Korg Forums

For me I'm using my Fantom 6 instead of my Kronos most of the time. That's largely because for my live performance situation the control surface, the ability to play backing tracks and a couple other things meets the needs better. I really like the sliders with indicators and the rotary encoders ...

I made a quick video comparing the startup times for 2 Roland Workstations and 2 Korg Workstations.

Love my Kronos... don't love the startup time:

Clearly not a flagship (from the minimal controllers depicted), but could be interesting... especially if this portends a "Kronos III"...

I'm lucky enough to have a Fantom and a Kronos. The Fantom has an easier workflow for most things (not all). It's easier to jump in and get going. But my favorite aspect is the control surface. I really like the edit knobs and the light indicators on the sliders and rotary encoders. They are not ...

My pet theory is that the Nautilus will be the Kronos successor. It will have most of the Kronos capabilities and they are developing chunks of improved technology that will distinguish the Nautilus from the Kronos. It will have Wavestate-level wave sequencing, for example. And Dan said that they ...

I believe these are prototypes, not necessarily planned releases in the future.

Actually, my personal preference would be to have it all in the keyboard for performance. One less thing to hook up. Even if that meant paying $3500 for a 61-key. Think "Greatest Hits from the OASYS and the Kronos Rolled into One".

I have both an original Kronos and a new Fantom. The Kronos is easily the more power in the sound department. And it just plain sounds better for a lot of sounds (esp. pianos). But the Fantom has a few strengths that mean I'll be using it for the church band until Korg has something better ...

So I have a Fantom 6 sitting over the Kronos now. Here's the short of it: Some of the sounds are really good, but overall I don't think the engines compare (yet?) to the Kronos. I've only played with V-Piano a little but it doesn't seem super realistic to me. Flexible, though. The controls are far ...

Great information. Nice cases. Thanks JP!

Excellent feedback, JPRobertLA!

Do you mind sharing which hard case and soft cases you got? (Any special packing in the column case?) And, if it's not too much trouble, I'd love to know the base/bass weight without the columns.

Thanks so much!

Mark

How do you like them (the iP2000s)? Can you do without monitors? How's the bass?

Thanks!
Mark

And the "Kronos Platinum"

Probably a 4-voice analog polysynth...

Thanks Derek.

Isn't the Motif Rack ES sample-based?

The Arturia Brass looks interesting, though I'm not sure if it still is available for sale.
