I don't use it much because: - it's not so much different from the userinterface of the keyboard, you allmost exchange only your finger tip with the mouse - it's too small in size on the computer monitor - it's not integrating smooth in my 64 bit studio environment - it's no audio channel in my DAW ...

Depends much on your mix. Examples: - more punch could be achieved with a compressor, - more balance in the sound spectrum with an EQ as sayed before - it's very subjective and it depends on the style of your music. Your "drum track" may be a "classic drum set" but also an "electronic beat machine ...

I like this kind of music very much.

May I ask a question - but don't take it wrong please. Was the song inspired by the style of Mike Oldfield?

I have to go with "I use them no problem" without a doubt. KORG manuals are some of the best written manuals I've read. My daughters MP3 player on the other hand, that one reads like a manual for a tractor, or some other non MP3 related item. :lol: Regards Sharp. Yes, the documentation is VERY good ...

On the first day I followed the factory set list, checked out each of the sounds, tried the Karma and Drum button and was jamming. I can't exactly remember how long it took but it was like traveling in a time machine bubble where outside time was much faster. Then I checked lots of the combis and ...

I got the unit and after about 5 minutes reading the little 4 page sheet that came in the box and playing with the thing about 15 more minutes, sequencer solved! So, 5-7 hours of effort before I got the unit arrive and I was confused, 20 minutes after it arrive I had a fundamental understanding of ...

And while his videos are great, I have to wear my reading glasses as his font choice is to match the pitch of the Kronos.

But it's worth it.

Yes, that is true - I also learned much from QR's videos - way faster than with the paperware. Go and see yourself

I'm not worried about sounds but complexity of the instrument. I have never ever owned a synth or workstation! I want a kronos but I also don't want to be in way over my head. The reading of the manual is t horrible but there is a lot in there I dont understand. I think it will make more sense once ...

it's a good idea, but it has been tried before, see: http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=73566 Thank's - got it - never realised this thread. The subject title did not draw my attention. Seems that "Sleeping Beauty" went to sleep since summer. Time to kiss her? :wink:

You should take some time to dig into the Kronos though, so if you like tweaking on your intuition with fysical knobs, you might end up regretting buying it. There is a compromise with the physical knobs. You can redefine knobs and sliders and set them to change various synthesizer parameters. It's ...

Look, to be honest I am probably as pissed as you are over this editor...I bought this K with the PC editor as one of the main considerations as the screen fonts are so small and I have "the old age fuzzys" meaning I need glasses fro reading any text within 1-2 feet, and the fonts on the K for ...

One nice reference for classical, but still often used sounds is the "synth heroes" presets series for the Arturia Origin: http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/downloads/presets.html It covers various styles from Joe Zawinul and Pink Floyd over Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode up to Lady Gaga. Same for ...

That is looking really promising QR, please let me know as soon as you have it ready :) I don't mind some of the other stuff by the way :) And I even am trying to "re-invent" some tunes with the other genres available, so a mix is fine...just so I can get SOME of the particular genres I am after ...

The hard part from these combis is that they have to behave like a band that follows whatever you play. That's quite a different setup of combis than the standard ones. For instance in this demo you see me playing chords likes: Major 7ths, 9, ditones, tritones, and much more. Every chord is ...

@miden, just out of interest, is this combi something you like, or are you searching for a more traditional type of jazz? <iframe width="300" height="169" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/I76v6UPRt6o" frameborder="0"></iframe> That's what inspires me on the spot - from the first tune of your video ...
