You seem to have conveniently overlooked the main point of my reply. Also, I see very few people holding their phones, tablets, etc., upto their face in order to have a straight line of sight.
Answer this, as the Kronos is a workstation.
A) So with the Kronos laying flat on a table "untilted", with you seated in front. Can you select tabs, menus, edit the screen comfortably and all the parameters.. "WITHOUT" leaning over, straining your back, neck or eyes? And do it for a few hours nonstop?
B) Is the Kronos screen harder to see than the M50, PA3x, Oasys, or M3?
I have played on a Kronos for about 1,5 hours, and did not notice too much difference ... it was a smaller font, but I did not notice myself of leaning forward (though might be necessary if eyes are less good; I wear contact lenses btw).
But on the other hand, how often do you edit menus etc for continuous times ... You go to another patch and start playing ... normally I don't look at the screen when I'm playing.
When editing, it's another story, but I assume the editor will make life easier (editing can be done on a computer with a big screen). So the problem will probably solve itself.
Only for those who have problems reading the patch names will keep the problem but even then you can lean forward for a sec and then start playing without looking at the screen.
