Kronos Random Volume Fluctuations - Suggestions Please

My Kronos X61 (10 years old) has been developing a volume control issue slowly but now it is serious. As I play during rehearsal or a gig, at some point the volume starts to diminish rather suddenly to maybe half or more of what it is set for. I notice it and compensate by turning up the volume as ...

I'm having the same problem with my Kronos X61. In the middle of playing a Combi, sometimes on stage with the band, suddenly my volume decreases drastically. It doesn't happen predictably and initially I would turn up my volume but then later the volume returned to normal and I'd be too loud ...

Excellent video and it's my first exposure to sampling. Question: I have a sax sound on my older Roland that I would love to have in my Kronos. Do I sample each and every key and those 73 samples and assign one to each individual key? Or do I do one central sample and then tell Kronos to spread it ...

Getting Pianos to Cut Through the Band

Hi All. I played my Krome 73 at a gig with our 5 piece band. Guitar, Bass, Drums, me on keys and a singer. I use the Krome for Piano, synth, strings etc. and a Hammond SK1 for organs an a couple other sounds. I created a combi to punch up the piano sound. I used 3 timbres of the Live Stage Piano ...

Is there a way to set up your Programs and Combi's in some sort of Set List order? If so, how many slots?

Thanks for the input so far everyone!

Switching from Kronos to Krome, What would I lose?

Hi All. I've owned my KronosX 61 for about 3 years and it's a great key board. But my keyboard needs have been changing. I have a Hamond SK1-73 as my lower keyboard and use it for Organ and a few other sounds; killer Clav Wah and a few other good sounds. But last year I fell and broke my back. I've ...

According to the Parameter Guide, go to Global P2: Controllers/Scales 2­-1: Controllers and under MIDI CC# Assign - Vector Joystick / Pads set VJS X and VJS Y to OFF. This should disable the Vector Joystick. A couple of years ago, I disabled my Vector Joystick by following the commands above. Now I' ...

I use double brace stands both with and without a second tier and I also use a K&M Spider Pro. Other than needing to bring some small wooden shims to make up for uneven floors, I've never had any possibilities of my Kronos falling after more than 100 gigs. For a single braced X stand, I'd be ...

Jee, that is the Exact situation I find myself in now. A new band that my friend & bass player wants me to play with does everything 1/2 step down. So I was hoping there was a way to at least lower a combi by 1/2 step without having to go into each timbre. But I don't think that is the case and ...

Michael, I've often thought of doing exactly what you are talking about. The patches & Combis vary so much in volume that its often difficult to go about adjusting them relative to each other and relative to what the you need to cut through in the band. I'd very much appreciate the feature you're ...

You should be able to create a Combi with the same program in both Timbre slots 1 & 2. Then set the pitch of one of them 12 half notes higher or lower. Then when you hit one note, you will get octaves. I do it on my Kronos all the time. I recently got an X50 also and the method should work on it also

This is my experience based on what I've heard and done in my gigging. Stereo is not likely to reach the masses. It is more equipment to carry and it may sound better to you on stage, but those in the bar, theater or other venue are rarely going to notice the difference. Given that amps or powered ...
