Audio thru usb?

Post by zahush76 »

I think it was discussed before, but couldn't find the thread using the "search" function.
Can the kronos transmit its audio to my daw via the usb connection - instead of using the usuall jacks?

That's great news. I didn't know what i was going to do.
You see, i have the tc electronic "Impact Twin" which has only two stereo inputs (4 jacks).
I have the Polyevolver, and going to get both the Kronos and the moog slim phatty. That's at least 5 inputs.
So basically, if i understand this correctly - i can plug my PEK and Phatty to the soundcard, but the Kronos straight into the computers usb2\3.

What about sound quality? The same? Better? Worse?

Basically it should be better since it's skipping the DAC (which is not bad in the kronos btw) but perhaps it can loose some of it's character sound?... i think. but maybe the Dacs are very transparent and you wont notice a thing.
