Posted: Fri Jul 01, 2022 3:28 pm Post subject: STREAM DECK & KORG KRONOS |
|
|
Hello guys! 🖖 I’m finally working on the Rock Combi Pack I promised a while ago. I constantly jump between Kronos and my computer while working, so to speed up my workflow, I made a Stream Deck profile for Kronos and you can download it for free! It sends Sysex and Midi messages for things like Karma Scenes and Switches, Mute/Solo operations, etc. It is super useful for the studio and also for the stage when Kronos is used with a computer.
I even made a macro to prepare the combi for multiple scenes 😃 It does this with a push of a button:
- Checks A, B, C, D for the first 4 rows on "Perf RTP" tab
- Assigns Sw1-8 to each row
- Selects “Key Zones” from Group menus for each row
- Turns off the “Run” boxes on GE Setup tab
- Changes “Module Control” to “Master”
- Changes “Control Surface” mode to “RT Knobs/Karma”
- Turns Karma On
You can read about it on my blog. I also have a bonus tip there for sharing a qwerty keyboard between Kronos and computer:

Pretty cool. I built myself a Virtual Stream Deck using an Android Tablet that connects directly to the KRONOS as a Midi Controller. Comes in very handy as I’ve certain macro’s written that do various complicated tasks. Doesn't have that nice tactile feedback you get from a Stream Deck though.

Thank you! I also tried my old iPad for similar needs but as you said there is no tactile feedback from the buttons. Then I built my own Arduino buttons with an OLED screen but then visual feedback was limited. So Stream Deck has both in a nice package. Of course, it's not standalone like those setups but when combined with Keyboard Maestro on Mac, the sky is the limit! _________________

Hi Sharp - a macro environment for an Android tablet sounds really useful. Have you been able to share your code on Github or elsewhere? _________________ Kronos2 73, Presonus StudioLive, Cakewalk / Sonar Platinum, Windows 10 |

Sorry, I took the lazy way out from a GUI point of view and hard coded it. To make it universal I'd have to build GUI that allows you to select and assemble midi events from a table in order to generate a macro you would need.
Might see what's involved in that, or if something like it already exists.
Regards
Sharp. _________________

So, there's definitely no possibilty to connect the Stream Deck directly to the Kronos, also not with the latest version of the deck? _________________ Kronos 2-88 & X73, Kurzweil MicroPiano, Spitfire Albion V Tundra, BBCO Core, Nylon Guitar Ilya Efimov, Xtant Audio Uilleann Pipes - in use
