as far as I know, from the demos, they say that it works when you switch to either modes, program to combi, combi to program, program to sequence (?) and so on

kurzweil has had that feature over 20 years,nothing new, comes in very handy in live situations though, good to have. Smile

Except that in cases when you have full FX used on Kurzweil, you will hear an audible change of effects, while on Kronos you won't. Also, if you switch from/to a KB3 program on a Kurzweil, there will be an audible gap.

On Korg, it's all smooth, doesn't matter the number of FX or the engine you're using

I suppose if you can still hear the 'old' notes, they use some voices.
But i honestly don't think the polyphony is a problem in the Kronos.

Perhaps this is the only use of the 2nd core on the Atom? Rolling Eyes

Would be interesting to know how they do it. It was always considered that however they do it, it would be wastedful because you have to have twice as many effects processing resources just for that handful of seconds when you still have both sounds running.

Anyway whatever it is, it does mean that there could have potentially been more effects slots if they hadn't added this feature. I'm undecided as to which is more important to me. It still seems wasteful for a whole 2nd set of resources to effectively be on stand-by just for that 2 seconds or so.

But then as polyphony is tied in some way with the effects usage, perhaps it is more flexible than a fixed architecture, and you lose polyphony when you effectively have 32FX running in parallel for a moment rather than 16.

I think this can be achieved by the large RAM and SSD. It's like taking a sample from the sustained sound and sustain that (looped?) sample

When a voice continues after selecting a new patch, it really continues... not just a looped sample. Arpegiation, LFO, Filter, and all.
