netunof wrote Is it possible to make the sounds more realistic? Like tweaking here and there? It's aways possible to tweak sounds (with a synthesizer, that is). But whether it's possible to make them sound more realistic is a whole other story. Many tried, many failed and it's a phenomena which is ...

I wish this would be true, because then I could have just kept my Triton which left many of the Kronos (interior) features to be desired. If anything, it's an extension, but a serious one ...

Hey Marc, its fun to post . I think you are more creative than I am- very good story line. Or, umm, more reality
Oh no, you just gave me a very good starting point for being creative. And, you know, it's easier to be creative when your mood is lightened up by some funny a** sh*t. HAHA

I remember that too and I think it was Jack Hotop who hinted at some good stuff to come. That's one of the reasons why I'm still in a positive mood concerning Kronos.

You guys are one bitter lot. And I dare you to show me where Korg ever promised to keep Kronos updated. If you are all so dissatisfied, you should seriously consider switching boards. Montage is a great alternative, I heard. You get almost half of Kronos capabilities for almost the exact same price ...
