Can you tell me how many programs come stock in the kronos?
Hi, it depends on what you call a "program" (you didn't use capital P).
Programs: 1,536
One Program can include two different engines. The Programs are in 12 banks, 128 in each. There is one empty bank for 128 user Programs - however all Programs are changeable.
Combis: 480
One Combi can contain max. 16 Programs. They are also in banks with 128 slots (3 bank is full, the 4th bank contains 96 Combis). There are also 1312 empty Combi slots.
There are additional Programs and Combis on the SSD (the EXs2 Concert Grand Pianos from OASYS, the EXs3 Brass & Woodwinds and the EXs4 Vintage Keyboards).
I want to emphasize that the factory Programs and Combis above are not simple sounds, there is no useless "filling" material. All of them are professionally created and ready to use. IMHO they add a serious value to the instrument.
Additionally, there are GM sounds, a lots of Drum Kits, multisamples, wave sequences.
Moreover, the "sound" can be dramatically influenced by KARMA. Each Programs and Combis have KARMA settings. Sometimes turning it on/off results a very different sound.
Last but not least there are 185 effect types to add in a very flexible way.
The sound quality of all the above is first class, amazing.
