I absolutely love my KRONOS88 and I'm using it as my main and only board. Before I allways used 2 different boards (Yamaha S90ES stagepiano and KORG Triton Extreme76). Until now I have managed to get all the sound and performance right out the KRONOS so no need to use another board. All stuff from other sources (like my old S90ES) is sampled and available in my KRONOS. It's great to get all that variety out of one killermachine instead of having a stage full of different hardware. Allthough I sometimes miss a couple of extra keys within one combination. And sometimes a weighted 88key is not so smooth for playing fast leadsolo's.
Now I decided to experiment with an extra board and got myself a novation launchkey61 hooked up to a laptop (mainly with KONTAKT5) wich works great. But it allways takes a lot of effort tot convert all samples into the KRONOS (I use ESC for converting stuff) so I would like to use both.
But now I'm struggeling to get things done. I would like to achieve the following:
1) Hook up the lauchkey61 via USB (launchkey only has a USB connector) to KRONOS so I can play the sounds from KRONOS88 with a lighter keybed (launchkey61), for instance a fast leadsolo. This part works.
2) I would also like to control stuff from my laptop using either KRONOS or the launchkey as a controler, so I thought MIDI through could do the job.
Not confirmed yet. 3) I want to keep KRONOS as my maincontroler during gigs and take advantage of setlist mode.
I've read some other posts and it seems KRONOS doesn't support USB midi through (launchkey --> KRONOS --> laptop).
Does anyone know if incoming midi from USB can be passed through the classic MIDI Thru Din connector ?
It would look like this:
Launchkey --> USBCable --> (USB IN) KRONOS (MIDI Thru) --> classic MIDI cable --> (MIDI2USB) Laptop
