Busch.

You're killing me as an XF user! Busch, you are a musical - technical giant!! The world is a better place with you in it. Kronos users -- you know it … LUCKY!!!

So I'm done. Still want to check out the 61. I figured out those things above except adjusting velocity curves. Got the hang of click & drag on the data slider. I really liked the sound/response of the modeled Rhodes, modeled B3, and a simple, mellow poly analog based on 1 saw with a 24db filter. I ...

No 61 on display. Bummed. But already experiencing night and day differences- for the positive- on a K2 88, relative to last few times I sat down for a few seconds on a previous K, poorly "speakered".

I'll be checking out the AP's, EP's as a reference, but I'm interested in the 61 for synth action work. I'll definitely browse through presets, but I like to hear simplicity, and how it rhythmically handles simplicity. I assume Kronos X manual will work. (That's what came up quickly in google search ...

Hey all. I'll be checking out a Kronos 2 (hopefully a 61) at a store starting this next hour. I am completely new to Kronos. Any suggestions on basic concepts so I can hear some fundamental sounds? I will try to do the following: 1. remove effects 2. keep automated phrase makers off 3. Adjust ...

cool. got it.

Thank you, Mike for all the info. I realize Combi mode would be where I would easily turn on & off, layer, and control volumes for simple, disparate multi-sampled Programs. That sounds like a lot of multisamples, but the caveat is that only two multisamples (mono or stereo) can cross-fade or layer ...

thank you! can't wait to find one & try.

3GB is quite a lot, but people are spoilt with multi-GB software libraries these days. Kronos is the only mainstream board that can realistically load these if you convert them. And then suddenly 3GB isn't all that much. But, with the ability to stream both 3rd party & user-created multi-samples ...

Thanks, geo.

Got it. That's pretty deep! I didn't realize 8 multi-samples could be layered in 1 oscillator. I had thought they had to be in a discrete velocity zone.

Kronos users are blessed to have burningbusch. This guy is a master.

Kronos 2 61'ers, please tell me more about how good the synth action keys are, & how quiet the fan is? Looking forward to finding one to try out.

Hello all. I don't have a Kronos & am trying to get a sense of how it handles user-created multi-samples instruments. In a Kronos single program that can have up to 8 oscillators, are there physical buttons that can turn on & off each oscillator? Can the faders control the volume of each oscillator?

Ok. So more RAM is helpful in a real large multi-sampled instrument building phase, if you are doing it all on the Kronos. I imagine one can build an instrument in a software editor, and then bring it into Kronos to bypass this limitation. So, although I'm not familiar with the Kronos, 3GB ram seems ...
