Would The Oasys have any special advantages being midi in to Kronos ?
Could I use Oasys pads to trigger Kronos ?
Thanks |
Sure - the KRONOS pads respond to MIDI just like the OASYS pads. For that matter, you could use any MIDI pad device. |
Hi Dan,
Does that mean one could connect the Nanopad and use its pads to trigger?

nope. You can't hook the nanoPAD to it directly. I'm really surprised they didn't consider that integration.
But right now, no. Maybe someday but don't hold your breath. But THIS will work:

Thank you, McHale.
Would be interested to know why it is possible with OASYS but not with the Nanopad. It would have been my first thought to offer this (cross selling) and although I guess the pads on the screen are ok, I prefer real pads. I am using the OASYS pads a lot - most of my tracks therefore have only 8 chords - and would like to see a similiar solution for KRONOS.

Hmmm... someone who was at NAMM said they asked this specific question and were told it wasn't on the radar. I like your answer better. We can make all sorts of wild rumors up with that info!
Don't forget the other nano devices.

Don't run away with that, though! The flipside is that just because something has been considered doesn't mean a guarantee that it will happen. I'm not making any promises here - we haven't even shipped version 1.0 yet!

Oh I know that. Since the synth is running on Linux, theoretically, it's just a needed driver. Unfortunately, it's not always that simple. Worse comes to worse, we have padKONTROL. _________________ Current Korg Gear: KRONOS 88 (4GB), M50-73 (PS mod), RADIAS-73, Electribe MX, Triton Pro (MOSS, SCSI, CF, 64MB RAM), SQ-64, DVP-1, MEX-8000, MR-1, KAOSSilator, nanoKey, nanoKontrol, 3x nanoPad 2, 3x DS1H, 7x PS1, FC7 (yes Korg, NOT Yamaha). |

What are the odds for either a 73/76 key semi-weighted or at least a KOMPONENT version?
Thanks! |
I understand that some players prefer a larger semi-weighted keyboard. Unfortunately, these models often aren't particularly strong sellers. People also often ask for a smaller weighted keyboard as well, and we've gone in that direction with the 73.
We generally stick with three models (daddy-bear, mama-bear, and baby-bear ). More models can become impractical for various reasons, and so while I'd never say never, I wouldn't expect additional models anytime soon. I wish that we could make the perfect keyboard for everyone, but I hope that one of the three choices will be close enough!
Best regards,
Dan |
Would it be feasible to turn the Kronos into a module - just the controllers plus the screen - so it could be used with any MIDI controller keyboard or sequencer? I imagine that inside it's basically a laptop and is only the size it is because of the keyboard stuck on the front of it. |

As an M3-88 owner I would love it if a module version was released that would fit next to my M3 module. finally being able to use the modular nature of the M3 would be nice.
Also do we know yet if the VSTi editor for the KRONOS and the M3's version play nice together?
Thanks
Simon. |

Oh please if you put the Piano roll, please... NO STYLUS!!
I want use an instrument, not an 90's PDA. Make it work smoothly with touchscreen. There's tons of solution. Think iPhone, there's lot of Apps, even on a small screen, that are very useful, do have great workflow and work with the finger only... That's what we carry all the time... So forget the stylus!
Thanks,
Phil |

- Dan | It would be really awesome if this function would be implemented, make sure you pass the word to the developers in japan I would instantly buy nanopad
And to get ontopic: would be awesome if you would enable thirdparty users(or us the users) be able to develope our own fx/engines whatever. Only problem it could intervene the stability/performance of the kronos but otherwise it would be pretty nice to have that ability to load thirdparty software(or should we say addons or apps) to the kronos _________________ - Download & share Korg keyboard patches for free.

I fully understand that you have to make products which sell. What I don't understand is why 76 key semi-weighted keyboards don't sell well. And I can hardly understand how a piano trained musician who wants/needs a piano action type kb can feel comfortable on 73 keys (I can't).
My preferred setup is an 88 key piano action type keyboard combined with a 76 key synth action keyboard. I'm considering buying a Kronos 88 RH3, it will become my master kb and it will complement my 76 key EX5 very well (as far as the keyboards and as far as the synths are concerned)...
If I wasn't in the need of a new 88 master kb, of course I would not be interested in a 88 kb Kronos, and I would neither be interested in a 61 kb but rather in a rackmount version.
Btw, do Korg plan to release a rackmount Kronos? I mean a full fledged expander, which would have real time controls and which could be edited entirely from its panel like a Triton Rack? If you consider a Kronos module that could fit on an M3 kb, please make it 'rackmountable' as well...
___
If you allow me a stupid question, why doesn't the Kronos have a silver case like the Trinity and the Triton? I feel that a high end Korg workstation should have the classicity and intemporality of a Trinity, shouldn't it? |
