Why did you buy a Kronos then anyway?mjames4208 wrote:I haven't turned on my Kronos in MONTHS! I only used it as a sound module anyway.

I love my Kronos, but I'm done with workstations.
How much of the Kronos's Brain have you used?

Lol.... The same reason everybody else did.
It'll be put to work this summer, though.

I think that depending on what the OP means by the post question "How much of the Kronos's Brain have you used?" the result could vary greatly !
If we take complex engines like AL-1, STR-1 or MOD-7 I think we can tweek a sound based on an already programmed one quite easily.
For instance by changing the filter aperture, enveloppes, effects etc.. But in my opinion this is not going in depth.
I took a plounge in mainly all the engines except MOD-7 and CX3.
But I can say that I only stayed at the surface for the complex ones.
I also imported some samples from AKAI CDs to play a bit with HD-1.
So even 20% seemed to me too much so I will say less than 10%.
May be another range from 5 to 10% should be added to the vote ?
Cheers.

Well if you haven't turned it on in months and you are done with workstations, I know a good home for it in The Netherlands. Seriously, let me know! I will even pay shipping as I want to add a second Kronos.mjames4208 wrote:I haven't turned on my Kronos in MONTHS! I only used it as a sound module anyway.

That said, I really hope you DO use it. While software is cool, there is an insane amount of power within Kronos that softsynths frankly cannot touch.
Namaste,
