csteen, Can you be more specific about how you would do this?

Thanks,

Anybody find a "magic" marriage between a certain combi with karma and a particular song? (sssssshhhhhhh... it's a secret...)

Kronos and Band in a Box

Post by amartinod »

In Band in a box if you save your song as Standard midi file and load it to the Kronos, you the error message :
ILLEGAL SMF FILE....

Midi 0, Midi 1 which one does Kronos like ?

Thank you,

I am in the same position as you. I chose the Kronos because of the amazing voices and versatility. But I do miss the auto accompaniment facilities.

I now use a program called OMB - not the same as One Man Band, which is also excellent. But OMB recreates exactly the auto accompaniment I'm used to, and links to the Kronos via usb/midi

Hi all,

sorry for not answering but for some reason I totally overlooked this (my) thread. Sorry again for that!

Yes, I'm still looking for a solution to "enable" the arranger in the Kronos. I tried One Man Band recently, but I didn't like it. But I will give it a second chance.

Thank you all for your comments!

Kind regards

Bernd
