oh... er... ...ahem...
ok, ok, I know it, wait, wait, I know it...
the answer is: two square meters, correct?
I was always good at Rhythmetics |
Don't be silly Ozy, the answer is quite clearly 42! |

Here's another one from the same Tuber showing the Kronos booting up...which takes 2:10 seconds:

I watched it to the very end. Epic.
Still faster than my M3 |

Well, they could remove half the engines to make it load twice as fast!! |

This is where things get interesting:
In Combi and SEQ Modes, it looks really small. Both the fonts and icons looked a lot smaller. Luckily I have good vision so I didn't have any issues (besides the fact that I have to get used to that, given how freakin' HUGE the OASYS screen is). But for other people, I totally see why some have been complaining about it. They are right to an extent. It IS small and it will be hard for some people to see it. But that's only in Combi and SEQ Mode.Sina |
Phew!! Thats good to know...So glad only the Seq and Combi mode is hard to see. I was worried the Program fonts would be affected also.. |

Personally I thought the ending was a bit premature and walked away feeling completely unsatisfied. So I fired up my M3....Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Yep: they shouldn't have cast Schwarzenegger as the Young Lover, and some of the dialogues between Godzilla and Justin Bieber where a bit verbose |

Oh...it was nauseating! But I heard they have the same vocal coach, so that may explain it. _________________ Current Korg Lineup: Kronos 61, Oasys 76 · M3-61/RADIAS · Trinity Plus/HDR · 01/WFD · 01R/W · X3R · M3R · Wavestation EX · Wavestation SR · Triton Rack/MOSS · Z1EX · TR-Rack · Karma · D3200 · iM1 · iWavestation · iMono/Poly

I wonder how much of that is the OS booting and how much is the loading of the attack portions of 12GB of samples. If you don't load all the samples does the boot time get reduced? _________________ Korg Kronos 61, DSS-1, EX-8000

It already is impossible to beat, but the Sequencer
needs attention and once it does, it'll be insane.

Yes, it would be.

There's one last thing I should mention as well:
In Global Mode, there's a KSC Autoload feature now.
So those of you that have been wanting to load in your own samples and stream them off the SSD, KRONOS can do that!
You don't need more RAM, guys. The SSD is there for a reason and you can import your own samples and have KRONOS automatically load them every time you turn it on.
Sina |
AFAWK For using your samples, you´ll need RAM to load the samples in, right?
They are NOT streamed, but loaded in RAM.
That´s what the KSC Autoload feature does: Load the samples (in RAM) every time you power the keyb on. _________________ Regards.

I think KRONOS is gonna be a similar situation. You can't stream user samples from the SSD as it stands right now. But I can pretty much guarantee that user sample streaming form the SSD is gonna happen in the next couple updates, if not the next update. |
1. He didn't say it wasn't possible. He said there wasn't an easy access door so it'd take removing a bunch of screws. Big deal. You flip it upside down, remove the bottom, there's your access. They didn't seal it shut and you won't have to remove the top to get in. I've never come across a Korg synth yet that wasn't easy to service... In fact, I'll open my Kronos up AS SOON AS I UNBOX IT and take pictures of the insides so we can debate this stuff intelligently.
2. Don't hold your breath for streaming user samples. While it's possible, Korg isn't notorious for adding that kind of stuff. We begged since the beginning for auto-loading of user samples at bootup on the M3 and that request went ignored (like many others including bug fixes). If it's not there now, don't expect it to be there later. _________________ 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). |

I agree with McHale, though I've just about ruled out RAM expansion. No expansion bays (Kronos is much more of a "Production" instrument than the OASYS was IMO) which are usually there even if the MI co even THINKS there MIGHT be an expansion. No hints to it in the manual either.
The User Streaming depends on Korg's stance on the matter. They can market libraries exclusively with the technology and have an upper hand vs. people rolling their own. Add limited sample space and it's a compelling argument to buy Korg's libraries. If the User streaming IS on the table (Which would be EPICALLY AWESOME BTW), it's going to come down to one thing I think: How easy it is to muck it up. If it's all automatic and requires no real user intervention, I think there's a good chance we could get it. If it requires the user to have a CLUE, forget it! Won't be worth the PR risk. It only takes a FEW idiots to fill up the internet with complaints overnight while tenfold more happy customers are obliviously PLAYING their Kronos instead while not feeling the NEED to post about how great it is. Therefore skewing the perceived quality of the upgrade and causing problems. _________________ Korg: KRONOS 73, M50-61, 01W/r
