Low volume

Post by Ramsess »

Hello forum, I am a newbie to the Kronos (I) but not to synths.
Was "exploring" it yesterday, and when turning it on today the volume is extremely low. I can hear a low output in the studio monitors, but nothing in using headphones.

I have tried to restart it with the volume controllers at 0 but the volume is still extremely low. Is there a "soft" master volume somewhere?


Any feedback is appreciated :)

Forgive me if this sounds silly, but is the slider labeled “master” just to the left of the screen pushed all the way up?

Hehe, no question is too silly :)
Yes, it is all the way up.

If I could guess, it seems like the volume has re-calibrated itself to whereas 8 is zero and 10 is 2 or something to that effect. That or the amplifier is blown? :shock:

If you have any MIDI devices connected I would try without anything connected to it. I would unplug all pedals too. This fault is a mystery for sure, good luck and keep us posted.

Nope, nothing external is connected, other than power and headphones.

Yes, this is getting very annoying. as I traded this for a perfectly working OP-1 :?
