hi i owned korg kronos 61 key gear a week back. i loved when i owned triton keyboard because i liked the keys and its sense very much. but i dissapointed when i bought kronos, because the key touch n sense a bit hard to play string runs, this keyboard resembles axiom m audio 61.... so why don't korg people concentrate on keys like previous triton, o1w,T3 ????? a player should get the interest to play the KEysssss

Possibly you would need a 73 or 88 keyboard than (although that's even more for piano action keys).

I think it is a matter of subjectivity.

I like the keybed of Kronos 61 better. Also was satisfied with the Extreme, bit less with M50 (but that has a budget keyboard/price).

I only checked a Motif in a store, and did not notice any improvement over the Kronos keyboardwise.

yep korg extreme key touch is better one than kronos 61. my suggetion is plz concentrate on keys there is no action in keys like before..... iam a hardcore fan to korg products especially fan of keys and its action, invested more than 3000$ for this keyboard but there is no satisfaction for me, hope u understand me

Yes I understand, but I just don't share the opinion. Actually I'm using a Kronos and Extreme at the same time (moving hands from one to another whenever needed) and I don't have any trouble at all with the Kronos keyboard (nor with the Extreme btw).

I like the aftertouch of the Kronos a lot better though.

I'm sorry, but there seems to be a pattern in this and other forums:

First time posters who (in broken english):

1. Insure that they're fans of earlier product cycles, then

2. Complain about current products, and then

3. Invariably compare in a negative way with other brands.

I don't buy it.

That reminds me of an idea a 'friend' of mine had.

He wanted to have some group of people he could hire. And a company could hire his 'service' group to add lots of messages on public fora, to change the opinion about a product or whatever.

I don't like that idea, because let's say company X does not like company Y (like a competitor). By writing falsified or misleading information about company Y others might think company Y does not make good products because of bad reviews. On the other hand, the other way also is wrong: writing good reviews which are not based upon real experiences.

Hi
I have a Triton Extreme 76, the Roland V-synth 61, and Kronos 61. The latter have definitely the best keyboard. Exclamation

I miss the version of the 76 semi-weighted natural touch in Korons.
