am owner of a Korg Kronos that I bought 2 years ago.

I only use the basic sound of piano and occasionally the drum tracks that are included in the Kronos. The problem with the drum tracks is that I only play latin music, and rythms like Salsa, Merengue, Regue, Bachata, Cumbia, Vallenato, Boleros, flamenco, joropos are not included in the list. How can I buy and insert all latin rythms in my Korg Kronos. Can you give me detailed instructions, because I am not very good with computers and the Korg Kronos is very intimidating instrument for me, I barely understand only a couple functions in my Korg Kronos. Can somebody guide me through the process of instalation of additional drum tracks ?


Second question: I am an amateur musician without no experience with electric pianos. 2 years ago I bought my Korg Kronos in the Guitar Center, Sarasota. I am very happy with the sound, but honestly this instrument is overwhelming for me, extremely complicated, I only understand the funciton of basic piano sound and drum tracks. I tried to read the instructions and I got very overwhelmed with the system. I need somebody to instruct me how to use this Kronos, beatufiul but honestly very complicated for people like me without the time and the background knowdledge to learn this instrument. Do you know anybody in the area of Sarasota (Florida) that can give me some clases of how to use the Kronos, or maybe somebody in the USA that can teach me via Skype or guided by telephone.

Third question: in the section of the drum track, under the Drum track parameters, how do I use the Detune option.



Thanks a lot

I got this app for Latin beats. The maker makes a number of apps that focus on particular styles. Virtual drum machines

Sequencer RPPR-mode lets you convert recorded midi patterns into drum tracks. Follow Parameter guide details about that.

Also for audio loop beats, sampler can work them and covert to program with loop feature enabled.

Sequencer lets you record midi patterns and edit them. Layer patterns, slice them up and patch various parts together in new ways or remove notes and add new notes. Once done, “convert to drum track” feature is there to turn it into a user slot drum track.

I hope you went through Karma patterns for drums. There are varieties of drum patterns there that you won’t find in drum track.

Shame on the salesman that sold you WAY more synth than you need. You could have spent about 1/4 the money and got something much easier to use, and which meets your needs better.

I think if you watch these instruction videos daily while at kronos, you will be able to begin making sense of the instruction book called Prameter Guide.
Korg made these videos to help begginers.

If reading the instruction is difficult, then reading forum answers for instruction will also be difficult. Start with the youtube videos while kronos is on in front of you. You can pause video and rewind to slow the leson pace if needed.

After learning these videos, you should be able to come to the forum here with more specific questions that are not so difficult to answer or so difficult for you to understand.
