You have......

An Orchestra
A synthesiser
A choir
A studio

Hours of hard slog with genuine hope of brilliance
A means of expression, fulfilment, imagination, expression
A chance to actually finish off and complete your journey
Every colour of sound from the ridiculous to the sublime
Effects that describe the universe
A friend a mistress a companion
A forum that connects people, all colours, creeds and sex
A steroid for your potential
It's genius, magnificent, beautiful, crazy, alive.

It is an historic accomplishment, so much for so little. Legendary
Keyboard that in the era of software music and prefabricated plastic
regurgitated, recycled convenience compositions, Kronos is a God,
Proud immortal and true.

(Yep I'm getting old, eccentric and philosophical)
Very Happy

Old and senile? I resemble that remark! Wink

Just last night I was in my bands' studio recording keyboard tracks. I only did piano and organ. One sound per song. The organ sound is one that I came up with using the CX-3 engine. I've been tweaking this one for quite a while now but I defy anybody to tell the difference between it and a real B-3.

Thank you Korg!

There really is nothing even close to the Kronos and I'm not sure if any other company can do it!

Yes! I constantly hear people saying how the CX-3 engine is no good etc... and doesn't sound like a B3. Glad to hear that it can.

I still have an original demo that consisted of my Yamaha EX-5, Korg Oasys-PCI (for drums) and guitar through a Roland VS2480. I actually was able to run the OasysPCI card(Win 95) and Nuendo 1.0(Win2000)... Thanks to WinME. Still love the drums. Not quite DFH, but the best at the time!

I don't get to spend as much time writing music as I would like to, but I have found that since I've had my Kronos, writing is much more of a pleasure and just fooling around on my Kronos I am still almost 5 years later finding inspiring sounds.

Since I am also much more familiar with it, I am also much more capable of creating new sounds as well. I used to be a bit afraid but not any more! Now I'm fearless when it comes to creating new sounds! I just go for it!

jeremykeys,

Would you be willing to share the organ patch you created?

Thanks in advance!

I still haven't got to the bottom of my Kronos... it's programming is deep & wide...

My Korg M1 was completely transparent to me ... I could program that in my sleep ..
My Korg DW8000 was also very straight forward...

but 9 synth engines are way too much for me to conquer...

So, it doesn't use the "new" CX-3 model that was introduced a couple of years ago?

Yes it does. I never really thought about it. I just made it for fun and then it turned out to be my favorite organ sound. I use the expression pedal a lot when I'm playing it live. I try to do everything that a person playing a real Hammond would do. I think this has more to do with the sound than anything, really. You have to remember that since the B-3 was invented, it's probably gone through multiple internal changes as parts became scarce. This is purely my theory by the way but I think it holds. As far as I've been able to find out, no 2 B-3's ever sounded exactly the same and some just sounded better than others.
I think it often came down to the player. Like any other instrument, violin for example, you have to "work" it. Move the draw bars, etc. mid song.
