Hi guys!

I received my Kronos 61 today and the first question I have is, as I have soiled my pants several times, can any of you can send me some toilet paper?

WOW!!! It's everything I thought it would be and more!

I'm sure I'll have some more questions later as I familiarize myself with getting around the Menus, but I have a simple one to ask now.

As I alluded to earlier, I wish that Korg would have made the Kronos available as a 73 with the same action that my 61 has, but I can live with it not being available.

If I set up a Combi split with a EP on the first (3) octaves and a Organ on the last (2) octaves, could I add some type usb controller (a two octave keyboard would be fine) to play the Synth Bass sounds in the Kronos?

I'm kind of brain dead now, but I think I know how to trigger the Synth Bass MIDI/usb wise (and not play Bass from the Kronos keyboard), but how do I assign the zone it plays without affect the existing zones for the EP and Organ?

any class compliant device should work. http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=72768

this thread goes into it, but really if you had say an 88 or a 73 controller these would also work happily with the kronos.

In a pinch, you could also play the Bass with the onscreen pads. Assign the Bass and Pads to the same MIDI channel.

You can set keyboard zones for each timbre individually. Since you're triggering the bass from a different keyboard on a different midi channel, you won't have to set the zone at all. It can be full range.
