My Kronos is stored on East coast USA and i am happily trapped in Hawaii.
I tried to arrange to have it shipped, managed to spend $300 just to organize a bungled packing attempt that cost me $89 in return shipping costs for wrong sized packaging supplies and still no word from UPS about being able to ship the Kronos.
This has been the case for over a month of trying and having someone else's patience tied up in the matter. So i dropped the ambition to ship my Kronos, and saved people the stress and trouble of trying to handle it for me and getting nowhere.
So here without my music rig, i decided to grab a used 2015 iMac from a refurbishing shop in town. Then bought a cheap new Casio DP 150 88keys with USB midi.
Got Logic Pro and Omnisphere -and two days later it is all downloaded, and running.
Already today i set up two projects in Logic that stack combi layers for me.
Which is all i really need. Got a Combi using Omnisphere and Logic Pro instruments in the mix. I guess i will get Mainstage also.
No audio interface, just USB midi to Keys so i can have Combis to play again, and it is working out better in some ways(new sound quality and better polyphony), but not so much the familiar Kronos work flow. No Karma either. So recreating my Karma Combis will be an issue.
Also have not worked out a way for a function like drum track or Karma style drums i used with Kronos.
Also the Casio DP 150 has no control surface worth using with DAW.
Will probably get a compact control surface rig for a dozen functions or so, to go with Mainstage.
iPad for Logic remote, sets up well on the Casio sheet music stand.
I doubt Karma Software will be able to work into the DAW mix, but good thing Korg triton is in VST form, from the original triton up to the triton Extreme.
I had a Triton Extreme before and loved it, so i will get the Triton VST and probably be able to work out Triton Drum track contributions into the Logic Pro Mix.
Will be using Logic Pro and Omnisphere to recreate my favorite Kronos Combis, of which some were recreations of my favorite Triton Extreme combis. So maybe Triton Extreme Software combis will save me some touble.
But still the issue of No Karma functions will remain.
Thanks for any tips on good substitutes, or ways of making Karma Software fit into the PC based mix. |
