Still have my original Kronos 76 from early 2012....

When I made the investment in it, I *did* hope it was going to be supported for a decent length of time.... Unlike buying the latest laptop computer? Synth makers don't sell individual models by the millions and they don't upgrade them every 3-6 months whenever something slightly faster or with more ...

re: ACID Pro

Interesting.... I used to really enjoy working with Sony ACID Pro, but I've practically given up on the product at this point because I just can't get the sound quality out of it that I expect. Am I just being overly sensitive or picky, or is there some trick to making it play back better than what ...

You DO have to do a little bit of work, too ....

I remember when I had my first KORG Triton, I started out thinking a lot of the presets were a little bit "thin". But I started using the features in it to change the settings around, and took advantage of a lot of custom stuff people were sharing on the Internet. When I finally went to trade it in ...

I find the grass is ALWAYS greener looking on the other side

Whatever instrument(s) you own, there will be another great one out there you don't have yet which makes you question if it's a better choice than what you're using. I love music, but when it comes to my playing skills, I'm really more of a guitarist than a keyboardist. I just love to tinker, love ...

PDF manuals

Seriously, I used to be one of the people who was irked every time I purchased a new piece of computer software and discovered no printed manual in the box. But times, they are a changin'. I got used to working with PDF documents and never went back. The search capabilities are FAR better than ...

Re: Regular Kronos crashes?

Actually, I'm pretty sure I fixed it last night! I pulled the aftermarket SSD out of the KRONOS and installed it in a Dell laptop so I could work on it. It turns out the laptop couldn't even see the SSD as an installed device! I made a bootable CD with OCZ's "workbench tools" and booted from that ...

Regular Kronos crashes?

I completely know the feeling! I posted not too long ago in another thread here about all of my headaches with my own Kronos. In my case though, I had a new unit which seemed to work fine when I first got it, but I had a few "hiccups" when trying to do the first one of the software updates that was ...

I think my comments were taken the wrong way?

It's not a matter of me "blaming KORG" for the problems I'm having with my KRONOS. Rather, I'm saying I tried numerous troubleshooting steps to isolate the source of the problem, and didn't really come any closer to a solution. (Various message posts I read in this forum over time suggested ...

Re: Same problem here!

Indeed.... Like many of us on the forums, I'm very familiar working with computers (do I.T. for a living). So when I see the inside of the Kronos, I see something not much unlike a standard Linux based PC inside, except with a keybed interfaced with it instead of a traditional computer keyboard or ...

Same problem here!

I bought my Korg 73 key Kronos in the first few weeks it was available, and it worked flawlessly for me at first. Mind you, I don't gig with it and am just more of a hobbyist. I leave it attached to my Mac as part of a little home studio I have set up. Pretty early on, I upgraded the RAM with 2 2GB ...

Not to "stir the pot" but ....

If the companies offering the commercial sound libraries haven't offered them in a version directly compatible with our synth, and someone goes to the effort to convert them (reassigning key ranges, etc.) so they do? I feel like the original manufacturer could have offered that for sale themselves ...

Kronos USB driver on Mac OS X 10.8.4

I'm not sure if this was discussed elsewhere or not, but I just ran into a problem.... I use a Macbook Pro 17" (2010 model with a Core i7 CPU and 8GB of RAM, plus a 512GB SSD drive I put in it) for all of my audio work. I've been so busy with other things though, I haven't even tried recording with ...

Interesting!

I kept running into a similar issue, where I'd power up my Kronos after not using it for a little while, and it would only boot part way, and then stop with a message about a system file being corrupt and to reinstall the OS. (Not the exact same thing as the "remove USB device" error, I suppose, but ...

re: OCZ SSDs

Yeah, a lot of people in computers and I.T. will tell you to avoid OCZ SSDs. The last time I was in my local Micro Center store, a kid was asking the salesperson how one of the OCZ Agility drives they had on sale would be for a new PC he was building, and the sales guy even told him, "I would go ...
