The keyboards marked with * are still in my possession 1988 Yamaha PSR home keyboard (don't remember the exact model) - It was a christmas present ~1993 Roland E-70 - Got this one from my father ~1996 Roland E-96 - Also from my father 1998 Yamaha P200 - The first instrument I bought by myself. A ...

For me to get one sent direct from Korg with the old contacts on, especially as they opened it up to do the SSD and RAM upgrades, is simply unacceptable.

Indeed.

I just got word from my dealer. He forwarded my admittedly wrathful mail to the distributor and obviously that had some effect: I will get an exchange for a KronosX free of charge as compensation. That was just about time and rehabilitates KORG's support. However, this whole procedure of failed ...

Some clarifications: 1. I knew about the problems in advance, not for long before I bought it (I was one of the first that received it in Germany), but I knew, that's true. On the other hand I have been always told that these are rare cases and that only a low percentage of Kronos has a defect ...

@Laste7: I do not deny that the Kronos is worth it in terms of sound design possibilities and ease of operation. But I lost my confidence in KORG products, and that cannot be repaired easily. I need reliable instruments. I know that the german KORG distributor is a separate company, but these are ...

One more thing to you KORG guys: I've had more keyboards in my life than you can imagine, Yamaha, Roland, Kawai, you name it. Never had a single problem with any of these. Especially the Kawai and Yamahas are built like a tank and served me well in- and outdoors at 100 percent humidity, whatever. I ...

I have the 88 key version...

[See posts below for KORG's fair solution] As others have already pointed out, there is an issue with the Kronos' keybed. My Kronos had the same problem, so I sent it in to receive a new one. Guess what, the new one was faulty too. Ok, bad luck I thought, I called my KORG distributor (Germany) and ...

Yes, thanks PianoManChuck. I've returned 2 k88 keyboards and I've been very frustrated with the lack of communication from korg concerning the note-off problem. I sold my kurzweil pc2x so now I'm using my old triton until can get an 88 key. I tried a motif xf8 yesterday and while it did sound good ...

I hope they'll find a solution soon. Does anyone know if Korg already addressed the data wheel problem? That is if my Kronos really needs to be replaced does the new one come with an upgraded data wheel or with the same cheapo plastic s**t?

ABBA sounds (S.O.S. (!!), all the Visitors album stuff, etc.); Jump; Davy's on the road again (the Watch version, synth/organ solo!)

Did anyone else notice, that the cutoff problem vanishes in colder environment? It only happens (for me) when the temperature is over 20 degree celsius or something... (i'm not kidding)

Has someone besides me already noticed that the Kronos keybed is not mounted parallel to the bottom side of the keyboard? It just came to my mind that this could be a reason why we are experiencing this issue on the Kronos, while I did not notice the same problem on the SV1 which should have the ...

Same problem here. It's definitely a combination of rebounce problem with sound triggering. Right now I'm playing the Kronos thru my Master Keyboard... It's really pissing me off that my 4000 Euro investment is hardly playable at all.
