I purchased a MX49 for that purpose (MIDIing the MX using the Kronos' keybed) and it works pretty well. For those who were on the fence about the Motif sounds and the Kronos technology, it really allows you to have the best of both worlds. Of course, you don't have the adjustments possible on the MX ...

He was asking about the heat generated by the internal components radiating to the area around the bank selection buttons - not how to replace the fans. Wrong redirect there dadabujontomasteel

Music is life ... There's something for everyone. Bravo - this is the answer I will run with as well. Music is as different as there are people on this Earth. I mean, I've got opinions on what I like and dislike, but since I've been trying to learn to play a musical instrument, I've come to respect ...

Re: Good price on Kronos 88 these days?

I think I've decided to buy a Kronos X 88, new so I have the warranty. Right now Pro Audio Star has a new X 88 on ebay for $2700 USD, not including Korg's $300 rebate. Is that the best price you've seen recently? The problem I see with buying new products on eBay is that Korg likely won't recognize ...

Very strange that they are nitpicking and not jumping at the opportunity. I have never taken lessons, always have played by ear. I have studied some music theory especially lately and as stated above, learning your chords, scales to some degree and learning not to practice mechanically. There are a ...

I've been looking around at piano instruction and have found a few interesting (and annoying) things. One of the problems I seem to find is that they don't want to instruct adults, only children - don't know the reason for that - but I've encountered a few that simply won't take adults for ...

What's this about? For people who registered their Korg Kronos with Korg? People who bought extended libraries from Korg? Curious, as I have not seen anything from them besides e-mails.

Getting started - keyboards and piano

I purchased my Kronos keyboard a little more than a year ago, and have not really gotten started on my path to learning to play the instrument proper. When I say this, I don't mean the keyboard itself - I mean music. Yeah, I am a newbie. I had been trucking along pretty good with GarageBand's ...

Re: playing over backing tracks on time

i went to a clinic of steve mcnally and he played this song, my question is how can he be in time with the percussion or the backing track, while there is no click. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZJu0o9xZJ0 I'm not quite shure what exactly you are asking... Click? Why on earth would you even need ...

With this new update, if you haven't changed any of the factory sounds - can you just change the auto-loading preferences to load the V2 file instead of the standard file? They appear to be the same size. Is there any harm in this, as I was careful not to over-write the old factory files, just ...

I am always excited to see Apple refine their professional software offerings - though I don't yet own Logic or Mainstage.

I'd imagine a similar performance could be worked up, though you might have to change up the performance to work around the limitations of playing guitar sounds with a keyboard (some things you can easily do on a guitar aren't so easy on a keybed architecture). With enough trial and error, I'd ...

Anyone else has the same problem? Can't say I've smelled anything 'burning' inside, persay. New electronic devices sometimes emit a characteristic smell - hard to describe - and that's what I smelled. Since I have it hooked up to a UPS and line conditioner with my other musical gear - I simply left ...
