Korg Kronos 88 after keybed replacement...!!!

i know that korg cannot "IN PUBLIC" say that there has been some improvement, but... maybe they've fixed it, anyway

Agreed. They won't admit to it, but I'm certain that the issue has been addressed with the release of the X version.

Yep, you would thing so...

When I get it back I will compare directly with my SV-1, both are RH3's.
Despite the fact that the SV-1 key bed is not the best around, at least it works and I don't seem to drop any note so far...

If it is not fixed properly I probably see if I can get my money back or alternatively I get rid of it and get something else...
I don't want to have to carry the keyboard all the time for repairs, it is unacceptable.

Hi there,

Got my Kronos back yesterday, the key bed action has been definitely fixed and no more drop notes. Fast passage, legato, everything work fine. I have adjusted the touch to a "7" and I don't think I will ever fiddle with this again. They have upgraded the O/S to 2.02 as well which is good.
It took 17 days for the keyboard to be fixed. I think they did a good job, I am glad to say it's worth doing, there is a difference afterward (You will hope after all this...).
I checked against my recently acquired SV-1 73. Despite being RH3 they still slightly different, not a bad thing, but now I cannot really complain about anything specific and both suit my playing level very well.



Overall, I am glad I did this before the warranty expires.

Cheers.

I got my fourth Kronos 88 - they again gave up and just gave me a new one. The click is gone and the drop outs are gone. I think this one is finally going to do it. Of course the sounds have kept me holding on all this time and it seems like it will pay off.
