Has anyone had a problem using Kronos with Mainstage? When I tried using Kronos as a soundcard with Mainstage and both being set to 48k I experienced sound that was delayed and repitched. Also when I tried using Kronos with NI B4 (redundant perhaps) I get no sound in Cubase & Mainstage and a high pitched squeal in standalone although all my other vsts work fine in Cubase with Kronos as the soundcard.

Hi. That shure seems like a sample rate problem, you say that you have them both set to 48k so i may be wrong.
I have worked in the past with Mainstage but not using a keyboard as audio interface, i'm not much help in this matter.
IMHO you should use organ sounds of your Kronos, i have worked with Native Instruments Organ Vst, i find the kronos much warmer and full, although some sounds need tweaking but this may be a question of personal taste.

Regards,

Ricardo.

Can someone confirm if it's possible to use the Kronos as audio interface like this:

Output 1+2 - The Kronos output
Output 3-4 - Output from mainstage (vsts, backtracks e.t.c)
Output 5-6 - Output from mainstage (clicktrack or click)

An alternative might be this:

Output 1+2 - The kronos output AND output from Mainstage (vsts, backtracks e.t.c)
Output 3+4 - click or clicktrack

Is this possible?

No, you only get a stereo in and stereo out from USB.
You can route that where you like though, so you could easily have:
1 & 2 - Kronos
3 & 4 - Mainstage

How you would get your click though I do not know. Perhaps you can route it over MIDI and trigger an instrument for the click on the Kronos, routing the output of that timbre to an alternate out.

Hi Ed
Just seeing this now. You say you,ve not had a problem using Kronos as the audio interface with Mainstage? I use MS all the time also but with a different interface (Presonus). I can't figure out either if there is some setting I'm missing or what it might be. Thanks

Logic works fine but as soon as i connect to play soft synths with MainStage all goes out of tune must be a sample rate issue but i cannot see any way to sort it???

So here we go again when connecting kronos to mainstage the pitch of the instruments is altered it doesnt happen with logic only with mainstage what is going on??? The sample rate is set at 48khz but you cannot alter that in mainstage prefs. it is obviously a bug in mainstage as logic 9 works fine playing the instruments in pitch. annoying problem can anyone help?

[keyboardnut]

the pitch is out from normail ie slightly sharp and it is on all software instruments.

Has fixed the out of tune problem
