Playing with it and reading the manuals now....I will reserve any judgements until I play with it for a day. Reading the manual for me is a must because it is not as easy to use as my Fantom G...

Are the buttons like the Triton's (i.e., the clicky ones that wear out after awhile)?

Is the endorphin spigot in your brain wide open right now?

So what language is the manual in? I assume the user interface on the Kronos is in English. How about the onboard help/manual? Does it come with a printed manual?

Good point!

If there's an English version of the manual on the DVD, maybe we'll see it uploaded by users before Korg eventually gets around to putting it online.

I see you're running the audio thru the usb connection on the Kronos. What's the sound quality - compared to connecting it with regular jacks?

It comes with a printed Multi-language Quick Start Guide. The are separate Operations Guides pdf's on the DVD in English, Japanese, German, French, and Spanish. Questions about manuals...Hit me up via PM :wink:

Kronos onboard HELP manual is in English by DEFAULT. The manual says appears to say it can be in Japanese but haven't located how to do that.

I connected Kronos to my computer via USB so I could sample music from iTunes. Haven't explored much beyond sampling....(and writing down my suggestions for improving it)
