no, not on it's own.
with a arranger software like 1manband/varranger), Yes.

Karma allows you to come close to arranger experience with the different scenes but Kronos is not an arranger. There are other keyboards that are better than Kronos in this field as Kronos is a synthesizer workstation. So, don't buy a Kronos if you are looking for an arranger. :wink:

I dont think Karma even deserves it to be compared to an arranger...

You have arrangers, you have arpeggiators and you have Karma..

Karma is neither of the other two..


As said, if you want to make an arranger from your Kronos, you will need Varranger, high quallity PC arranger software, that plays Yamaha, Korg, Ketron and Roland styles....

Another but more expensive option is combining Kronos with an arranger module, like the Ketron SD40, which gives you the best of both worlds...




My first Kronos i bought and i really tought i could turn Karma into an arranger... i got desillusioned and sold the Kronos after a few months, because all i did was trying to use it as an arranger instead of treating it as the creative beaty it actually is... took me a year to realise this after selling it, and i bought another one and we are happily ever after...
