OS 2.0 appreciation

I have been reworking my Kronos setup yesterday to adjust to OS 2.0, and converting earlier downloaded sample libraries to the new Sample User Banks, and using some of the submitted new sample libraries of Sharp, and the recently posted CP80 and Kawai samples.

Wow Korg, you did a splendid job with this feature in OS 2.0!. We're able now using so much more samples with the same memory available.

This Kronos is a dream to work with!

At the very least, it appears to have given a boost to the community to offer user sample banks!

It really improves on an already great keyboard. Many years ago we were all clamouring for a kind of VSTi-like enabled keyboard and none of the main manufacturers went down that route (wisely so!).

Now we have the Kronos doing something similar with a reliable Linux kernel and various softsynths which have little/none of the issues one experiences with a regular computer and softsynths.

The only thing I miss is some sequencer improvementes:

M3 kind (track view mainly + piano roll) + Drum grid page.

For sure will be here soon

I'm not a sampling maniac like some users here, but for these folks, what Korg did with OS2 is staggering!! With a Ram-loaded Kronos, the amount of sampling data you can carry in a hardware synth is amazing.

Unfortunately, like i said, i'm no sampling geek and i won't be able to contribute to the soon gigantic quantity of libraries that will be available to the Kronos, but i'll sure profit from it sometimes.
