Yeah - definitely not cool:

$ md5 *.zip
MD5 (KRONOS_Update_2_0_6 (1).zip) = 9644bd4580103589f07aa4488abaadd9
MD5 (KRONOS_Update_2_0_6 (2).zip) = f3205c1892ec330f8ebb32cba2aa4c12

*sings* None of these things are quite like the other

You know, this isn't the first download from Korg that I've had to re-do on account of file corruption. Not sayin' it's them, but it's a bit scary. It's probably a stretch, but it'd sure be nice if they posted a md5sum of the images with the download to make sure we're getting what we're supposed to ...

Might I ask the opposite question. Are there a simple way to make the LED been more visible ? I found it practical sometimes when we are practicing with our band to set the tempo on different songs. I know this should be the drummers job, but I already have it ready under my hands ( exept if I am ...

...to avoid an unnecessary visual distraction. I can see the need for it when you want it, but if you're not using it, why have something constantly flashing in your peripheral vision.

Quick Kronos Story (sorry if OT)

Sharp/Pepperpotty - any others - kill this if it's way off topic, I totally understand. Hey all, throwing some good/happy news into the mix. I've had my Kronos (or a Kronos) for close to a month now. After advice and guidance from the board I'm happy to say I've kept it. What I didn't mention is my ...

Perhaps more complicated, but (IMO) less potentially destructive would be to port the UI from the touch screen to something like an iPad and use that as a control surface as it were. Not all of the elements of the Kronos UI can be represented with something as generic as MidiDesigner so some work ...

Gents, I'm sure we all can do better - so a little attention when typing and some reading to be done, if needed. Not applying these terms consistently is one of the prime reasons why jokers can get along in the business and newcomers get confused, so please enforce some discipline! :) Thank you for ...

I don't see how 48k has greater dynamic range than 44.1k though, as I understand it, bit depth deals with dynamics and samplerate deals with, eh, "audible waveform accuracy" if you will, especially in higher pitches. In other words, if have a 10kHz pure sine, a 44.1k sampling will only represent ...

This first bit might not help, but I'm making sure I'm not confused. A few people have referred to 16/24 bit-ness as "bit rate". I don't believe that's correct. That is bit depth . Bit rate is the number of bits transmitted over time. The bit rate for a 44.1k sample @ 16 bit would be lower than a ...

This is the kind of stuff I love hearing. I was getting my perception colored by some of the negatives and I'm finding that my other pro rigs now seem like toys while I wait for my replacement to ship (GC just did a swap when I reported 2xTrigger and the manager verified the serial was +3600 ...

Probably side-thread worthy, but in the cases where folks have put wlan trancievers in their rigs, I'm curious about noise/interference. Even without wlan I've had cases where I've had to have my ethernet runs stay away from audio cables for that matter since it's all UTP Cat 5e/6 (unshielded ...

Thanks all!

Appreciate the input - the overwhelming response is the Kronos is worth it even if there's bumps in the road. Now if we can get Guitar Center to do the right thing... hopefully they have another in stock and I don't have to wait. There's about 20 ideas that got fired off the first day I had the ...

The problem is the double strike/trigger keybed problem. The request really was for evenhanded opinions on whether Korg was worth sticking with or if I should save myself the trouble. I understand the repair, warranty and RMA process a little too well and have previously had some serious frustration ...
