Regarding the 16 midi tracks..

is each track locked its representative midi channel
examples midi ch1 track1 midi ch2 track2

or can you record multiple midi channels events on any single track
example..
track 1 to playback a single midi track of midi channels 1-8
track 2 to playback channels 9-10

Regarding the audio tracks record and playback..

are audio tracks played direct from storage or are they loaded into RAM?

Thanks.. Just wondering too about something demonstrated in the promo video.. They are playing the sampled Piano and are telling us that the samples are being playing directly from the hard drive and are not held in ram. Advantage is the ability to have very large sampled instruments.. Question ...

How is kronos setup to handles multi samples
does it exist in real sense of the word or does it do things differently..

samples setup on individual keys, do they have there own parameters or are some parameters for the whole patch global like filters and envelopes etc...

I proposed along time ago that the standard 16 channels that we use could be extended to unlimited simply by tagging the manufacture I.D. example: setup1 Korg Kronos roland fantom G Yamaha motif.. lets say the kronos is the sequencer we use we record 16 midi channels of the kronos.. Now we record 16 ...

Thanks for all that Dan Midi channels there are 16.. how many tracks are there available for data sequences are there only the standard 16 tracks one for each channel or more. What about controlling external devices if they use the same midi channels are they exclusive to give a total of 32 devices ...

I seen something referring to a 80 minute max mono audio recording.. is this per track or total for the whole project? Also if recording audio what are the routing option with FXs will all audio always be recorded with all FXs or is there an option to record what is being played without the FX also ...

So in reality the lower poly engines like the STR-1 and the MS20EX have a heavier payload where as using a combination like

CX-3: 200 voices
PolysixEX: 180 voices
SGX-1: 100 voices*3

Would give you many more poly which would be an average of 160 poly between the 3 if use together

Well then your just one of those people with a little more sense not to be looking for the all in one solution as a replacement and as it should be,
an addition to what you already use.

Thanks for that... So are we saying that in a 16 midi channel recording on the kronos that poly is restricted to each engine that is in use or shared example channels 1-4 use SGX-1 engine which has a max of 100 poly.. because im using 4 SGX-1 is then this 100 poly shared between these 4 channels ...

I'm not sure on the specifics though, I've not read the bits about what you mention something about 'dual stereo' on the SGX-1. yeah its in the fine print at the bottom Maximum Polyphony*1*2: SGX-1: 100 voices*3 EP-1: 104 voices HD-1: 140 voices AL-1: 80 voices CX-3: 200 voices STR-1: 40 voices MOD ...

So are we say then that if i have a midi setup of 16 track and are using STR-1 this reduces the kronos to a 40 voice poly especially if this patch is heavily used and if i have cx3 on another channel i wont have 200 poly because str-1 is in use. so if we do the math.. between the two.. for every ...

On the Kronos What and how is polyphony allocated and what is the max.. specs say Maximum Polyphony*1*2: SGX-1: 100 voices*3 EP-1: 104 voices HD-1: 140 voices AL-1: 80 voices CX-3: 200 voices STR-1: 40 voices MOD-7: 52 voices MS-20EX: 40 voices PolysixEX: 180 voices In a 16 track environment how ...

I just may get one or at least try it out but i cant get rid of my fantoms at least not yet.. I have to much time invested in them with patches, sound sets, and alot of other complex stuff..

Anyone know how kronos handles sounds songs patches etc..

is everything just dumped in to one place or can you have different setups patch lists samples etc for individual projects etc..

what happens when you have exhausted existing RAM etc..
