I was surprised seing the results of this poll: I thought everyone is using software sequencers these days for any serious sequencing.

Even for just recording multitrack ideas, the present Kronos sequencer could/should be better (piano roll etc.). Nobody should expect it to be something remotely as powerful as big software sequencers: that's just wishful thinking, not realistic before 2 or 3 workstation generations ahead. But there is a lot of space left for improvement within the present purpose limits.

Anyway, I am just as happy about the priority list, with OS2 before any other possible improvements, as anyone of you should probably be for the moment. Getting such a huge update is nothing to be forgotten within some days, just to ask for the next major improvements, while the R&D team has just release a new entry level keyboard with editor.

Presonus Studio One 2 Pro. A totally awesome workflow / environment. I have been thru them all from TotalMusic thru ProTools. Studio One hits everything.

I've recorded approximately 60 songs with the built in sequencer on the Kronos.

I typically use Cubase 5 for the past few years as the only way to record
multi track songs. But the Kronos built in recorder is too easy to use when inspired. It used to take a very long time to setup a computer and the software for recording music. By the time Cubase inputs and outputs were configured and things were ready to record, the inspiration would fade.

The Kronos recording abilities are enough to record most material,
LED ramps for the volumes of the tracks would be immensely useful.
And some way to see what note is being edited for mistakes! ie: piano roll

But for the most part the Kronos sequencer is very useful.
I've read about the new Korg and watched the videos of the sequencer.

Korg should really benefit the owners of the Kronos by updating the sequencer to at least function as nicely as the other Korg keyboard(s).

It would be hard to believe that Korg has finished with the Kronos and development. I would assume Korg realizes that current owners will not be back for another Korg if the Kronos is left as it is today with OS 2.2
and the almost finished built in sequencer. All Kronos owners are
patiently waiting for the next upgrade release in hope of some basic improvements, and especially for the built in sequencer that is just a tad shy of completed.

I've owned Synths since 1986, and the Korg Kronos is clearly the best keyboard workstation ever made (in my opinion).

I wrote some of the early music industry software (first programmer for Band-in-a-Box for Windows) and I know how hard it is to produce quality music programs with the right features.

I think the initial POLL is a bit vague. Sequencing Live? Or acting as a DAW?

Great possibility for sequencing live.
Not a chance to replace a DAW for sequencing.

Akai MPC Renaissance...or any available MPC I have at the time.

Kronos sequencer is pretty limiting...and not fun to use...especially when I have to squint to use it.

Please....release a decent Kronos plugin Editor. I haven't used the first one since they day I downloaded it.

This is probably going to be a really stupid question, but please bear with me - I am a beginner. I will be getting the Kronos soon, and while I will surely want to spend some time with the hardware sequencer, I'd definitely want to rather use it with my DAW instead, if possible. Since I've seen in this topic that some people indeed do this, I wanted to ask, how exactly? What cables do you need and such?

I am buying the Korg mainly because my sound card is rather horrible, and I am lacking any hardware whatsoever, so this workstation seemed like the perfect choice. For this reason, it would be quite useless to just use the Kronos as a MIDI controller with my DAW, which is probably about the only thing I would know how to do. Is there a way to make the sounds on Kronos, but sequence them, and later edit them on PC instead?

i don't know why, but i was never able to make a whole song using kronos' sequencer.. I'll stick with the sequencer on my yamaha PSR S910, although the sound is better on kronos..
