I will use my time now to explore the Kronos and get into it's programming fast, and make some music. So I won't post here for a while. I guess it might be more fun posting in this board later on, when more posters own and play a Kronos, and are ready to exchange some substantial stuff about THAT here.

Of course anybody is free to use a forum like this for all kinds of smalltalk and chatter, including silly amounts of superficial JP-80 discussions and whatnot. Laughing

But Akos reminded me that I have a choice too, like not to spend my time like that, and rather concentrate on essentials. Thanks for some nice help from some, making my learning curve a little less steep, and I wish all of you a lot of fun with the Kronos, now or later!

Lots of luck,

I gave up on the RolandClan, when all the discussion about the Fantom G turned into compliants or whines. Interestingly enough I returned in the last few days, they are now getting bombarded by jewelry sales (?).

The postings here concerning the JP80, PC3 or Motif XF are generally very fair and subjective and show these instruments in a good light. I really enjoy this.

Korgforums gets an excellent, A+ rating in my book.

Maybe the reason there doesn't seem to be a lot of content concerning the Kronos operations is because Korg has done a good job, Great Operating System, Easy to understand User interface, and the best manual set in the business.

The biggest problem with the Kronos has been the lack of it.

So there again, good luck, but don't expect much more when you come back.

I would love to read about peoples development of workflows on the Kronos. I am slowly developing mine.

Oh, and don't tell Roland but I think the JP80 discussions here have sold more JP80's than their own site/videos or even RolandClan. (I can say this forum has put the JP80 on my short list, just need the funds.)

Yeah one would think there are a ton of people here with the Jupiter but last I saw there were only 2.

I would LOVE to be able to afford a Kronos, Jupiter-80 and Motif XF, but I have to pick my addictions as I can afford them. And unless I can sell off a few things, it's going to be a while before I can afford my Kronos.

Have fun, Jim, and let us know how your desert island experience is going! I hope to be joining with my own adventures in a month or so. Very Happy

Jim, make some good music and come back and show it off!

Also, I hope you will be able to enjoy the irony that this thread will probably become another JP80 discussion. The Jupiter will follow you around wherever you go until you get one, don't fight it anymore!!! Razz

Jim, enjoy the Kronos!

Yes, I changed my mind to a certain degree: you are completely correct in noticing this. Laughing

The one thing that disturbed me most and became the final cause for retiring from here were the constant JP-80 offtopics, as you know very well from other threads. And the final one provoked my reaction after retiring, yes.

After these threads have moved to the proper places I can live much better with the normal level of casual asides in here. I will still concentrate on making music and work my way into the Kronos, just as I said, and post here much less than I did before, for a while.

I hope that is a small consolation for you, even if you now don't get rid of me completely. Wink

Having clarified my point of view, I won't answer further ad personams concerning this. Back to the Kronos.

Do you own or plan to buy one?
I'm looking forward to see your valuable on topic contributions!

Thank you very much for the Karma tip! The learning curve for the rest was and still is so steep for me, that I need more time to get to Karma finally. But I'm certainly willing to do so.

Yes, the EPs are gorgeous, and I have spent and will spend time programming some useful variations. Will put them online casually.

Got to admit - I'm in the same boat. I've become a bit more of a lurker (when I've got time to surf, that is).
