Coming from the Trinity and Triton, the Kronos was the next logical step in the evolution of workstations for me. I thought the Oasys was simply too expensive and the M3 was not enough improvement over the Triton to warrant the time it would take transfer 200+ sequences. That said, after having the Kronos for a while, I have decided to keep the Triton (a loaded Studio 88) as it has some sounds which are more usable (guitars, strings and brass) than the comparable Kronos sounds. This may change as I am just about to upgrade to 3G and load some of the samples that won't fit right now.

For me, the real strength of the Kronos are the various pure synth engines (MS-20EX, PolysixEX, AL-1 and MOD-7); not that the SGX-1, EP-1 and CX-3 engines aren't good and the HD-1 sonically superior to the Triton, but those 4 synth engines are so good that I been able to incorporate them into many old sequences with substantial improvements over previous Triton sample based sounds. Many of my newer sequences are being built around synth sounds; something that in the past I shied away from because I was working with samples of synths.

I don't believe STR-1 has been fully figured out and utilized yet; but on paper it has much to work with.

I love my Kronos to.
It's simply awesome.
Had mine 7 months and I'm still only scratching the surface.

Going to be a long seductive, squelchy love affair. (mines a female btw). I checked the slots at the back.
