I saw this on your web site :
The Korg Kronos v3.1 Editor and Librarian is available in:
Midi Quest Pro ($399US)
Midi Quest ($279US)
Why Kronos Editor is not available for Midi Quest One ?
At least for old Kronos owner ?
Korg provides a standalone version of Korg Editor.
Is it still the old version (32 bits) ?
Thanks |
Two reasons actually. Feature wise the two are virtually identical so why offer it and while there is a second, I believe it is covered under NDA, so I can't specifically say.

To trash a motherboard would mean that the problem was electrical and I assume, in the USB port. So doesn't that mean that whatever USB product you plugged into the port next would have damaged the board, it just happened to be the iLok hardware?

Yes, and we also know that this method has been cracked repeatedly. Even Pace doesn't recommend it if the application has a history of being attacked and Midi Quest certainly does. We already have a cracked protection system from MQ11. Why change vendors to use a system where the same thing will happen?

Hey Mr. Soundquest.
Just to inform that I sold my Kronos two years ago only for the lack of having 64bit vst editor.
Shame, $5K synth with 32bit editor only.

some of the DAWs have software-bridges : so we can perfectly use 32bit plug-ins in the 64 DAW.
So why bother ?

Because macOS Catalina doesn’t support 32 bit software at all anymore, even with a bridge.
The Kronos editor is essentially end of life on Mac.

"Who can do the most, can the least" should be the golden rule in any computer systems. Downward compatibility is a duty and a respect for customers.
I hope so concerning the future Korg products

It should be mentioned as well, that Quest based Editor and Plugin is based on archaic code, not just 32-bit. In some DAWs like Logic Pro, performs poorly on multi-core systems.

Interestingly, all references to the editor and DAW integration have been removed from Korg’s main product pages for the Kronos.

So they were running "Under Examination" campaign for years ( Compatibility chart, PDF ) , only to turn into an Abondonwear ? |
