To boot the M3, it takes about 2 1/2 minutes to boot, load the ROM, load the EXs, and then I have to load my own sample data, which takes another 2 minutes. Just being able to walk away while it boots and loads everything for me is a HUGE improvement. Condsidering it's loadinga bout 4 times that much data in half the time... still huge. color me satisfied.

so by my calculations (although math is not my strong point!), it's the same answer!

This thread is hilarious. Some of you might want to consider working for Korg with all the knowledge you bring to the table on how fast the Kronos should or shouldn't boot up. Razz

I have Kronos connected to my iMac.

"About this Mac" gives the following details regarding Kronos:

... yeah that's it Smile

... In a rush grabbed memory allocated for PCM as on Kronos specs sheet. I never thought about loading times before doing laptop upgrade - the difference was pretty obvious so I just paid attention to this in a context.

Are you for real Jahrome???

You're the first guy on the planet to own a Kronos, and in just two days, there is a hardware problem....sheesh. I thought that shuttle wheel looked flimsy from the photos.

I hope this isnt the begining of bad things to come. I dont like to be pesimistic...but its the first unit and already there is an issue

It's data wheel is not robust.

i am afraid this is common now , the newer things get the more crap the build quality unless its a small company with some high build quality angle

I thought the same about the roland vsynth gt and the way roland have gone , even motifs look and feel tackier by the week .Cant these companies source good parts ?Why are they fixated on thin cheap shite plastic encoders and dials and very cheap nasty looking screens now ?

Akai did the same with all their samplers , each one was cheaper and less workable.

I think the current quality of build of many synths is appalling given the depth of their menus.

Why would you use such cheap parts when a good encoder wheel costs like £2 maybe at most per unit = a synth thats £2000 + .

Build quality is not good on most new synths i feel when you look at the build quality of older synths , its night and day now.

What a pointless thing to do when you design such deep and powerfull devices - wrap them in a load of shite recycled plastic from taiwan and the most import thing ? the main encoder wheel - yeah make that the cheapest you can.

are these companies run by w.....kers or something ?

We must accept quality and build issues and design has slowly been going down on many synths , this and a rather lurid and almost vegas like design ethic ( vsynth gt ? ) has resulted in some really nasty looking machines and they always have this cheap thin and tacky looking encoder wheel now.

I think the design teams are on probably to blame wanting this thin and futuristic looking designs that they just dont make well or thick enough.

Look at the encoders on some old analogues , whats up with using good ones ? heavy duty ?

Sorry but this is one thing that really bugs me as its not right to pay so much for something thats badly designed and built .I didnt buy the roland vsynth gt on the basis that when i tried to use it in the shop it was like using a toy , terrible quality and feel .If the synth were £500 no problem but for £2000 + you dont expect these cheap and nasty parts to be used .

the problem is you: you are mishandling it. Not talking

You have fat fingers. Shame on you

Try holding it with your fingernails.

Try not cutting your fingernails Anxious

Instead of complaining, you should be thankful: a hammond b3 wouldn't even had a joystick, and it would weigh a ton. :-&

in 1941, only alternative was a fiddle Boo hoo!

Roland joysticks are even worse. Shhh

Did I forget anything? Rolling Eyes

Am I ready for becoming a hoover salesman?... oh, sorry, I meant "a kronos endorser"?
