Hi Davy.
What Korg Uk told you about what happened to the motherboard, exactly?

I´m waiting a solution, too.

Hi. I have pink contacts on my Kronos. It has serialnumber 4400. I have now used it for about 4 months and it works great. Should i expect trouble with the keybed in the future? Gettin' nervous when I see all the complaints. I' m using it a lot live and need it to be reliable! Hi sl72 Well, this is ...

The Korg distrubutor confirms they´ve calibrated and tested the last unit they offered me.

This last one have a faulty keybed behaviour, once more.

Congrats Saxifraga.

I´m still unable to get a properly working Kronos, after four unit exchages and six months since its purchase; and this forum shows I´m not the only one in this situation.

Hi Joe. This is something I reported here in this forums myself, too. I returned the second Kronos 73 unit my Korg distrubutor gave me, serial nº 2.973 because of this problem. The support service center changed the pink contacts in every key for the blue ones to fix the cut off issue in this unit, ...

I'm very disappointed with the 88 action as well. I played a Kronos 88X for the first time 2 days ago in the music store and was blown away by the pianos! But the action is so stiff! I feel the key weight is too heavy. If only the action was adjustable. Can I adjust the weight level somehow if I ...

Is it just me or were there not so many failure at gig stories for OASYS?

Well spotted.
According to this forums alone, you are right on this one.

Thanx Ojustaboo.

Official words into Korg US website KRONOS System Version 2.0.5 November, 7, 2012 Korg has identified a problem with KRONOS system version 2.0.5, in which the HD-1's Amp LFO1/2 AMS Intensity values were incorrectly ignored at note-on. We are already testing a fix for this problem, and expect to ...

if you have physically been around 3 different Kronos 61's and the fan noise really irritates you, don't buy it. Thats my advice as well. FWIW I had three Kronos 73, replaced one after another because of their faulty keybed. They all had an equivalent fan noise, which IMHO makes the Kronos louder ...

I would not be surprised the lightest if Yamaha comes up with a Motif series replacement soon this forthcoming year, as its been disscused recently.
