A Kronos may be getting thrown out of my window soon!

Honestly I get WAY more use out of Polysix than I should for such a limited engine (compared to AL1). I think it's my favorite engine.

You get 32 by the way, 2 per program

I agree with difficulties of programming Kronos.
It's a deep beast, engines are very complex,
but I think that the flow to build a sound should be more linear.
Expecially on modulations.

I have a Waldorf blofeld, that as VA is quite more deep than AL-1,
but, with only 6 knobs and a little non touch screen,
I find it far much simpler to program.
I achieved 100% of blofeld knowledge in few days
because of the extremely linear and rational flow,
but I am not even near with AL-1, after months on Kronos !

But I suggest to don't give up..

I don't see how that's possible as the actual screen organization of AL1 is quite logical. There are a lot of parameters but a majority of them are common synth parameters. Having four LFOs is not really more complex conceptually speaking than having one. Where is it going wrong for you?

STR1 and MOD7 are the ones that throw me, as I've never done much with FM and STR1 is unique. Even for MS20 I tend to have a few "eh?" moments.
