Humm... I wish the next updates will have 5 million presets for free insted of the, like, 1 million that already exists. I also wish that it had 29 synth engines instead of the 9 that it has already. Compatibility with all sample formats that exist on the planet so I can convert any sample/patch library on the planet to the Kronos without having to bother with any more work than select the library and press "convert".
It would also be killer if I could play it without actually having to play the keys.
And if it could weigh as much as a cotton ball and be built like a German tank that would also be great
Ohh... And if it could make a nice Italian expresso it would be killer...

Now seriously guys.... When will enough be enough? The Kronos already has features to keep anyone busy for the next decade ay least. Apart from minute bug fixes and better quality hardware, its very close to perfect

Cheers

This may sound a bit odd, but I wish the AL-1 synth had a 'skin'. It looks very uninteresting as a collection of plain text+box pages.

Not doubting the sound design potential but that interface does not invite exploration.

(Caveat: newbie with 6 days' Kronos experience, may change opinion at any moment, etc.)

A menu drop down list within the Sequencer"s Midi Event Viewer allowing you to quickly choose the tracks you wish to edit as opposed to having to exit and change the track and then reenter each time. This would be much more efficient.

simply that : A time display in the sequencer. Very useful.

I wish that when sometimes I come up with really great new sound sets of timbres while play in song mode that I could easily just save them as new combis in my user banks and set lists.

Actually for any audio sync witn an external audio digital recorder, the Kronos can only act as a master midi controller. It would be very usefull that in the future the Kronos could audio/sync as a slave.

A few weeks in, my wish list is pretty tiny things, here's one (correct me if you can do this but I don't think so) - when in Combi mode, you take the "Copy from Program" option, you can't browse through programs by Category, only by the banks, this seems like an oversight to me. I don't know about you but when I search for patches it's always by category. So in that (very common!) scenario, I have to bounce over to program mode, browse by category *there* which you can do until I pick what sound I want, then go back to Combi mode (at least happily it is smart enough to then offer my previously selected Program as the default choice for Copy From Program).

I'm gonna chime in with a few more as I think of them, and they are all going to be ridiculously trivial. I love the option to assign different colors to set list slots, very nice touch but I wish there were a lot more colors to choose between from and it doesn't seem like that would have been to hard. Am I missing anything (relatively new Kronos owner, just a few weeks in like I mentioned), it's just those 16 hard-coded colors, right, no way to see any others?

Man.... I hate to see apologists in these forums that have to spam these sorts of posts with their sarcasm and brand worship.

Kronos is great but by no means perfect. Pretty much every product in the field- or existence, really- has something consumers would like to improve upon. The point of this thread is to discuss things we’d like to see added to it, but that doesn’t mean we’re unhappy with it as is. Nobody is asking for any of these ridiculously over the top features to warrant smug remarks like the bit about five million presets and to weigh as much as a cotton ball.

I don’t really care if it has a million features. I’ve never used, needed, or wanted 1/20th of the feature set of anything I’ve ever used to make music and my guess is that’s true for most people. There are certain things that are WIDELY wanted by many users however, and it’s ridiculous to see them so consistently mocked and shot down.

Take the desire for a piano roll: I’ve seen so many posts talking about how the Kronos does so much, you should just do that in a DAW, etc.

Well... OBVIOUSLY we all work around such limitations, but it’s a perfectly reasonable thing to want in such a “swiss army knife” workstation with a million features that will “keep you busy forever”, as has been described on this site.

a piano roll or, even better, a grid-based step sequencer modelled after the one Maschine uses through its pads or, at a minimum, an x0x style sequencer would do wonders for programming drums within Kronos. It would pretty much eliminate any need for outboard gear that I have personally.

Aside from coveting the MOXF guitar patches there’s nothing else I’d really need. Ido have certain patches in my Cubase setup that I’d use as an external sound module but there’s ultimately very little I’d go outside the box for. I’d personally rather do everything in the box and fail to see why so many people feel the need to act like petulant children at the mere notion that OTHER PEOPLE might want a few features that work better for them. Heaven forbid! All we can do is ask and pose the notion. Korg will do whatever they do and we’ll all just make do when it comes to those features that it does lack.
