Kronos vs Oasys

Post by kurzman »

I have a Kronos61 X on order and I was wondering if the Kronos can play any or all of the Oasys sounds?

Yep, you can just load the Oasys PCGs.

I traded my Oasys for a Kronos and NEVER heard any difference in the sound quality. Many forums dedicate attention to the difference, but in my opinon there is none. I could easily tranfer all my combis and programs from the Oasys to the Kronos.

I DO miss the solidity of the hardware (keybed, size of the screen, leds with the slides and the better dial button) though.

But I don't miss the weight of the Oasys (that's a killer).

And I love the SST and possibility to make your own user-KSCs on the Kronos.

So for me no Oasys anymore.

Its not the sound quality that you need to worry about its the build quality because it not anywhere near as good as the Oasys :(

And doesn't weigh nearly as much...
