Kronos output on iMac without using Logic

Post by lcmorley »

Hi All

So, I am currently having issues with my iMac playing audio from my Kronos.

I have connected the USB to my iMac and can hear the Kronos perfectly well when I use Logic and arm the track for recording.

However, without logic running, I have checked the Sound preferences. I have set the input to be KRONOS and the output to be Built In Speaker. Also, on the input page, the input level is showing that there is sound coming into the iMac from my Kronos, however there is nothing coming out of the built in speaker.

I have tried using headphones and changing the output to headphones but to no avail.

Anybody had the same issue before?

Thanks

Leon.

Hi one

I was under the impression that this isn't possible
It's my understanding that this can only be done using a daw
Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone

It is possible, however, to select the Kronos as an output source without using a daw.... I don't know if you want to do that. It's useful for sampling sounds from the computer directly into the Kronos

I was actually talking about the other way around.

Having the Kronos as the sound source, and playing through the speakers on the iMac without having to open Logic each time.

I addressed that with my first answer. :wink: I don't believe this is possible – unless somebody knows of a workaround

Hi, the issue is well known, you would need an application that routes audio in to your internal speakers!

Look here for free Line in app or just google for free applications that adress your problem.There is no native mac solution for this problem!

There is noticeable latency but it's workable
