus points if you have or are familiar with the kronos too and can tell me what the general drawbacks would be in terms of live integration.

Thanks!

Stop thinking, stop asking other, just go out and buy the KingKorg.

I find it compliments the Kronos just great.

Left Hand playing Karma on the bottom half of the Kronos, Playing lead lines and melody with the right hand rotating back and forth between the Kronos and KingKorg.

The KingKorg is smooth sounding (not as aggressive as some). Capable of fast editing and live performance adjustments.
