imagine someone who wants to buy a synthesizer but you advise him to buy KRONOS... would it be a wrong advise or not? why? having 9 synth engines is the same thing as having a well-known synth? because Kronos is also a workstation... what are the advantages of buying Kronos instead of a synth like Behringer Deepmind 12??

thanks!

I really don’t know anything about deep mind 12, but I can tell you I couldn’t gig without my K2.

If I owned one just one synth it would be the Kronos.

But variety is good, so I have a Minilogue for that Analogue instant tweakable
fizz and a Moog Mother 32 for the Moog tone and modulation fun.

but when you add up bang for buck, the Kronos gives and keeps on giving. Sequencer, Sampler, Combinations, pads , pianos, bass etc etc etc

Also a superior keybed, build quality and Korg Forums.

The Kronos has to be one of the best synths ever made, ignore the fact it has a workstation badge and it is a seriously powerful synth.

I would kill to keep my Kronos and wouldn't even bother with a deep mind if it was given to me free.

Kronos is class on its own cant compare it with anything out there.

Being a relative novice to the synth world my personal decision to purchase a Kronos was purely based on what you get for your investment...there is simply nothing out there at present that compares.

You more or less have the 'full package' at your fingertips with the Kronos,why compromise?... its deep but great fun to learn.

If you have to ask between the two, then you must not have a specific need in mind or a good enough understanding of them.

They are just too far apart in category to compare.

They each offer something the other does not but Kronos is the one that offers far more than the other, without really anything serious missing by not getting deep mind or similar.

Easy to substitute on kronos by using computer based synths and synth apps.

I think you would spend a whole lot more money trying to start with something like Deep Mind and then using computer and app based DAW and synths to bring Deep Mind to a place where it does what kronos does.

Kronos. Worst case scenario is you end up with more features than you need.

Kronos is something you need, An Analog synth is something you want or may need depending on your use case and GAS.

Having said that and already owning a Kronos.
I recently had a bad episode of GAS that has left me with a Novation Peak and a Moog Subsequent 37. Rolling Eyes
