Are there any main sounds that are below par on the Kronos ? For my work I need excellent Piano, Rhodes, Brass, Strings, Choirs, Pads, Lead Synths, Poly Synths, Clavs. Are the Brass Sections Convincing ? The Brass is fine. I recommend getting the Funk and Soul Brass to augment what comes stock. As ...

I don't quite understand the 2nd part of Combi Banks, but I think the Remap Idea is GREAT and feasible as an option from the Global Menu. My Combi banks are way under utilized as well! The questions I see are this: 1.) Could the Kronos handle the data structure type in those locations? Or could the ...

Worth repeating here: I think there's a lot of miles left on the current Kronos. What I'd like to see: -More synth Engines (Mono/Poly, How about an ARP Odyssey eh?) -A fully operational D6 clavinet in EP-1 with on the fly rocker switches, mute, and amp models. -Other Organ models (Farfisfa, Vox ...

Loads of valid info, which brings to this, From what I have heard the CX3 organ tone is decent enough, usable for me when I cannot have my Mojo or A100 on stage, but like most clones its the Leslie that sounds wrong. I have a Vent which I would use with the CX3, Can you assign the CX3 to one of the ...

You want me to compare based on an ambient tablet mic? Seriously? I would have recorded this direct so I could actually hear the two pianos full spectrum. I mean if take a Stradivarius violin and a cheap Chinese one and record them both, add in ambient noise, cut the highs, cut the lows, to the ...

Thanks Nuskooltone, Great to get feedback from players who have the Kronos on the road, You make reference to program slots and running out. Exactly how many slots do you get ? Oh when I say that, I just mean between available RAM (Max 3GB) and that there are so many sounds you can do between the ...

Re: Latest Mk 2 Kronos Realibilty ?

I've been gigging with the Original Kronos 73 for over 2 years and never an issue (Over 100+ gigs). Yes I'd recommend a UPS for the boot up time, but if you remember to boot while you're still setting up I've never had to wait for it. It's proven durable too. Long drops on concrete in a case, and a ...

Check out this configurable midi pedal. Has everything but the kitchen sink and is compact.

Expensive and I have yet to try one, but what an AWESOME idea!

It's a bit of manual work, but with the Akai CDs sometimes you can consolidate multiple presets into one program and then split across ranges and velocity switching. There is of often a LOT of repetition on Akai CDs of what is essentially the same sounds with minor tweaks IME. Something worth ...

Nicely done! I have a different motive for this project.

Question: What's the difference in weight between the HDF board and the plywood? Was there a significant difference? I gig my 73 a LOT and the weight is the only thing I'm not in love with.

Got one today, after a long testing session and comparison with a dozen other synths in a big shop in Cologne. I still don't like using preset numbers in 2015. But the rest was THAT convincing to me, that I would call it "my synth of the year". After another two hours in my homestudio I'm ...

But if the VA sound is modelled well, they would get some attention for a good reason. Wait, so somewhere in this thread I thought we were saying these were ANALOG which would give excuse for the low polyphony? I mean if these are VAs, that that's just some kind of sick joke! Maybe's that's ...

Ok Found it. It "snuck" in on the working track. Though I ended up redoing a lot anyway. Easier/Faster than learning Korg's definitions of Move, Erase, and Copy are. At least for this LOL

I've run into this problem tonight. I accidentally hit the drum track on button while recording and now of course it starts playing at that point. Of course, it doesn't show as data on any of the tracks. SOOooo frustrating! I'm hoping I can sleuth the drum track on button as control data and erase ...
