good work and nice films, too!

Did you sequenced that all with the Kronos itself? :)

I scan the sheet music into a program which converts the score into midi notes. I then load that into the KRONOS, assemble and sequence anything needed to complete the song.

So I guess you could say everything is done on the KRONOS to a large degree. Scanning the score takes about 30% of the workload away.

great!

This song uses much / nearly full polyphony or?

Well, and the sound of this machine is good and clear ... that is something I can't bitch about :D - good mixing work, too! OK, bass seems a little bit less at the bottom, or did you made a lowcut ? ... but I'm an electro musician, there basses sometimes are to hard and different style of music, not really comparable ... so only a question!

Yes it does seem so. As you can see in the video towards the end I have the Kronos on the CPU load page. It's clearly peaking the note stealing meter. It's a very busy song. Lots of tracks playing all at the same time. 
bass seems a little bit less
Could be. I didn't master this recording. What your hearing is straight off the Kronos.

Thank you again! It's great that you give practical information ... so I can get a better overview of this machine!

Well, the Kronos is a good sounding machine ...
