Many years ago I had a similar problem when installing a new Linux kernel on my PC. The problem was caused by faulty RAM in the location where the Linux kernel itself was loaded to. With the old kernel, the fault happened to be located within a kernel function that was never (or rarely) called, so ...

Re: First true Kronos CRASH (EVER) since updating to 2.1!

I've owned the Kronos basically ever since it came out. Once in a blue moon it would get a little quirky if left on for days (or weeks) at a time but after a reboot it was always back to normal. Last night I had rehearsal and a TOTALLY different thing happened. In the middle of playing it just flat ...

UPDATE

OK, I'm thinking this isn't a hardware issue.

I back-installed OS 2.0.6. The keyboard has run all weekend with no shutdowns. Color me puzzled (but happy the darned thing will stay on).

I'm going to try re-installing OS 2.1 and see what happens.

OK ... got home from work, where I could look into the auto-off. My Kronos does not have an auto-off function. Back to the drawing board. Before I drive this thing 150 miles to the nearest service center, would there be any value in either ... a) Re-installing 2.0.6 and seeing if the problem ...

See the Parameter Guide (version E6 - new manuals for 2.1!), "Auto Power-Off Setting…" in the Global Page Menu Commands. This menu command may or may not be available, depending on the model of KRONOS being used. Default time, on models which support this feature, is 4 hours, and a message will a ...

Re: Kronos -- Shuts down after install of OS 2.1

Hi guys, I recently purchased a Kronos used. It worked great for more than a week -- at home, in rehearsal, live onstage. Not a hiccup. At that point, I saw that my OS was at 2.0.6, so I decided to update to OS 2.1. I installed the update, and the keyboard immediately shut down, then tried to ...

You can't quite do it that way, no. The 5IFX, 2 MFX, and 1TFX represents the total effects processing power of the M3 or M50. When you want to start getting into complicated setups and if you're working on your own songs in song mode, you'll find that you have to make stategic compromises - subtler ...

Actually, I probably didn't. And that's a problem. Your response prompted me to learn how to copy a program properly into a combi, so I should be able to solve that now. Thanks. Can you (or anyone else) tell me ... There are some songs for which I need, say, a keyboard sound (like an acoustic piano ...

No leslie effect on organ combis

Hey all,

Whenever I build a combi from scratch that uses a rock organ program, I lose the ability to kick on the leslie effect with the joystick. But for the preset combis that use rock organ, the effect always works fine.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks tons in advance!

I have an M3-73, and I love the keybed.

It's just firm enough to be able to play piano reasonably expressively, and nice synth action for everything else. Good feel, good aftertouch. Can't say anything bad about it.

Terry, I'm pretty new to the M3, and I was in the same boat. I wanted a used board and was fortunate enough to win an e-bay auction on a 73-key M3 for $1,450. I considered that an absolute steal. My board was not equipped with the Expanded OS, so I did that right away. It wasn't a difficult process ...
