Excellent video. I can confirm that I own both those keyboards. Since I got the Techno Beat. I never touch the Kronos.

I thought his contest winning video was great as well. The first couple days I had my K - the chorus of that song "what would I do for a Kronos" was going over and over in my head.

Very nice video, but I'm afraid I cannot pay the $5000 for the TechnoBeat monster.

However, I have a Image

Never used it on a gig, but if I connect it to the Kronos I could get a similar 'experience' as with the TechnoBeat.

my buddy has a circuit bent one of those that he has used live a few times - it sounds really cool all mangled up.

Very funny!

I looked up most of my pre owned synths on vintagesynth. All of them were rated at least a 4 out of 5; being married has made me an extremely critical shopper and savvy buyer, but....HOW DID I MISS THAT TECHNO BEAT? :) I should have listened to the guys at GC!

BTW, just picked up our eldest dog, she had to have a front toe removed, so I am trying to be both a worker bee and a nursemaid. Unfortunately this has temporarily cut into my Kronos time!
