Kronos Tips & Tricks: 04 Change dry sounds with external

[runningman67]

Apologies. This is the Blofeld and the Eventide Space but it's in keeping with this thread.

The Eventide Space is an amazing little effects box.
I've put the Kronos through it and the possibilities are frightening.
It makes the Kronos into an even bigger monster and at the moment I am trying to tame her. Finding it hard to make a start because each time I hook them up together I get a new idea.

Worth considering if you want to take atmosphere and ambient on your 'K' to a new level.

Here's a new tips and tricks video.
This time a small demonstration how you can modify kronos sounds with external effects. The Kronos dry sounds can be a great sound source when you route them to external effect machines that have different kind of effects that aren't in the kronos. By applying other type of effects your familiar sounds can sound rather different.

This tips and tricks video shows some examples of what you can do with the dry kronos sounds when you route them through an external effect. In the examples here i use an Eventide H9 Max guitar pedal (which also can be used for synth sounds of course).

There i have access to 44 different algorithms, in this video i show a few of the like the Shimmer algorithm (which add harmonic tones in a reverb hall). a resonator effect, a chorus type of effect and a huge hall through the blackhole algorithm.

First you hear the dry sounds, then the same sound with the effect set to active, then the dry sound again.

The eventide h9 max is activated through a blue tooth connection with the h9 control app on the ipad. When its activated you will see a light turned on at the left bottom of the effect hardware box.

Now for the video i use the H9 Max, but you can do the same with any effect, or when you route the sound to a DAW (sequencer) you can use any of the DAW effects to modify the sounds. It's a fun thing to experiment with your existing sounds and use other type of effects.

Hello Qui,

A great demo as always!! And the effect unit seems phenomenal. I have a question. What cables did you use to connect the pedal to the Kronos? Balanced TRS as suggested in the Kronos manual or unbalance TS? I tried to use a BOSS RV6 with my Kronos in the past and the TRS cable did not work. The TS cable did though but introduced some noise.

Thanks in advance
