Glad I could assist you Andalve. Enjoy your Kronos. It's a powerful tool.

I have built combis based on the piano but I can also fade in strings and choir with my volume pedal. Haven't got a pig noise yet though! :D
When I do save my edits I usually just use the "save all" function in the pull down menu. It seems to work for me even though other people use a different method. I personally don't think any way is better than the other but then again I am also not an expert but I have had my Kronos for 8 1/2 months now and have figured out at least 3% of it!
If music is the food of love, play on and play loud!

Hahaha, thank you!, i am still waiting for my K. It's in Costa Rica now, but the problem is that it might take a while in a customs house, it requires some paperwork and the bureaucracy that this country has for importations it's ridiculous, soooo, one more week i hope so!!!

Regarding the 88 and 73-Note KRONOS's, pay attention to the Serial Numbers. If you can play one and see the box BEFORE you buy it, you can see the serial number on the box. I just read in another thread that the KRONOS 73's and 88's with a serial number of 3600 or higher do NOT have the old keybed and are trouble free. So if the keybed is your only concern in getting a 73 or 88, then this should help you get the keyboard you want instead of fearing problems and settling for a 61.

I posted it sina :D
and it is UNCONFIRMED...
from a lot of peoples experiences, who has a brand new kronos 73/88, reports a non defective keybed, and their serial number is always >3600..
Love my kronos 88 :D
Love my yamaha psr s910 as well

I feel your pain. Mine made it through the customs process okay, but the shipping ended one island away and well over a week late. I finally had to have a dive boat that was on a fuel run pick it up as a favor and bring it home. Box was soaked with salt water when I got it, but the innards were high and dry. All good now!
