well my studio is not up but I can upload some NI patterns/compositions if u like? Its no M3 in there yet, or other synths.

I suppose the Groove XR would be the thing for me, but its not selling in my country. I like to mix 20 Native softsynts in the same time, in real time, thats very cool
Yeh great :)
And when you get your DSI - stick up some clips!

Agreed, there was a difference between the 77 & 99:

a rubbish nasty fx section (SY77) let the side down (along with signal:noise issues caused by the LCD)
The 99 apparently had re-recorded waveforms, better D/A conversion and a better FX section.

Still, the 77 is monster machine - wouldn't be without mine, and Kronos ain't gonna change that! :lol:

well, I still don't know what you mean by clips, is it patches, or just mp3?

do you mean video clips?

LOL - clips= audio examples/sounds/presets/demos etc etc

I thought it might be nice just to hear (a) what the machines sound like and (b) what you're doing with them.


No worries either way :soundsgood

Dan :D

1. let's find out how much does cost Kronos.
2. after that let's think of what should we cut from Kronos to have the same price as M3.
3. ... depends on 1 and 2. because it may be result like this:
Kronos = M3 + 2000$
Cutting hdd/ram/keyboard bed/screen/buttons/.../ >>>>
Kronos - 2000$ = Kronos OS and some sound banks :lol:

Sorry to drag up this old thread, but I stumbled across it by accident whilst researching the Kronos.

I gotta know, does anyone know if Sina172 is still alive? I mean, people who are that deluded and mentally unstable often end up doing something stupid.

I enjoyed reading his posts though, hilarious!

It wouldn't ahve been so bad if he said he had 2 of these and 3 of the other, but when he started saying 16 of these and 20 of these, it just got ridiculous.

Good liars make it believable, he just took it to a whole new level....and beyond :)

But hey, he said his studio would be ready by June 2011, so I'm guessing you've all seen the photos of his football stadium sized studio filled with his 800 keyboards by now?
