Korg Forums

@Sharp - I'm very glad you were able to get this site up again. I noticed my bookmarks no longer work, but by navigating from www.korgforums.com into the forums, I see the URL has changed from phpBB2 to phpBB3. I imagine it was a major undertaking to upgrade. Thank you for keeping this valuable ...

@afr, did you solve your problem? Is it just in Cubase? Did you try a simple MIDI program like MIDI-OX to see if the Kronos USB MIDI port is available? The document says "under examination" for Windows 11 23H2, which means there may be problems. I'm sticking with Windows 10 for as long as possible ...

If you read all the threads like this over the past few years, and factor in the total silence from Korg, there is only one conclusion. Korg has decided they are no longer interested in offering a "flagship" workstation. It's like Toyota saying "we are not going to pursue our Lexus brand any more ...

You can see I'm not afraid to dig into a Kronos. :wink: Why you no share video link?, says private and only cool people may view it. I did not know that - they are not supposed to be private. Apparently Youtube is broken, or I don't know how to use it. I try to change to public, but videos remain ...

@pete.m, I was very interested in the potential to increase polyphony when these blogs first came out. You can see I'm not afraid to dig into a Kronos. :wink: I imaged my Kronos SSD drive to give me one to experiment with. I started following the preparatory steps, and before I got too far, my ...

That seems to have worked - so far so good.

The "Korg Driver Setup Utility 1.15.38.02 has started popping up over and over. It has "KORG KRONOS" listed as a connected device. It has a button to "Install". I click it , accept UAC elevation, and immediately, get a dialog with "The Device Driver has been installed properly". Then the Driver ...

I'd recommend reading the chapter on Sampling in the Kronos Op Guide. In summary, you want to save your RAM samples to User Banks. If you have a single set of samples that you always use, save all your sample data as a KSC. (Disk Mode / Save / Save Sampling Data) This will create files "mysamples ...

@Xenophile and @AnthonyB - that was it exactly! I searched through the forum on this topic, but must have missed Anthony's post. Move the existing drive to the other SATA port before connecting the new drive, and it boots. Definitely unexpected for a motherboard made in the last 20 years. Legacy ...

I'm upgrading a K1 73 untouched since purchase in 2012. I added the 2nd 2G RAM module, and added a second drive. To add the 2nd drive, I used the SATA connector on the motherboard next to the main drive's SATA connector with a new SATA cable. I used the SATA drive power connector that was in the ...

Thanks! I don't know how I missed that. I'll check it out.

"Shimmer Reverb" is a popular effect that provides a unique sound, especially for ambient and pad types of programs. I think it was developed in the last 10 years, so there is nothing on the Kronos that directly provides it. I recently purchased Arturia Pigments, and its built-in Shimmer Reverb is ...

It looks like this thread died out in 2022, but hpoche just brought the post by average_male back to the top - Thanks! I've been looking for a way to get a remote screen also for years. I've considered the full hardware approach described above. As noted there are chips that can take the LCD's RGB ...

VST versions already exist here and here

Hi, Maybe Korg doesn't want to offer a high-end workstation that does everything a musician wants and keeps them satisfied for over 10 years? Maybe they'd rather develop a bunch of more limited products in the hopes we'll buy all of them? Here's the strategy in a meme: https://www.synthify.com ...
