My one "Gripe" with the Kronos line, is that they gave us 9 Synth engines, but very little dedicated realtime controls to take full advantage. yes you can use the sliders, but I always get confused as to which mode I'm in during a live performance and really can't read crap on stage to find the one that says Sustain. They could of created a dedicated Synth section; ala Nord, with realtime controls for OSC, Cutoff, ADSR, etc. to interact with those 9 synths.

I'm dumbfounded no enterprising midi controller manufacturer has created a midi controller specific to the Kronos with the realtime controls and keybed people have been asking for.

How about a Kronos with the Yamaha Montage “superknob” functionality ? Rolling Eyes

I attached a glowing LED to the vector joystick.

And it changes colors according to the mood of the song plus it calibrates
to BPM

Very interesting, Greg. I'd like to see that.

I am just guessing here is it possible for Kronos to get gadget incorporated ?

Had a dream, an interesting new synth keyboard came out.
Not enough details about what it was, other than it was new fare for competition among makes and models.
Odd new shade of the more common keyboard color.
Nothing spectacular about the outside look though.

Must be coming soon. I have seen it inside my crystal eyeball.
While i was dozed off early dawn of Saturday morning.
Could it be the grand blaster of them all? On its way? AlreadY?

Saying what we would like in new workstation how many of us can say that we (I exclude myself ) mastered our Kronos so the workstation itself is hampering our talent and only another much higher specs workstation will make us more creative .
Of course new gear is always welcome I would be inclined to get a new Kronos just because I can nothing more than that.
