After one year looking for a synth which would add a real other sound to the Kronos, I've finally bought a Moog Grandmother.

The GM is perfect for what I was looking for : a root, big and ample analog sound. It reminds me the good old time of Minimoog in all the best 70's productions.

It's really a wonderful gift to do to our Kronos. Soon, I will sample it !!

Is there anyone here who got also a Grandmother ?
I go back to the Mini Moog days. I don't have a GM - it is a smart purchase.
Getting the classic Mini sound is cool. Nothing like it.

I noticed the keyboard begins with "F" and it has 32 keys. How are you getting along with this configuration ?
Kronos 88. MODX8

Well, to be honnest, I had the first try yesterday ! But immediately I was impressed by this warm sound, very present. And this approach is so different. It reminds me my first analog synth, the MS-20, in the 70's.
Immediately, the GM takes its own place beside the Kronos. Some motion pads or Karma at left hand, a soft solo on GM on the right hand. What a pleasure !!

You asked me about the little KB. With this very short try, I can't say I felt limited. Even though some are complaining about the key sequence for transposing, I didn't find it difficult.

My next try will be to connect my 61 keys synth.

Here is a video from a guy who produces many tutos and is a good musician. He did many tutos about the Grandmother. Here, it's only a musicale one, solo playing. I particuilary like from 10:10 (a very soft sound).
