Lemme ask you - what drugs are you smoking? Something that allows you to know what I do or don't do in my personal life? :shock: Either you're clairvoyant, or you're a first-rate idiot. :evil:

Yes, in MIXES. But SINGLE SAMPLES? No. Would you dare to try my double blind test?

Kronos and the software sampled world

Post by videorov »

I wonder if the software sampled keyboard world will over take
the fixed hardware keyboards of the future. Maybe just have a
great weighted keyboard controller and just keep adding the new
software as it gets better and better. You could have a wireless touchscreen for control aswell. I think its heading that way and will be
easier to upgrade and change things.
Something to think about. Hey Alica Keys and Komplete 7 and
Synthogy Ivory Grand Piano just a few out there.
Then you could build the system you want. Hmmmmmmm

I have yet to see a vid or review with something I really can't stand. Threads do seem to take on a life of their own though.

Anyway I do hope they release a help guide other then just loaded into the Kronos. I like a hard copy. I like to add my own notes and references. I find it helps me learn better. Anyone have any idea when we might be able to download a manual?

That's the situation AFAIK:

There's conflicting news:

the pdf already exists (it is probably not optimized, since the Italian demonstrator told me it's more than 10 megabyte heavy. So it's probably an "open" file abailable for editing, not the "ready for web" final version which is usually far lighter).

He told me that it is embargoed until the Kronos is materially released.

Dan on the other hand was a bit surprised about that (read above, on this thread), meaning that he probably knows some copies are already circulating (beta testers/top clients maybe).

Sounds like they could let it out once it's finally edited with the last bug-fixing, even if the Kronos is not yet in the stores.

I strongly hope so. Would seriously help analyzing its features.




PS: one of the two trolls above messaged me in private, threatening to start a fight, last night at 23. The other genius talks in terms of "challenging" (what's this: a gangsta-rap street brawl?) and is pestering "evildragon" with insults. Can't Sharp set a minimum-18-year-old age limit for Forum participation? Or at least: request that drugs and weapons be left at the door? :roll:

I translate for Peter, who doesn't speak German as good as me.

It means

"Baron Krupp will not take part to the Seance Spiritique that Madame Shelley is keeping at her Manor tonight".

Passtimes for aristocrats, you know.

Manuals are typically released just prior to the release of the instrument. No doubt there will be a pdf, which you can have printed at local shop. I doubt that there be a hard copy included with the instrument.

Lougheed, I realize that and I usually do the printing myself! Although if it does materialize at 10 Meg and is several hundred pages I may just get it to the shop and have it spiral bound on a cart!

Bear in mind the OASYS parameter guide is 1185 pages - so it will be at least that plus the two extra engines!

16-bit gives you about 96 dB of dynamic range in theory, which is pretty much enough if you don't want to make your ears bleed. :lol:
As u are mp3 fan boy, u have distroyed ur ears, bucause for mp3 fund boys, better sound means lounder sound. so u pass the safe sound level very easely, and then ur ers beging to demage which is not true so when u listen to ur compressed music loudly at public trunsport, u just destroying ur ears.

the bed news is that u never will restore ur ears if u dameged them

p.s.
Any professian music enginir with proffesional studio equipment can tell the difference between 24 bit/ 48 khz and 16 bit/48khz good recordings

for example
the big dinamic level not aways means the lound sound, it always it also can mean that the sound can be very quit, i can hear up to - 100 dbs on pecks from 800 hz to 8 khz, but probably u cannot, but it does not menan if u cannot then awrybody else cannot
