Hi.

How many time is the kronos startup..??

I have a M3... and between the OS and expansion (i have the 256mb memory expansion) its about +70 seconds.

If off the m3 in the middle of a song... ist a complete disaster..!!
The re-start its too slow...

I going for a kronos 61.. and i like to know this ...!! the start time (with all expansions)

Thanks.

does anyone know the actual power draw for the kronos?

A small UPS could do wonders - I've dealt with so much cruddy power from cruddy clubs.

Apparently loading the factory sounds require something like 40s, so with the OS it might be close to 50 or 55 seconds I guess.

The power consumption is 60 Watts... So a small UPS will do the job perfectly!

The M3 start on time : 1 minute 58 seconds.... Just almost 2 minutes...!! too much.

Anybody knows how many time is the kronos start??

i never turn off my m3 in a middle of a show or song..... but sometimes in the stage, accidents happens.

and 2 minutes for re-start its too much..!!

Load an UPS...??? anything else more??

case, cables, footswitch, pedals, stand, bench, memory,......
I carry on my keyboard for myself..! and one thing more its not just this...¡¡its a lot ..!!

Thanks

Not trying to be off-topic.. what UPS's are mostly used on stage to support your keyboard rig?
I fear a brown out, or black out, that will reset my M3. The reboot time would be aweful mid performance. Even my Virus has about a 10 second boot time. My other keys boot within seconds. And now to add the Kronos with a long boot time.

Sometimes yes... sometimes not. (the audio company put UPS)

but sometime (with murphy law) the power cord have a little movement into the ups or the electrical conections... and ZAZ...

Disaster happens...!! the keyboard turn OFF maybe.. 1 sec or less...

The rest of the key its wonderful..!!

and i like ( the specifications and demo sounds and videos) the korg kronos..!!

I hope better perfomance in the start time.

It will be under a minute. But it will also depend on the amount of stuff you want to preload.

I always use a UPS on stage now... I have a small one installed in my rack flight case that runs my 2 keyboards. I've not had a mishap since and it means the load-up times are now much less relevent for me. I'd definitly recommend using one, especially when you're playing in a marquee!
