Yes I will Greg. Nice to chat again.
In fact I've just ordered my new Kronos 61 2 this very minute, so game on. It's arriving Monday.[/quote]
good to chat, brother. Will be like the good old days with the K2.
Do you produce your own video ? I admire how you create songs and match video[/quote]
It just happens Greg. I write stuff and then see how it feels and go from there with pics. There's no master plan. Just go with the flow.
My dads a jazz musician. Very analytical, I'm a bit unorthodox I suppose.
I'm not sure about the Kronos App yet but I'll let you know if it's worth it.[/quote]
I am with you- have a strong relentless Muse. Its awesome to create new material consistently. Since my tunes are also somewhat cinematic and are 'message ' songs I hope to add video this year.
Isn't it great how rich and famous we are becoming ? ( j/k) _________________ Kronos 88. MODX8

I decided a long time ago to trade rich and famous with ' not rich, not famous, not serious but happy and free' _________________ https://m.youtube.com/user/1967runningman |

Nice to see another Mancunian here
I had so much stress when I was younger. It was all very well trying to please record company execs and studio owners, but in '95 I gave it all up for a job in IT and finally retired in 2008. Musically, I just do want I want now and I couldn't be happier.
But Re. The Kronos... I've never been more impressed with a keyboard. It still stands up against today's best and considering the Kronos/Oasys platform is now 13 years old, I think Korg have done an incredible job with it. _________________ Synth DIY Projects |

Hi fellow Manc, that was a great post for your 1000th and agree completely.
My second Kronos arrives tomorrow , after a two year gap. Happy days

Just curious here, has anybody fooled around with using Cubasis instead of the onboard Kronos sequencer when connected to their iPad? _________________ If music is the food of love, play on and play loud!

I have one question, if you are so kind to answer me. How you are satisfied with your Roland FA 07, and combination with Kronos? I wish you all best in New year and with your new Kronos. |
Hi Pedja, good to hear from you. I haven't spent enough time with my FA.
Without a doubt the guitar sounds are stronger and will sit nicely in my multi track Songs.
I don't much care for the FA AP's- Kronos is far better. I knew that up front.
Many of the FA synth sounds are fresh and interesting to my ear. The FA does a nice job on orchestral acoustic instruments which is another reason I bought it.
FA has no orchestra type( ensemble to full) combis. Kronos is 100 times better developed on this type.
I like the integration with the Axial site. But I am not initially seeing sophisticated sound development/programming. Roland promised this 2 yrs ago. Its possible that I need to spend more time on Axial.
The 07 has a respectable synth action keyboard. I like it. I would not recommend the 06. If someone had to go budget, there are numerous 06's on eBay.
I still have to set up studio sessions and integrate the FA into my DAW. I am fairly confident this will improve my song recording.
Here are a few gripes. The screen is small. Many of the fonts are also small as a result, as all the details have to be packed in. I don't believe there is an editor.
My reading eye sight is decreasing in strength so I am critical of the use of super small fonts in Kronos and FA. ( i know about the remote app- it does not help the SEQ).
Anyway, I have new reading glasses which helps the problem.
I also think many of the controls should have had LED and light up for faster/easier navigation. I can see this as being a hassle on a poorly
lit stage. Once I develop my ' muscle memory' on the FA, this will be less
an issue.
Swapping sounds using the SD card seems weird to me. I also bought an
inexpensive SD card reader for my mac to help the process.
I am pleased with the price/value of the FA work station. I understood, a larger
screen and LED's would have made it more expensive. As usual, there are tradeoffs. _________________ Kronos 88. MODX8

Thanks for all GregC,
For fast reply and very detail view of Roland FA. I really appreciate this. I saw many video clips about FA line, but I like much, to hear opinion from someone who use this instrument, specially who use a Kronos too.
Best wishes, _________________ Pedja
