[iskra-loop]

Hello Korg, I just bought one, so I hope you listen to all this people!

Cheers!

Many of us agree !

I have followed up. asked for tangible communication.

Very difficult to see the screen when playing outdoors, glare from the sky. Also, more memory. Thanks!

It was unfortunate that Korg did not have some type of adjustable hinge mechanism to raise /angle the LCD by 30 degrees.

Or it could be the LCD just doesn't have enough contrast + font size , such as the MODX and Fantom

I have read of folks using/adhering a home grown carboard shield to surround the LCD, cut off the glare of the sun.

Please add exclusive or choke groups to RPPR, such that if pattern 1 and 2 are in the same group and pattern 1 is playing and you trigger pattern 2, pattern 1 will stop when pattern 2 starts, in accordance with the sync setting of pattern 2.

Also please extend the range of available RPPR keys on the 76 and 88 key models so that the lower keys are not wasted by having them devoted to the all patterns off function. Only one key need be dedicated to this function.

How about an alternative to Karma?
Most of the times it is just too complex, when all I need is a (customizable) arpeggiator/step sequencer.
A subset of something akin to Cthulhu implemented inside the Kronos would be dope (https://xferrecords.com/products/cthulhu).

Time display in sequencer mode (HH:MM:SS.xxx)

RPPR - ability to record a pattern while others are playing.

Some kind of auto sampling wizard. Select MIDI output channel, audio input(s), note range, number velocity samples, number of keys/sample. The wizard generates the MIDI data and plays it, and records a mutisample set. Option to automatically covert to a program.

Over said but once again :
When in sequencer mode : To have the possibility (when we are looking through the drum patterns) to test the drum patterns WITH the listening of the song we are working on. A must.

2. A proper mixdown function in SEQ that lets you mix down the whole song (or partial) to WAV, MP3, M4A, maybe OGG and other popular formats without going into sampling mode. Render direct from SEQ to USB drive in preferred format for easy sharing.

I would add: ability to export a song as a set of WAV files, one per track, so they could be imported into a DAW for mixing / mastering.

9]new engines [ Vox continental, trident]

Add physical modelling for flutes, brass, and maybe guitar. I'm thinking of the Yamaha VL series, it can sound much better than the sampling route.
Sampled electric guitar or flute never sound natural to me.

[Lightbringer]

Good one on the export stems feature entonio!

Also to add to list:

Allow Kronos sequencer MIDI tracks to be used as a Karma input.

[kronoSphere]

There are some "curious" Factory Combis which block the first 4 slots (1, 2, 3 and 4) of effects WITHOUT using any of these slots.
It will be absolutely good and fair to be able to use them though..
A MUST too !!!

I dont think this one would be too difficult for Korg. It just anoys me that the search function doesnt work more like the favourites function. So that when you search for a sound, it would just remove the sounds that doesnt fit the search parameters. (like when it removes non-favourised sounds)

1. More Precise SEQ

 (I don’t know if it’s related to MIDI Clock, but even quantized 8-bar simple drums will not be the same after recording directly to DAW.)
2. Transferable Sound Library License to New Kronos 3
3. Type and Rename like iPhone
4. Resizable Editor (VST, AU and AAX)
5. New Natural Drum kits
6. More programable note for each Pad when connected with Nano Pad 2, like M3 Pad has.
7. Easy interface and key config for Drum recording to SEQ.

 (With Nano Pad or whatever, User should be able to record Drum tracks to Kronos SEQ directly without setting hard.)
8. Design and position of Vector Joystick.
9. Fast Bug Fix.

 (SEQ is not stable sometimes.)

(Program P4 Basic / Vector Color Layout is still opposite?)
10. Lots More Parameter for IFX, MFX and TFX,
11. New RH Keybed
12. Lots more User Bank (Program/Combi)
13. Lots more RAM
14. Upgradable SSD / RAM
15. USB-C

I agree with you ryokorgjapan

May I had also this : Please Korg delete the absolute useless "Link to current" in the sequencer. There are so much other things to add into it !
