Korg Forums

Now I don't know how much RAM Kross has, neither do I know how large the OS is. But these are a few changes I'd like to see implemented:

1. Numerical keypad. This is really a MUST HAVE when scrolling through the arpeggio patterns and waveforms. Hold FUNC and MENU and press:

Step 1 - 10 for 0 - 9.
Step 11: +10
Step 12: -10
Step 13: +50
Step 14: -50
Step 15: +100
Step 16: -100
Inc: +1 integer
Dec: -1 integer

2. Shortcuts in sequencer.

Press favorite to activate the step buttons to hold specific sequencer commands.

Hold FUNC to access anothe set of commands. Copy, paste, or what ever needed.

3. Init, mutate and randomize programs.

New items to be available under the function menu to give more variation.

I'm sure others have similar ideas, so let's bring up a topic on how to improve Kross OS.

The only thing I would really like to see is the ability to assign the favourites buttons to tracks in a sequence or combi, so you could mute a track/program within the combi/midi sequence.

There are work arounds to acheive something similar, but it would be simpler if you could just use the favourite buttons.

I want PATCH REMAIN function!

if juno di was able to do it via sofware upgrade, why cant the kross?

Juno Di can't... effects do not remain and it changes the sound a lot !
No synth below 1500€ provides this function.
Only Yamaha MX can do the job with a different and very simple approach (the 16 favorites buttons are related to different MIDI channels)

Kross has a very primitive and obsolete sound engine, which comes from old keyboard.

Don't expect a firmware update or upgrade for it, its price continue to decrease a lot in europe (-50€, sometime more) which says the product will be discontinued and replaced by a new budget toy in the following months.
For comparison price of the krome has never move !
