Am I crazy? Is it possible to setup the Kronos as an audio device in Pro Tools 12 in order to be able to record audio via USB by setting up the Kronos USB audio out as an input of an audio track? If so, does anyone know how?

I have - Pro Tools 12.2, Kronos 8 w/ 3.0, Windows 7. I'm using an old MBox 2 for now.

I am able to use the USB for MIDI I/O on the Kronos, but can't figure out the audio I/O, if possible.

I truly appreciate any help anyone can offer. Thanks!!

If you want to use the Kronos USB for Audio, you will need to Make the Kronos your Audio device inside Pro-Tools. ASIO does not support "bridging" disparate cards, the driver has to support it. Plus, there actually isn't an ASIO driver for the Kronos, so you'd end up having to use the MME or WASAPI driver (if Pro-Tools even supports that). You might be able to get away with using ASIO4All, but I personally wouldn't even bother. Does the MBox have an SPDIF port? I would send audio in that way from the Kronos.

I wish there was. I just use SPDIF but then I'm locked into 48khz sample rate. Anyone know if there's a way around that, or if I have to use 48khz on all projects that use Kronos?

Dave Pensado made a Pensado's Place wherein he used a VST emulator for plugins. I wonder if the plugin editor would work in that as a VSTi.

edit: Here's the video: How to use VST/AU plugins in Pro Tools - Into The Lair #110 https://youtu.be/B2mcnso_JeA

He mentions using synths with it. I don't know if I'll try it because I have enough analog inputs to re-sample.

The Kronos is locked at 48khz.

For good reason, IME....if we assume 88/96 wasn't on the design possibility table.

If you're using it as an audio interface, yes you will have to run 48.

I use the K with a MacBook for software instruments....but, my Windows DAW runs at the session rate, whatever that may be. Usually 88.2 for my own personal work. But, that's the flaw in doing everything with one machine or trying to maintain a digital network of machines. Ive run two systems for my whole life-one audio recorder/mixer and one synth/sequencer-every time I try to consolidate, I mostly just get headaches or lesser and glitchy sound or both. i don't have the luxury always of choosing the session rates I play on. Nor would I choose a single rate for recording the other 95% of the tracks to accommodate digital keyboard connection.

Long under way of saying....just connect it analog if you're using another rate....and don't make that rate be 44.1 by choice! Smile
