1) When in program/combi mode, select the "bank/program select" screen (you know, where you have the list of categories for different genres)

2) Select some program (but don't press "ok"), now play and hold some notes on the keyboard.

3) Select another program, whilst holding down the keys.

Viola! the sound dosen't stop and you can continue to play the new program, without losing the previously selected on.

Kronos is advertising this as something "new" when its in fact 6 year old technology.

Fact!
Kronos, eat lead and die!

But it's not applicable to a realtime live situation, going arbitrarily between prog-combi-seq modes, and doesn't pertain to ALL FX of both programs/combis included, right? Then it's not SST.

Hehe - that was a good one Heede!

So? What does it matter?
You only have 10 fingers anyway.
Effects are for people that can't program the base sounds properly anyway, so they use effects to cover up their flaws.
And you don't need to switch from combi's to programs, theres no added benefit, its all just hype.

Look, just do what I've said in 3 easy steps and you'll be fine in whatever live situation

Not true and slightly hypocritic. Retaining all FX when switching between combis is VERY important for me, and I'm using FX as a part of the sound instead of what you're alluding to. I know my sound synthesis well, thank you.

You don't know what I might need depending on what I want to do, so don't tell me what I do or don't need to switch. Now, I know you're irritated at Korg for what they've done, but just admit that Kronos has a better way of handling things like changing combis live along with retaining all of their FX, because that's a fact. Also a reason why I'll get a Kronos, and not OASYS. The difference in weight is also nothing to sneeze at, for a live performer.

he! he! he! nice try!

EvilDragon, I was using a little dry humour there. Not to take my post so seriously

Consider it 1/10th an Ozy post.....

It was VERY dry.

Like a good James Bond Martini?

Or so they say. Wouldn't know

FWIW:

In fact, with the OASYS its indeed possible to change sounds w/o interruption using karma and its switches, for that only porpose.

Use the search engine.
Its been explained here a zillion times.

Ooops - I must have overlooked it ...
Of course, you're right! In this case it's possible. Cool!

but its also possible as I explained in my first post, you CAN really change between programs without interruptions in just 3 easy steps!

I'm terribly sorry, but that Kronos will most certainly have to eat lead and die

that´s right, but you´re limited within one combie when using it if I remember correctly?

though it is a nice feature you can still play live without it or?

Playing live witthout it? Now that's a silly thought
Just what kind of a lunatic would want do that?

kiddin' ya, of course

It is a "within one COMBI" thing, but as COMBI can have up to 16 sounds inside, that's more then enough in 99% of possible live situations.

BTW, I still make people's head spin while doing that. They can't really get it, a couple of guys over the years have been "looking all around my setup" to try and find a computer, or any additional modules, or something that would make this possible Funny But I can't imagine playing live without this, ever again. It makes all of the keyboardist's wildest dreams come true - it's the single most important feature for playing live. Everything else is kind-of secondary to it. Although, the good old O kicks ass sound-wise as well
