I have the 45 pound Kronos X 73, and it is held beautifully by a K&M Spider Pro:

Funny, all of my synths are in my studio, but I have an acoustic piano in my home... whenever I write something at that piano, it's just always so different than what I compose in my studio, even on my Kronos with a grand piano sound. I'm trying to spend more time really LEARNING my gear now. Too ...

A friend of mine just recently broke out his Tascam Portastudio 4-track and "new old stock" cassette to try and recording something "old school." :-) I loved the recent Genesis 3 Sides Live Blu-Ray reissue -- the behind the scenes footage showed Tony Banks with his Prophet opened up, connected to an ...

Ironically, you guys are showing your age with the Casio amateur vs. pro thing :-p lol... and I remember that as well! We grew up in that era, yet I had a Casio CZ-1000 which was a great alternative to a DX-7 at the time. I still remember the Casio arranger keyboards in dept. stores, though... Today ...

As I noted in my review, what they really just need is a modern software editor. The existing one reminds me of decades-old DOS applications :-p. I'm hoping to see the next generation of their synths at NAMM (though I don't have any official report of this), taking their HEX-whatever sound engine ...

Thanks NJ. No, first generation wouldn't work. This is in mint condition...

The Casio is nice -- I reviewed that for MusicPlayers.com. I hated the user interface, personally, but it has some very cool, inspiring sounds. And... nothing that light weight has a keyboard that feels that good.

If anyone in the NY metro area is interested in a mint condition Kronos X 73 with the full 3.0 update, I need to downsize into the 61-key version. It's too heavy to move back and forth from my studio to home on a daily/weekly basis. If you have one in mint condition and want to trade that plus some ...

I used my Kronos X 73 extensively on the Dream Eternal Bliss EP. http://spoti.fi/1O752kF The song "Don't Stop" started with a Kronos loop. The songs "Die and Learn" and "Leave me Be" feature the piano. I use it for a lot of my string sounds, though thicker pads come from my Korg Wavestation AD ...

Interesting question! I reviewed the PX-5S this past year, used it for a couple of months, during which time I also had my Kronos X-73 as the main fixture in my keyboard rig. The PX-5S has excellent piano sounds... but not in the same class as the Kronos X. There's more three-dimensionality and ...

I got an error when trying to update my Kronos X suggesting that it couldn't find/read the files in some way. I suspect the problem is with USB drives that were formatted as FAT16 by Macintosh computers via Disk Utility. I re-formated the USB drive as FAT32 from within the Kronos, then put the USB ...

Thanks!

Finally upgraded my workstation from a classic 01/W Pro to a Kronos X this past fall (keys took a back seat to my guitar playing for a while). I have a handle on many things, but a few basics are escaping me: 1. Using one of the grand piano sounds... how can I simply add delay effects or mess with ...

If you love Porcupine Tree, Marillion, Dream Theater, Rush, Yes, Pink Floyd, etc. then check out http://www.myspace.com/daysbeforetomorrow . We're searching for a new keyboard player as ours had to relocate across the country. We're in our late 30s, experienced, connected, have multiple recordings ...

It was worth every penny I paid for it! Nice to know you no longer have to pay for boring music.
:-p
