If you play your arpeggios by hand, and too fast, you get flashed by the inbuilt radar camera.

So the answer is no?!
Good, I feared the LED is blinking in different colors which would have been really annoying.

And thanks for the punch on the nose, guys! I can take a fair bit.

Wasn't meant as punch, just for relaxing ...

Does the Kronos fall under this classification?

Perhaps only on custom order.

The plugin belongs to the specifications of the Kronos.
What's going on here?

Any clarification, perhaps from Dan or Rich?

We're continuing development of our PC/Mac editor software, which will be released as a free download. In the meantime, Kronos already works with your DAW of choice, using either the USB port for MIDI and audio connectivity, or traditional MIDI, analog audio, and S/PDIF connections.

Hope this helps,
-Rich

Was going to say, even in the brochure, as the back, it DOES state that the plugin editor software will be available as a download....

I have used and played workstations from Korg, Yamaha, Kurzweil, and Roland, and most of their parts are very similar in quality.

I disagree. In terms of parts quality, Yamaha = Roland > Korg > Kurzweil. I've owned a bunch of keys and modules from each of them, except Kurz. I've owned a K2000S and a PC1X, both of which failed within 6 months. I'm done with Kurz.

Oh holy crap, no way. Roland absolutely is the worst of the bunch. I've bought more Korg keyboards than Roland keyboards yet EVERY Roland keyboard or controller I've ever bought has been a miserable piece of fail. My Korgs have all been extremely reliable and solid as long as American Musical Supply didn't touch it first.

Build-wise....I have to go with my Fantom G over Kronos.
