So I finally heard a Kronos at my local music store.

Maybe I didn't understand STS correctly, but I was suprised that if I played a sound, held the sustain pedal, and then switched sounds--the sound didn't always sustain. The wierd thing is that sometimes it DID sustain.

Is this by design? If so, what is it that causes it to sustain or not sustain?

I got this behaviour going from (for example)
I B 19 Standard E Piano to I B 30 Tiny Tine Piano

Not sure if it matters, but I was in the view where you view all the sounds (browser mode?)

It is not the end of the world, but I'd like to understand why this happens

How did you move from one sound to the other? Did you just press the button on the touch screen? I did notice that if I used the data wheel to switch between sounds sometimes when I'd try to move by one, I'd actually move by two, which would effectively cancel out the sustain from the 1st sound - since I believe you can play sound A, then hold A while switching to B, but if you then switch to C if A was still sounding, then A would stop.

i was pressing the screen to move from sound to sound. sometimes the sustain would stay, sometimes it would not.

I don't have a Kronos yet to try it, but the sounds may be cutting out due to a short Hold Time setting. Each slot in a Set List has an associated setting called Hold Time where you can tell it how long it takes a sound to fade out if you've switched sounds. The hold time starts when you release the keys. So if you're only sustaining by using the pedal and if there's a short hold time, it might sound like it's cutting off.

the fantom only has patch remain in live mode and not in single mode..which is quite rational.. to conver to Korg speak this would say STS may only work in combi mode not prog mode.

It has already been stated a number of times that it should work in any mode. as for the reason its not working 100% for you, I don't know...

StephenKay that sounds hard to find, was it?

yes Bill you are right..i should have said "not really works"..

technically does it work? yes.. effectively and usefully? no. as you cannot scroll and select a second patch in single mode without the original breaking up as you scroll.. this is NBD as live/studio are the main operating modes.


@rkfan

sorry for trying to help, but there is no need to fault sound logic...nor snipe.

prog/single mode is rarely used in any type of real performance situation as there are specific modes for that regardless of the synth manufacturer... and therefore live switching/STS is not necessary in those "single patch/program/voice" modes ...the fact that STS operates in prog mode on the kronos is a bonus, not a requirement IMO...

[mymusic42]

Thanks for looking into this and resolving it.
