Hi all,

Thx!

I got my seaboard, I still haven't had any chance to test it with my kronos (my kronos is in the studio). Tomorrow I will check how it works
In the meanwhile I recorded a short video just testing the seaboard....it's a spectacular piece of equipment, it's very expressive.

I don't have the Seaboard but I do have the Linnstrument which is similar and it's a blast to use. It's also quite easy to setup and use. _________________ Current Korg Gear: KRONOS 88 (4GB), M50-73 (PS mod), RADIAS-73, Electribe MX, Triton Pro (MOSS, SCSI, CF, 64MB RAM), SQ-64, DVP-1, MEX-8000, MR-1, KAOSSilator, nanoKey, nanoKontrol, 3x nanoPad 2, 3x DS1H, 7x PS1, FC7 (yes Korg, NOT Yamaha). |

@metallo: how long did you practice that before you recorded the clip? _________________ Kronos X-88, Nanopad2, Tascam US122 MKii, Roli Rise 49 |

@ McHale, I've always been fascinated by the Linnstrument, sooner or later I will get one
@tomto66: not too long, I have my seaboard since 3 days ago. It's quite intuitive and easy to learn. |

I still haven't had a chance to try the Seaboard with the Kronos but I really can't wait and discover the thousands of possibilities using the sounds of the kronos with the expressivity of this board.
This is a short second test I made with it using 2 of the presets....I think it's just an awesome instrument with equator and noise for iphone being top quality sounds apps.

I still haven't tried it with the Kronos yet. I thought, seemingly incorrectly, that it would be easier to learn to connect it to a small mono device first. I have been working with the Minitaur. Sadly what I have had occur if in midi mode I can set the three faders to what I want done but the key waves just act like keys none of the wiggle jiggle slide etc has worked. I need to hit the manual again to verify if this is how it should be. Faders and x/y pad work well. |

What I'm planning to do is just to monitor the midi messages coming from the seaboard and mapping them on the kronos |
