Korg kronos is a great keyboard but some absence makes me dissatisfied.
No midi controls, time laps is seq mode, no 64bit windows program ..
Shame on korg! It's been over a year since the last update.
Look at the Yamaha montage! |

We all have our wish lists for Kronos.
While they are different, I think Yamaha MODX is putting pressure on Korg to get their game on. _________________ Kronos 88. MODX8

Oh I don't know....It's in the way you look at at.
I'm enjoying updates all the time in the form of new libraries
Admittedly I have to pay for them, but it certainly makes me feel like my Kronos is very "current" and up to date.
I think the Kronos can be as good as the sounds which it's loaded with! |

Now you've got me even more confused. _________________ "To me the synthesizer was always a source of new sounds that musicians could use to expand the range of possibilities for making music."

What are we supposed to look at in the Montage? If you want a Montage, go ahead. Kronos is a different monster. |

You mean "different," as in having an editable sequencer over the Montage's scratch pad sequencer? That does seem to be an odd comparison. A Kronos update would be nice, though.
I do agree that the MODX is an incredible value. I might get one, in the future. |

The part of Drama’s post: “Look at the Yamaha Montage”, was the reason of my comment and precisely, its the constant comparasion between instruments that are different what I find pointless. Different approaches, sound, character, etc. And Yeah, any update for the Kronos is welcome. |

Hi Mike,
I am curious to know what do you think the MODX can do that Kronos can't, so that you will buy one ? |

Probably not a lot, however, I came from Yamaha FM, so I would be interested in playing with that engine. I also like the character of the MODX filters. It's not something I need and I won't get it this year, if at all. But, the price is right and it could be a possibility at a later time.
Certainly, the Kronos is something that can keep me busy....forever. I have so much more to explore. |

Kronos is a 8 YO project, I think is quite normal that Korg stop the upgrade program, probably they are going to release a new model
Montage is a most recent instrument, so is a non sense to compare montage upgrades with Kronos.
Said that, I don't see montage at the same level of Kronos even considering the latest upgrades |

I've never had any interest in the Montage but that's only personal taste.
As far as FM programming goes, I think I could get whatever I want out of the Mod-7 engine.
The synth that has my interest even though it's way beyond my budget is the Moog One. _________________ If music is the food of love, play on and play loud!
