thanks jim,

i realise that the level of functionality of vst editors varies from a simple librarian to full on control of the synth itself... and after an eye opening experience with the Virus, my requirements are now more trending to the latter than the former....so without knowing the full details of the editors capability (and clearly being unable to test it without a K) I was hoping to see glowing whoops from users Sad

With the fantom i typically laid all tracks down as midi, preserving the ability to tweak patches for as long as possible before printing to audio so to your points, i actually are less bothered by the multi-outs/usb-audio part of it as i could easily record via spdif(2) or balanced inputs (4)..or better..justify an even bigger audio interface...lol

The word 'automation' leapt out ans spilled the coffee tho...lol ..its something i have been using at an increasing rate... both envelope generation of multiple parameters and recording thereof..

Not that there was any chance of it being read, but my post was for the decision makers who believe that in todays market a synth is finished when you can power it on and make sounds... so I shall continue to wait and see how this develops.. the combination of Fantom G, Nova, S70xs, Virus and Komplete keeps me more than occupied Smile

I noticed a weird thing last night.

if I start the editor, load the saved PCG (which is the same as the factory one on my Kronos) and click on the Prog tab.

then I click on the Banks tab

If I select a random sound, say "Int A-112 Synth Lead memories" and double click on it

Then I click on the Banks tab again

Then I select say "Int-A 54 CX-3 Organ 888 SW1" but only single click on it so that the Banks window is still up

If I press the SW1 switch on my Kronos, it changes the editor and hence the Kronos to the previously selected Int A-112 Synth Lead memories" patch

It's weird as it's not repeatable every time, but quite often if I press a switch or move sliders on the actual Kronos when demoing sounds from the Banks tab on the editor, the program does change

This is normal operation for the editor.A single click sends the program to the instrument to "audition" the sound. The assumption is you are not going to edit the data. Attempting to edit data will bring back the sound in the edit buffer. Double clicking sends the program to the instrument and puts it in the edit buffer for further editing.

Ah OK, thought it was something like that.

Having only just got my Kronos and not knowing what the sounds sound like, when I'm auditioning sounds in the bank screen and see something like SW1, the temptation is to press SW1 to see what it does to the sound prior to me deciding if I want to use that sound or not.

I'll have to learn not to Smile

Would be nice while choosing sounds if there was an option to double click and stay on the bank page until I've found the sound I like, but knowing me, I'm the only one that needs such an option Smile
