hey Dan,

has anyone at Korg considered connecting the Kronos to a mac and doing some troubleshooting?

Hey vortexian, I like people who do not realize that they are embarrassing ...

and you should stop, spamming a thread which just turns in a good and helpful direction. If you have a personal problem with me, send me a pm,
but do not bore the others here...

look at your first post back to me, and now your accusing me of wanting to provoke?, both you and rockstar both thought my post was hilarious, well now i'm laughing, I advised rockstar to use the optical outputs because in my experience the USB for audio is 'does not work' period especially when trying to simultaneously use as a midi interface (god knows why, its only chucking a stereo signal across USB, I can buy a full duplex souncard for 20 quid that will work seamlessly)
You'll note rockstar advised me to get a mac with a 'faster processor' pah hah hah, anyway, bogus technical solutions/ futile stabs in the dark aside..
liderally hours later his super fast Mac/Kronos combination was falling over....im glad, he sounds like a glib twat
its ok, keep laughing, I'm only interested in Dans response to this thread because it will be official, I mean all Korg have to do is connect a Mac running Logic to the Kronos and the problem will be there immediately (makes you wonder why that wasn't carried out during the R+D process right?) And as an end user, I don't want to be the beta tester, when I layed out £3.2K on this machine I was kind of under the impression it would integrate with current known DAWS, ie Protools, Logic etc, I think thats a fair expectation, otherwise I'd just go and buy a workstation for like 1000 bucks and not worry about the seamless integration thing because i'm not paying for it.

Dan,

thats a pretty lame official response from a technical representative (I'm not suprised tho, it sounds like the kind of bullshit Korg UK are talking), I can only assume your blaming the Logic application as opposed to the Mac platform?, just for the record, I worked for a Korg dealer for 12 years as keyboards and Hi-tech manager and buyer, Korg made some great products and I sent lots of it out of the door, technical support was always first class, what happened? You've just proved the concept of the music workstation is dead, your not prepared to listen to your customer base and happy to hide from the clear problems the end users are suffering from. If your not prepared to help troubleshoot these problems I suggest your in the wrong business. Disgraceful.

Mac i7, Logic 9, Kronos USB audio/MIDI - Had this setup for a while now with no problems whatsoever.

Check your setup, Particularly the USB cable as I had major problems with a Belkin cable with my old setup, make sure it's a decent quality one.

And please remember that this is NOT an official Korg tech support forum.

Hi all,
just for information.
I tried to use USB to pass Midi (both ways) and Audio (from Kronos to Computer) under WinXP and Cubase SX 3 but using Asio4All (last release) (128 samples) (around 8ms of latency).
I know that there is nothing to do with MAC or Logic but just the Windows guys to know.



Regards.

Please see the forum rules in the very first post at the top of the Kronos section.

been reading through this thread a little and my question is, is hooking the Kronos USB to PC at the same time as the spdif/analog outs to your PC safe?

ie,

I want to hook the usb to PC to record midi, but the audio recorded portion of the kronos I want it to come from the analog outs or spdif out directly to the PC's DAW. My soundcard has analog in and optical spdif. What do you set in the global section if you want to disable audio over USB?

Just want to get a headstart cuz i wont have my kronos for a couple weeks or more, getting one with my refund.

Well, if it's anything like hooking up an external keyboard to both USB and MIDI simultaneously, the system gets to choose one of them and the other one doesn't work any more. Dunno if that's the way it's supposed to be but that's how it works here.
