2 USB MIDI IN's!

Post by keego »

Just thought I would share this. I have connected both my Kurzweil's to my KRONOS via USB.
They both work at the same time. So for example I can now have a lead sound playing on the KRONOS, a Piano or pad sound on one Kurzweil and another sound on the other Kurz all using the Kronos engine.
So no need for a MIDI interface :P

Does the Kurzweil also has USB for MIDI or are ther USB<->MIDI cables (like the generic ones for use for a computer)?

Sorry, but can I just skip sideways, as I see you use an A90-ex. Can I ask if you've ever had problems with it, like sticking keys, etc.? I bought my Kronos partly to replace the A90 as my main gigging keyboard, because the Roland sometimes starts rapidly cycling through all its sounds - typically if I'm in chain mode.

I love the idea of linking keyboards with USB.

Never had a problem with my A90. I use only at rehearshal and gigs so it is left at the rearshal room due to it's size and weight. The Kurzweil have USB midi but only as controller using standard A-B USB leads.
