And by the way, to the person that said most songs posted here were two-and-three-chord vamps as opposed to Jordan Rudess' note-wanks, please note that it is those two-and-three-chord vamps that bring home the bacon, so to speak, the cash, the dough... I doubt Paul McCartney sits home at nights ...

I have a Kronos 88, ten years old this year, and still going like a banger. I just bought a new 61, possibly one of the last around, and it's already got a fault. An utter shame. Korg are forcing stores not to take the Kronos, it seems, because - YAY! - the Nautilus is out with an updated UI but a ...

Thank you both for your replies. Unfortunately, since I cannot upgrade the firmware - and besides, it wouldn't matter if I could or not - I cannot avoid the inescapable conclusion that this is going to have to go back to Korg to be resolved. I'm sure under your careful guidance Antony I could have ...

Hi Anthony: Thank you so much for your generous reply. I decided to upgrade the firmware. This is going to be a bit weird to explain; I hope it makes sense. I downloaded the latest version of the firmware, which is 1.10, and made sure I had the latest version of the KORG MIDI USB-MIDI driver. It's 1 ...

Thank you my friend, very nice of you. I'm simply amazed, astounded, gobsmacked even, at the news that the Nautilus is the official replacement for the Kronos. If something ain't broke, why fix it? The screen is a KROME screen, for goodness' sake! I shall write to Korg about it, because I love to ...

PS - By the way, as a side issue, it seems that Kronoses (Kroni?) are very difficult to get hold of, particularly here in the UK. Professional Music Technology were the only UK-based store that had one in stock, nobody else had one. Is this, do we think, due to the presence of the Nautilus, which I ...

Crash problem with my brand new Korg Kronos 2

Hello: I bought a brand new Korg Kronos 2 from Professional Music Technology and I have had it now for two days. I also have an original Kronos 88. That instrument I bought in 2012 and is still going strong - works perfectly, except the USB MIDI appears to have died. I heard that that could be an ...

Narioso:

Many thanks for your kind reply. I appreciate it. I had a feeling I was going to have to send my beloved Bessie back to the synth hospital (shhh! I have to whisper it around her - she gets upset - you know how it is). Oh well, here goes... x

The Korg NAUTILUS is a colossal, incredible, amazing, stupendous, complete and total waste of money. Supposed to be a 'budget' KRONOS, is it? It seems that not only have they copied and pasted their screen size from the KRONOS, but also their prices. Check these out: KRONOS: https://www.google.com ...

Battery Low Warning: Do I Need a Grown-Up?

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen: My KRONOS is about 8 years old. It was bought in September 2012, as well, which is a coincidence. In the last few days, it has begun to fail to boot up on first switch on. It gets to a certain point, comes up with a "SYSTEM FAILURE" message, and it's goodnight Vienna. I ...
