Yes but most synths that I've ever seen have a device ID that you can change, so that you can distinguish multiple identical synths in your environment.
That may be less of an issue these days if one uses a multi-port MIDI interface so there's never more than one device on a midi cable.

I know a request is different from a response but I would have been astonished if the request itself didn't get sent out and it turns out that it does. Why would you expect the request to be the same as the response? I don't see why that must be. An editor will want to be able to get the state of ...

I went back and took a closer look at the sysex that I was capturing and sure enough, the very first sysex message is identical to these examples below. So I took another look at my hardware environment. Turns out I was monitoring the wrong place and even though the messages were being sent out of ...

I have built a replacment for Apple MainStage using Max/MSP to control my rigs. When I switch to a new song, sending a program change isn't sufficient if the Kronos was switched into another mode manually and/or it is in editing mode. So I am hoping to be able to simulate pushing the Exit button ...

Do you know this to be the case or is this just speculation? I don't agree with your arguments for why it must be as you describe. First of all, the only reason to confirm that "I'm in combi mode" is if a request is sent and in such a case I can't imagine why it would be necessary to send a huge ...

I'm trying to figure out how to switch from SetList to Combi to Program (etc) using sysex. I'm using MaxMSP and I captured the sysex that was generated by the Kronos when I pushed the Combi button. I then switched the Kronos back to SetList mode and tried to send the previously captured sysex back ...

Whom at Korg should I contact?

That is an orthogonal issue. I don't doubt that there are/will be 3rd party developers who will continue to create libraries. I'm simply pointing out that Korg could "amplify" that effort for the benefit of everyone. I'm not at all unhappy with what the Kronos can already do --- I am simply ...

Actually, I disagree with this. If a company wants an open-ended product to succeed, one of the very important contributions they can provide is a support environment for developers and even some marketing mechanisms, etc. I'm surprised that companies like Korg don't setup the equivalent of the ...

I don't want Ricky Lawsons drums, or any drums.... And it's the 'more to come' that's of concern. WHEN? After March when my credits expire? Funny: a short while ago, they had more Kronos sound libraries as announcemants on their website: - a Boesendorfer Grand - a strings library - a jazz drums ex ...

Where --- all I have seen is https://www.korg.com/kronosSoundLibraries

Also, the problem is with sooner or later.....apparently 'later' runs out in March!

I caved in and bought a Kronos a few months ago...was partly persuaded by the offer of free sound libraries due to my Oasys. I have $750 in credits but there is barely anything to buy. Even if I bought everything available (and I have no interest in the drum stuff) I would have a lot of credit left ...

Are there sysex messages for doing such things as switching from program mode to combo mode?

My only objection to this approach is that in most cases it is the combination of a bunch of programs making up a combi that I would want to record as a single track and so the only way to do it is to record the combi into an audio track of the DAW, keeping the MIDI data around on another muted ...

Perhaps Dan has been on vacation or my email went into his spam folder (sigh). You need the MIDI exclusive documentation for the Oasys. Since it is not public, you can use another one and try to reverse engineer it yourself. Otherwise you will need to sign an NDA for it and Dan is the right person ...
