After getting Keyscape, I can't stand any of the Korg pianos. I didn't buy the Italian grand, so I only auditioned the free version and maybe I didn't give it enough of a fair shake through the volume fade outs, but in my opinion, it doesn't hold up to Keyscape. I'm sure this is completely ...

The VAST engine is also a pretty big selling point for the Kurzweil. It's a mature, incredibly capable system. I have owned K2600s, PC2s, PC3s, and a couple other Kurzweil pieces. My education is in computer science/electronics, my day job is in IT, and much of my personal life deals with ...

Seems like we are aren’t satisfied with Korg, Roland, Yamaha, Kurz... I feel like the missing secret sauce is the lack of user-friendliness for normal tasks that pretty much all of these workstations have - assembling a combi of stock sounds ranges from pretty difficult to extremely difficult for t ...

this is an excellent ' inside baseball ' view of a keyboard or MI company. I always thought it was difficult but it sounds like herding cats. From my experience in tech as a Project Mgr, it was best to have a hard headed person in charge of news product development to cut down on all the wandering ...

Hi thanks for the question as the info and specs are all over the internet. Please Google. I really am not here to disparage it's just fact. The cpu is Intel and uses a pc motherboard. Much like a very old discontinued technology "Netbook". Designed as a portable internet device. The cpu is a Intel ...

Synching drum track start/stop to internal tempo

I frequently use the drum track function as a metronome. This usually works great, but I've noticed that the tempo light doesn't sync to the drum track. Most of the time that doesn't seem to harm anything, but I have some sounds that use LFOs for pulsing that seem to follow the tempo light instead ...

I have two Kronoses. It's more important for me to have the soundware be the same on both boards so I truly have a backup, and so I can do programming on the Kronos that usually stays in my studio and then copy it to the other Kronos that goes on the road. I've done the multiple brand thing and that ...

I run a sound company and use P1s to augment my wireless in-ears. For what they are, they're fine. The weak part is the battery door and connector. I never use the battery - I always use the AC adapter and I tape the adapter cord to the XLR cables and it doesn't go anywhere. Other than that, it does ...

If you sold your Kronos, why are you so mad? I had a Motif and thanks God I sold it. But Yamaha now is offering the new revolutionary Yamaha Montage. In another post you said about latency in Kronos. Man, if you get a Motif you will see what really latency is. Motif, at least the XS, had an ...

Just for fun I looked up the specs of the Nord Piano 3. It has 40 stereo voices or 60 mono voices for the piano section, and a whopping 15 voices for the synth section. The Kronos 2 has 100 dual-stereo voices, equivalent to 400 mono voices for the SGX-2 piano engine, 140 voices for the HD-1 sample ...

If Korg is King? Why do so many Real professionals play Nord Roland and Yamaha? Professional artists have all the money in the world and they dont own a Kronos. I think Korg has a way to go before they get it right. The Kronos pianos sound good but the sensitivity is all wrong and the pianos cut ...

Guys, The Kronos has more polyphony capability than almost any keyboard on the planet. That said, the keyboard is flexible enough that you can burn it all up in just a note or two if you load too much up. Every layer that simultaneously sounds eats up multiple notes of polyphony, depending on what's ...
