I Don't have time to wait. Got gigs in November, and don't have any decent keys to play on!
I borrowed a Montage 6 from a friend, and I'm trying it right now.
It sounds awfull! Very dull and boring. Nothing inspiring. I keep looking for the great sounds. They're not there!
I need mostly realitic sounds. Pianos (very important), organs, strings, brass, saxes and so on.
It seems like there's only two options at the moment. Kronos and Montage. Kronos is unstable and Montage sounds bad, and got bad midi functions (for connecting another keyboard, doing splits, layers and so on).
Do you know any other options?
I listened to Kurzweil demos on their website. I didn't like them!
Please keep it coming. I really don't know what to do!

November is less than 4 weeks away,so learning a new board in 4 weeks is STRESS .
Have you tried the GENOS from yamaha ?
its very fast to learn and sounds Realistic, regarding midi implementation
i dont know why youd need it for LIVE events ?
one board is usually enough.
Stability isnt one of kronos/s strong points Long-Term,
especially when combining multiple features together
although it does have some very nice Bass
& piano sounds for recording purposes.
Im not sure but i think the company took a few shortcuts acording to this programmer/engeineer?
Although his custom procedures might UPGRADE the Kronos to function Much Better.

"Software shenanigans
"I’ll skip the rant about Korg violating the GPL. Suffice it to say, they do it in quite a few places, from undisclosed kernel patches to a shim module that re-exports GPL-only symbols as non-GPL to GPLed userspace apps with patches and no source. They make a token effort to distribute the kernel source and incomplete patches in a DVD shipped with the unit, but I digress.
The kernel boots into a stripped-down Linux distribution (RedHat/Fedora based by the looks of it, but with very little of that identity left), with only minimal userspace and init. It then does some basic init, then eventually starts loading kernel modules and starting userspace daemons..............
Yes, 124-bit, not 128-bit, because they have a bug that eats the last nybble of the original 128-bit keys. The three images and their respective mountpoints are:"...........
