It's such a fun and great instrument, that anyone holding on their purchase because of the remote chance of getting a defective keybed is making a bad jugement call.

That's IMOH, of course.

You don't know what you're missing.

Specially now that the problem has been cured and that new machines built do not risk being affected.

I decided to not read more of this thread after all the opinions
that were right.
And the history off those opinions speak truths of the writers.

So, we're all correct in our assumptions of the instrument and the intent it was delivered.

It is great. Given the hands that wield it.
Any gift of such magnitude is.

You all are going to write and create whether it's a Kronos or a 5 dollar guitar with a couple of missing strings and 2 drumsticks and the environment.

I like the Kronos, the guitar, the drum, and the environment.

All I can say is my K73 worked fine once again in a rehearsal last night as it always had. Sorry for anyone who has had problems with theirs.

It has as many issues as an eccentric super-model.
It also looks, feels and performs like one.

Kind Regards,

i don't know what you are arguing about, but back on topic, i think kronos do weather the storm (i don't know what weathering the storm mean, but i think the meaning is "is kronos do magnificent / really good??")

No other workstation / synth has a capability near this beast. It's like having a stage piano, a rhodes, a dx7, 3 analog synth, a hammond, a string modeller, and a rompler all under 1 roof... and also, i think it's the most expandable synth available on the market today.. The library is so extensive that it would take multiple gigabytes of pcm samples... Compared to rompler which has less than 1 gigs for sure..
Kronos piano itself took 4 gigabytes of the disk... You can imagine how superb their fidelity and quality... and not to mention UNLOOPED SAMPLES... first on a workstation (and maybe first on the keyboard world (not included computer software))... I have some experience with roland RD series.. and although the sound of the piano is pristine, the fake envelope of it also sounds pristine Very Happy

... Also, kronos will help me gigging a lot with it's setlist feature.. something that most workstation lack (it's about choosing your setup randomly, not in order.. some kind like registration memory).. and another one, i'm not the kind of "DAW's" big fan.. I like to have all my sound all at 1 or 2 keyboards.. I don't like to bring a laptop over to a gig.. And who knows maybe your laptops could crash and all the sudden you have no sounds at all?? with kronos, i'm not saying that it cannot crash, but there is far less chance that it will crash than a computer..

Sure maybe there is ups and lows on the kronos, but hey, does every workstations in this world has ups and downs too?? and for those who don't suit better with kronos, simply look for another one.. Kronos is not designed to suit everyone, everybody has his own taste of sounds... And for those who says that kronos is "not good", well think again... If it's really "not good", how come a great musicians (jordan rudess to name a few) used them as their main rig??

For issues that happened (rh3 bug, data wheel, etc), korg didn't just leave those problem exist.. they work hard and create a solution that fixes it all..

again, it's all my own opinion, no offense...

Do you ever feel when you saw kronos, that it's the right keyboard for you?? well i do feel it... hahaha Very Happy

No storm here; just enjoying my 61. It isn't a matter of needing it, but rather, a matter of wanting it. Delineating needs from wants is a difficult challenge, and enigma for most. No doubt, this board is a winner. Smile

Sorry that I keep on reiterating that I've so far had no problems with mine. I guess I just don't understand the arguing. My Kronos does everything I expect of it. No more and no less. I was never expecting it to be the "be all and end all" of keyboards. It's only a matter of time when some company makes it look like a pathetic little toy. What with the state of development when it comes to electronics these days I can see keyboards that automatically adjust weight depending on the program you are running. Variable response curves, say. 20 synth engines, a lot more effects. The list is endless. It's only a matter of time so be thankful for what you have now and enjoy the music you can make.
