Cgoodhines thanks but your statment has little to do with the topic if the new kronos is nothing more than vents new motherboard new keybed & new enclusure but has the exact same functions & no new functions then it's the same synth as the old kronos

Apart from all the differences you just wrote, it is. I don't really understand your point? It's largely the same except for a new enclosure, a possible fanless design, gold plated outputs, an angled screen a new mobo and new free soundsets.

The point is that there is no concrete point in this thread at all: it's just an utterly meaningless rant towards people who are used to help with concrete Kronos related problems.

Let's just wait until Harpernet explores the 3000 bucks expensive used Kronos he told us he has bought. Maybe some day he comes up with Kronos related stuff making a bit more sense, or with a real question about making music with the Kronos.

The debate ends when the community stops responding to it. I suggest that approach, this will be my one and only post in this thread.

@Harpernet

Can you tell us EXACTLY what problems you are having with your Kronos, is it overheating, is is rebooting sporadically, is the interface freezing up? - if we know what's wrong we may be able to help you.

I grew up a Dallas Cowboys fan and here in Texas we say if you talk about the "boys" more than your own team your a Cowboys fan could it be the Kronos " haters" are really Kronos fans. we need some new "haters" cause all of our old ones are starting to like us.

For those who don't understand I'll make the point again instead of korg doing a recall on existing KRONOS & repairing the problems some kronos owners have which they have stated in their own personal post which are numerous I know this because I've been reading them & there is a lot more I haven't read they decided to market the new kronos which has the same functions no new features as the old kronos except there is a better motherboard better keybed vents & new enclosure. If I am wrong then this would be pointless if I am right then I have made my point.We shall see soon. Xmas & a happy new year everyone

Again, the only problem that could have been worth of a recall was that of the RH3 pads. Apart from that, what other problems experienced by users in terms of motherboard, PSU or anything else is the normal rate of failure of electronic equipment.

With the Kronos 2, some of the new features are probably there as token gestures. For example, some people have been vocal about the end cheeks of the Kronos, moaning about their plasticky aspect and suggesting they were fragile, adding to the feeling that the Kronos was a cheaply made product. Well, I suspect putting wood cheeks and revising the case is nothing more than a response to this non-issue as the plastic cheeks of the Kronos are far from fragile, but the revised machine will look more solidly put together.

Those same people who were arguing about the cheap aspect of the original Kronos have stopped now, as they realise many owners take theirs on the road and enjoy a troublefree relationship with their Kronos. Perception is not always reality.

Besides the evolutions that are there for show, others are born from experience. No doubt the revised positioning of the screen improves ergonomics, just as the different colours and fonts used with the system.

To suggest that the Kronos 2 has no other purpose but to fix what was wrong with the original Kronos is just ludicrous. So yes, your statement is entirely pointless, and you should stop digging yourself into a hole any further.

Colors & fonts doesn't make it a new kronos
