Korg Forums

Well there’s always https://vst-store.com/products-norctrack-studio/kontakt-instruments/korg-kronos-kontakt-instrument-details.html If all else fails you can sample your Kronos yourself and bring it into Kontakt or similar. Of course if you use Karma none of this will work but I recall Stephen Kay s ...

Try turning off Kronos sysex transmission. It used to do some strange things to my HydraSynth

Much in agreement with fomalhaut as that’s the way I work, albeit with Cubase rather than ProTools. One gotcha to watch out for is that the Kronos USB output will go through the Master FX, which can be interesting if you have delay or reverb effects there, as they can muddy the mix or “fight” each ot ...

KK wrote: Cooool ! So that is the Kronos I could not recognize that ABBA was using during their latest worldwide tour. I'll definitely order the EXs999 (Agnetha holograms).

I wish this forum had a like button Agnetha holograms… and Frida for that matter…

Just got my Kronos UnObtainium Special Black Edition running Windows NeverCrashes Pro 128 bit with 1025 SuperByte RAM and the GreenScreen upgrade - the BSOD now has any background you want. Lovely colour - which you can change at the push of a button. Boots in 1 nanosecond. The inbuilt ...

The CME WIDI devices are good enough for basic MIDI playing, but trying to use the Korg Editor software or some other sysex-heavy tool is just not possible. I must admit I never use the editor sw - my issue with sysex is that Kronos will transmit its setup over sysex every time a prog/combi/seq is ...

I use CME WIDI devices and they work well, but I would suggest you turn off the Kronos sysex transmission - it can bring wireless midi to its knees.

A “cube with a big screen” - isn’t that a laptop? which is what I now use live. 😀 With the multitude of VST’s now available and many ways of running them I don’t see the point now in carting heavy, and possibly unreliable, keyboards to gigs. My back thanks me. My K still has pride of place in my home ...

Have look at this - should answer most of your question…

Looks like we both came to the same conclusion over Kronos reliability although I turned to Steinberg VST Live - I find it easier to use than MainStage. You’re right to worry about Kronos SysEx floods - my HydraSynth does not like Kronos SysEx at all, sometimes I had random program and controller c ...

Also have a look at the CME U6MIDI Pro. That can do filtering, routing and translation.
… unless that’s the one you already found…

If you turn off SysEx it’ll be a whole lot quieter - Global, MIDI, Enable Exclusive

A UPS will save you from power issues, the boot time after a short outage, and your SSD if you’re saving when the power goes out. It’ll also smooth out voltage fluctuations to your K if it provides that function. It won’t fix badly seated RAM, leads etc - much as filling up the petrol tank won’t fix ...

Hm… a lot of different viewpoints - all valid. My twopenneth (or two cents)…. The industry is moving towards computer centric music in all environments. It’s so easy now to buy, or even get for free, vsts that will “do the job”. I’m moving to a laptop and vsts because it’s safer to use a “dumb” keybo ...

You could unload the ones you are pretty sure you don’t want. If you later call on a program that needs samples it’ll display a message telling you which ones are missing so you can add them back in if you wish.
