Yep you need it.

The operation manual tells you quite literally how to operate the Kronos. The parameter guide, surprise surprise, explains all the actual different parameters you encounter on the various editing pages.

Paramater guide tells all!

Korg has some of the best documentation available. Some find it overwhelming since there is so much included. But don't be discouraged, skim over it to get a general idea of how it is organized and then go into the section you are interested in detail.

If you are a new user, start with the 'start guide', then read the operation guide (in time or when you want more to know about a subject).

Only when you encounter problems or want to get into details or when you want to program your own programs/combi or use sampling/sequencer in very detail, check the parameter guide.

For experienced users, they can mostly skip the start guide or even mainly the operation guide, since Korg synthesizers have all kind of the same user interface.

I think this is the best advice. As you work with a particular engine or specific part of the machine, take a look at that section in the parameter guide and you can save yourself a lot of time and headache.
I can't guess how many threads on this forum I personally have been able to answer someones question by pointing to a page in the parameter guide.

Best part, it is a pdf, so if you kind of know what you need, you search for it and it is well organized so that is very easy.

Thank you for the great advice.Starting on a simple foundation and taking in a little bit at a time.getting to know it like the back of your hand and keep working at it tell i have mastered it.Ialso am learning logic pro x at the same time i am trying to learn kronos.I use logic and kronos for back ground backing(jam track) to my main instrument the Native American Flute.I have already made 150 flutes in various keys. this flutes played against the great synth sounds of the Kronos are awesome.

Sounds cool. I also use logic and thing it is a really powerful withe Kronos. I have set up several Logic environments that allow me to really have control of everything, so I think you will find there is plenty to learn and do.

Have you thought about sampling your flutes and making them a Kronos instrument? I think flutes can work really well that way.
