Re: weird

Everything is MIDI'd up. At the moment only the Kronos sends MIDI out. I'm not the best player in the world so generally rely on my sequencer. So physical access to all of the keyboards is not really an issue for me. Dave. your set up seems like a nightmare in terms of reach to your keyboard to play ...

Thanks Joe, I try to keep all my older gear in as mint condition as possible. I've got more vintage stuff not shown in the pics, there's a full list below.

Kronos 2-61 has landed!

Came home today to a large brown box awaiting me :) One of the first few in the UK so I'm told. I have to hand it to Korg, this thing is really amazing. I thought the Oasys was incredible, but this takes it to the next level. I've really only had a chance so far to play some of the factory patches ...

I'm in the UK and ordered a X61 in November. It was about three days before the news broke about the upcoming K2. So as you can imagine I was pretty gutted about that. However, when the X61 arrived it had a few problems, there seemed to be some loose parts inside and the keybed made an awful ...

I imagine it would be possible to boot a Linux Live distro from a USB stick and use the 'dmidecode' command to get the motherboard info? Less intrusive than opening up the case for those who prefer not to? Dave. Nope ... it's not possible without direct access to motherboard using VGA output and a ...

I too am from the UK. I have a pending order for the K2. Was told I will be first to get one (from that retailer). They currently have no idea as to when it will be in stock. I've been told that there is very little info on the dealer portal. The dealer is going to touch base with me in the first ...

I bought a Kronos X 61 which was delivered just three days before the Kronos 2 was announced, so you can imagine how gutted I was when I read about the new one. Mercifully it seems my X has a fault (rattling from keybed) so I immediately boxed it up and got the retailer to pick it up. They wanted to ...

I bought a brand new Kronos X 61 just three days ago, blissfully unaware that a new model was coming out. Thankfully, it looks like my keybed is faulty (makes an awful noise) and my retailer is happy for me to return it for refund (no quibble if faulty within 30 days of purchase) I told them NOT to ...
