LCD screen has gone blank!

My LCD screen has gone blank, although everything else seems to be working ok.

Does anyone know a fix. I can't reload the OS because I can't see anything.

Alternatively, does anyone know of a place in central London I can get this fixed?

DAW recommendations to go with my Kronos?

I got my Kronos 88 a few weeks ago and just loving it (no Kronos bashing here :) ). In fact it has so unleashed my music flow and creativity that I am now itching to get a good DAW to go with it. I would greatly appreciate some recommendations...am prepared to go to a more high end one rather than ...

I just go into combi mode, press one button and let the machine do all the playing for me. I can even sit the other side of the room (that's a joke by the way :D )

Being new to the wonderful world of the Kronos and synths in general, I have a rather basic question that may seem rather dumb to you more experienced guys. When the OS 1.5 finally arrives, how will one actually download it from the computer to the Kronos. After connecting the two via the USB port ...

Last week I went to a couple of leading pro-audio and music shops near London and was told I could be waiting months for a Kronos 88. I then sat on the phone, rang around suppliers in South East UK and found a shop with 2 in stock. I ordered it on Friday and had it delivered on Monday. It's really a ...

Is it possible to sing through the Kronos?

Hi guys, just got a Kronos 88 and still 'all at sea' (incidentally ordered it over the phone in the UK two days ago and it was delivered next day...tsunami or not, nothing like working those phones!). My god what a wonderful board...but to a total workstation newbie, it really is 'rocket science ...

Would appreciate advice regarding the best music store to get general advice and then buy a new board (and all ancillary stuff) in or near London. Also any individual sales guy who really knows his stuff

Someone in the motifator forum said the word is out (yeah yeah another rumor) that Yamaha is going to announce a motif xf rack at Winter NAMM. That would certainly sit well with the Kronos. I saw your response to that in motifator Apex

As the originator of this thread I feel I have a certain right to comment on the 'is Sina a fantasist or a keyboard fanatic?' debate. The point is that this thread has thrown up some really interesting and wide-ranging discussions on a number of things that are of genuine interest to people who love ...

Thanks for all the useful opinions...they have been very helpful. My conclusion....Kronos is the most advanced board around despite some weaknesses like build quality and an inferior sequencer to the motif. However, bearing in mind where we are in 2011, it would be worth waiting to see what the ...

Reading that Roland release, it wouldn't surprise me if Yamaha ends up taking over Roland! Industry consolidation often happens in hard economic times. Maybe my question should have been, if a manufacturer was to create the workstation to end all workstations (within the confines of present ...

You are right Meshax..that was sloppy of me. I hadn't read the Motifator replies myself and a friend told me that they were all recommending the Kronos. Having read them now, I can see there are variable views...interesting never the less
