Vertical lines on display - Screen broken?

I have to say, I'm really annoyed at the quality issues of my Kronos. I've had to fix multiple mechanical issues, from an incorrectly installed SATA cable, squished cables, to proper screw mounting of metal brackets. And now, I have bright yellow and white vertical lines appear on the screen. They ...

Selling Korg Kronos 61

I'm selling my near-mint condition Korg Kronos 61! This machine has been well-cared for, only used in a non-smoker no-cat home. Looks and works perfectly. Software is the latest version, you'll get a high-quality nylon fabric keyboard dust cover on top of it too. Bough July 2012, original receipt ...

The KRONOS sequencer still wins overall because of the audio tracks... my only wish is for to be able to change tracks while recording.... Oh yes the audio tracks. Did I mention the Fantom has 24 of them, and they are not only seamlessly integrated in the sequencer, but all the editing niftyness ...

I see you have a Virus too. Gotta say that the Kronos works a lot better than the Virus TI did when it came out. Took them over a year to get that thing running somewhat stable. Back when the M3 got the sequencer update I was really surprised, it was a major thing in my opinion, very much unexpected ...

Krome Sequencer vs Kronos Seriously, though, one reason--not the main one--I bought a Kronos was for a handy sequencer that is not as robust (and distracting) as one in a DAW. Limitations can be liberating :idea: While I respect your opinion, I completely disagree that the Kronos sequencer is a ...

Thanks guys. The thing is I even saw the EXI engine selection menu sometimes but never "got it" why this appeared only on some patches. The multidimensional tab madness doesn't help there either...

Awesome. I made a fool of myself, but life makes more sense now :)

Switching engine in program mode

I have an embarassing question: Usually I start out from existing sounds when creating my own, and the simple reason is: I don't know how to select a synth engine. Sounds stupid? It is! But I've read the manual and the built in help back and forth, searched the forum... I can't find it. So my ...

Krome Sequencer vs Kronos

Ok folks, let me start of that I love my Kronos. It's a bit pricy considering the build quality and there's quite a lot of UI clunkyness going on, but it's a great synth workstation. I love tinkering with sounds so the ability to play with VA synths right there is awesome, as are the natural sounds ...

Wow, there's a lot of vitriol in this thread. Since I was one of those complaining about the build quality, most of it is stuff that makes or breaks the synth out of the factory, you can avoid most problems by plugging the thing on at the shop and have it boot up. Some of the issues I raised (EMF ...

is it because that he (toumal) own a kronos 61.. 61 version is so small that maybe engineers try to put everything tightly? Nope, the spacing between the SSD and the upper part of the case is the same for all models. What they do is they use the rigidity of the cable to make it keep itself pressed ...

Hmm, that may well be the case. I only had one Kronos to take apart ;) On the other hand, most cables in mine were also tied down properly. It's just that some of them rub against sharp edges, and the area behind the SSD is small so it's not easy to fit a straight SATA connector. Do you happen to ...

I'm sorry if I came across as too ranty. I do hope they'll do this simple fix in the future and spare the new Kronos owners some headache. Maybe someone can crack open a new X model and tell us if they've fixed it already ;) As for my Kronos, I gotta say... the sounds are simply amazing, and the ...

Seriously, Kronos build quality?

Before I get into this, let me get out of the way that I'm an electronics engineer, I've seen my share of botched jobs. I have a Virus TI kb, a Fantom G6, various small bits and pieces like the Korg Kaossilator Pro (love that thing!) and I just got my Kronos - and I'm happy as a clam. Or maybe not ...

I've recently ordered a Kronos, now waiting for it to arrive. While the update is welcome news, I really wish they'd add the sequencer improvements the M3 received. You know, piano roll, visual track editing, that sorta thing. I'm currently selling my Fantom G6 but looking at the current Kronos ...

Shimmer

Shimmer (c) 2008 Toumal An eerie dance track with loads of Korg love: Radias and KP3 supplying the oomph and backbone for the performance of my Access Virus TI and Elektron Monomachine. If my previous songs are too slow and soft for you, this one's for you ;) Full MP3 download: http://www.playspoon ...
