Korg Kronos editor ?

jimknopf · Post by **jimknopf** » Sat Jul 25, 2015 10:18 pm

1. On my music notebook with 17' screen and 1920x1080 resolution the editor fills less than half of the screen and looks slightly smaller than my Kronos screen. I have problems reading and working with the small elements there. Is there any way to get a bigger editor window (apart from reducing notebook screen resolution, which is no real option for me)?

Concerning the full midi quest version, this would by my first question as well like Sander's

2. The full Midiquest 11Pro 64bit offers a lot. So the high price is not unfair IMO, but still relatively high for everyone only owning about two hardware synths or so, which can be edited from here (no Moogs included, no Prophet 6 yet).
When will it be available including support Kronos V3? I only see Kronos V2 supported so far.

3.
P.S.In the present Kronos Uniquest editor, where do I find the Cubase patch script export?

1. I'm also using it on a laptop with a small screen and the size of the screens is no better than the Knonos. But it does save on the back ache and the stiff neck. Would be with a larger display area.

2. I'm assuming the V2 refers to the Kronus 2 model and not the OS version but I can't confirm that. I'm assuming/hoping the V3.0.3 OS is supported since that's all that is supported with the free version and OS 3.

It's on the Global Page, Jim, on the right.

I also have a problem with the size of the editor (30" Dell 2560x1600). But at least with a Mac you can zoom the screen with ctrl + mouse wheel - very handy.

Wow. Broadwave, your tip put my nose on a Windows option I never used before:
I found out now, that in Windows 7 you can use a similar function, but which by standard pushed the view to 200% with one button press (useless in most cases). This can be adjusted to work in 25% steps in its' options menu. Then you can use the Windows key together with + or - to zoom in and out in 25%. steps. That's not as nice as seamless mouse wheel scrolling in and out, but at least it is useable.

May be familiar to others, but I just stumbled over that.

Still waiting for my other questions to be possibly answered by soundquest staff posting here.

Jim I was told that the update for the Kronos editor in Midiquest Pro 11 would possibly be released last weekend so I imagine it should be soon [hopefully]

I tried using the built in Windows Magnifier app on a 2-in-1 laptop/tablet. The magnifier worked great. And Windows rearranged everything on the desktop because it thought the screen orientation changed. Leave it to Microsoft to screw up something as simple as that.

Try holding down the CTRL button while scrolling with the mouse wheel.

@BaldEagle:
I had the same Windows desktop mess with my first effort and the default 200%. But after downsizing magifiying steps to 25% this did not happen again.

@Psionic:
That (CTRL-Mouse) only works within program windows like Firefox, Word etc.
It does not magnifiy or minimize the whole desktop screen content.

I would use the editor way more but it simply won't communicate with my computer. I've tried removing other MIDI drivers but it still doesn't work. Anyone know if windows 10 will address this?
