a DAW is the best friend for the Korg Kronos

Post by kronoSphere »

Fervent user of the internal sequencer of Kronos, I was, for the song on which I worked, short in the number of voices authorized in the sequencer of my Kronos. So I sent in the sequencer of my DAW (sequoia) the first 5 tracks only, then follows the next five and, finally, the last 6 tracks.
I do not know if I am the only one to think it but: a DAW is the best friend of Korg Kronos
:D

I have made a lot of songs on the Kronos sequencer but I had a hard time erasing them. I guess it's just me but for some reason I just can't part with them even though the songs are finished and up on Soundcloud.

Also, for some reason I could not delete them from the hard drive to make more space for new songs.

Could use some help here I think!

I don't have a DAW, I record all my work on a Portastudio and use my Kronos as a sequencer and center of my MIDI stuff I have. I am very satisfied with my setup and I think it is very productive and fast compared to a DAW+computer which I hate to see. (I work with computers all day, and don't want to spend one more minute with them..!)

For now, I'm using a DAW only for VST extra effects that are not provided in the Kronos as space reverb, for example. I'm using Eventide Black Hole VST.
I'm using some VST instrument that I sample in the Kronos too.
But I'm still using the Kronos sequencer.

I used to think that using a computer with a DAW would be to time consuming. Getting it up and running, calling up the DAW, getting everything ready to record. I thought that would take forever. Turns out I was wrong.
Now, I turn on my Kronos, turn on my computer, load my DAW and call up a template that I made. By the time my Kronos is up and running, so is everything else. No time lost.
