Hey,

I'm new here and totally new to synth and workstation ~ pretty clueless. I'm finding that there are an awful lot of terms and abreviations I know nothing about and I have several really basic questions but would like to put them somewhere appropriate.

Thanks! Cool

If you have Kronos specific questions the Kronos forum is the place to ask. You can also learn a lot about everything related over here ...

It is also very helpful to read the manual... several times.

Sounds Good

So very true!

I had owned several Korg workstations; the M1 and a TR61, so I had been quite familiar with Korg's way of doing things. As soon as I had the bug to get a Kronos, I downloaded the manuals and studied them. I visualized how to do what I wanted to do before I even had the keyboard. And by reading the manual I had a lot of new ideas what I could do with this machine. This was months before I had enough money in the bank to comfortably purchase a Kronos. I still consult the parameter guide quite often. Cool

So hey, I hope this is a reply~ setup is kind of odd looking (moderators feel free to lemme know if it's not Shocked ) ... yes- blond.

Anyway, thanks for replying. You've stated the obvious- the manual and the kronos board. I don't actually find the manual very helpful. It doesn't really explain anything for the True beginner. I've been fumbling around and continuing to watch the DVD that came with it, hoping each time that I'll catch something I missed the time before.

I guess I can visit the Kronos forum. I was just hoping there was something really, really basic out there. Makes me kind of wish I'd gone ahead and gotten the Yamaha motiffxf thru sweetwater and been able to take advantage of 24 hour support by phone!

ah well, baby steps.

I have a Yamaha Motif... and it's even more confusing! My Korg M3 is much easier to work with. Believe me, you made the right choice. Just hang in there, post questions in the Kronos section and keep studying the manual.

It will all make sense! Very Happy
