After discovering Gospel musicians Neo soul, MK sensation, and Pianos, I have came to the conclusion that this synthesizer is better for Gospel musicians... I have been trying to convert sounds over to my Kronos for months now and hasn't been successful... The Kronos pianos doesn't have enough girth for shouting music, drives, or any genre of music that needs the piano to cut through a band... Thanks for all you guys help but I'm happier with Yamaha The piano that comes with Gospel musician...

I certainly prefer the K and I don't have problems with the piano "cutting through the band", but it's true that Yamaha is by far the market leader in the gospel segment. Good luck with your new board, I hope it brings you what you're looking for!

Just for the record Jamal (who owns Gospel Musicians) loves the Kronos and did several youtube videos praising the KRonos and its sounds.

ITs all a matter of personal opinion, of course, but I far prefer everything about Korg and the KRonos over whatever Yamaha and ROland have.

I used to use a Motif until the Triton Extreme came out and I've stuck with Korg since then. I've seen more Kronos' than Motif's lately in churches and in concerts. I think the Kronos has started to shift the gospel trend from Yamaha to Korg.

Every once in a while I check out the latest MOtif or Fantom in the store, but I still prefer Korg.

Just bottom line is use whatever you like.

Dude, I also have the MkSensation and can tell you if you can get the EP at Kronos, either by sampling or through the MOD 7 DX patch.
Of course you have to work a little, but you will achieve not only match it but to improve.
One of my passions is the sound design and can tell you that in the Kronos not only will have a similar, but even better sound.

So it just depends on you.
These weeks I am with a lot of work, but if you want, I can send in mid-October a sample EP MkSensation style.

Best regards!

First of all: I LOVE My Kronos, BUT - the Kronos isn't for everyone and that's ok. The learning curve is quite steep, especially if you've never worked with Korg workstations before. I've only owned one Yamaha keyboard in the past, the S08, and that had great sounds but serious problems with the keybed. Yamaha finally came out with a fix for it about a year after I had trashed it. I still have a Roland Ax-Synth which I bring out from time to time and that does have some nice sounds on it, but I keep thinking about selling it to get a midi keytar and just use the Kronos for all the sound.

Anyhow, a few people have jumped ship from the Kronos to other manufacturers. Some have had some hardware issues that they weren't able to resolve. Some wanted instant gratification on creating patches and found the instrument to be overwhelming in that respect. Some really wanted an arranger keyboard but got talked into a Kronos.

It's hard to imagine someone thinking the sound is of better quality on another digital instrument though. I agree that you should keep both keyboards for a bit to compare and I think you'll find the Kronos outshines the Motif.

I'm just a Korg guy. Whenever I'm in a music store with my wife and I paly another keyboard she inevitably says, "It just doesn't sound like a Korg".

That's not saying that whe doesn't like it, but it just dosen't have that certain something that my Kronos has.

I will also admit that she didn't say this when I played a real Hammond B3 through a Leslie.

Who was better, Hendrix or Clapton? What tastes better, Coke or Pepsi?
Does analog sound better than digital? Does virtual analog sound better
than "real" analog?

These discussions always end in a draw, in my experience. There is no
"better" between any of the comparisons.
