I've had several Kronos over many years, I purchased a MontageM8x when it was first released. I have to confess, I don't use my Kronos that much lately. My Montage is my studio controller because of the top quality audio interface, the multi channel stereo USB audio and the GEX keybed. I used to use ...

An interesting module you have there! I was always going to consider doing the same with an old 61, but in the end decided not to, as I have a few alternatives to my Kronos these days. I think it's a logical desire with many people to have a rack version of the Kronos. I'm sure it's a marketing ...

I started playing the Kronos through my Kawai MP11SE a long time ago. I found that not only piano, but many other programs like the orchestral ones I have, all sounded better because I had better articulation on the nicely balanced triple sensor keybed. The only thing I missed was the aftertouch for ...

Kronos Remote and Macbook M1

Has anyone tried the Kronos Remote iPad app on a Macbook Pro with Apple Silicon? I am lead to believe that they can now run iOS apps, I have recently bought an M1 Pro machine, but haven't as yet got that far with it, and as I've never been much of an iPad user, would love for this to be the case ...

Kronos RH3 release velocity

I wonder how many Kronos owners, like myself value release velocity? As a pianist, and using a lot of piano vst's and the Kronos pianos, I value a keybed transmitting release velocity. What I had always assumed, was that when an instrument supports transmitting release velocity, it would be 0-127 as ...

Re: Kronos discontinued

I was highly skeptical when Korg told us that they would no longer sell weighted action keys on the Kronos because the cheaper ones were better. Not sure where you read this, maybe I'm misinterpreting, but the RH3 is still current in a few Korg instruments. I have a Kronos 2-88 and 73, and I like ...

I guess it's interesting to see what people do, but of course, we can't really compare and take advice from others, as we all have different applications of our gear, and time frames. I don't use my Kronos every day. The power and wear effects would far outweigh the positives. I've tailored the rest ...

Noisy keys do get to me, but from my experience it is usually an easy fix. My K2-88 had a noisy A0 key. Just a matter of pulling the keybed out, unslotting the key, and repositioning it back into position with the spring tab correctly seated and all was good.

Very strange that no one has a similar combination, Kronos and Hydrasynth? I do Pedja, but I have to confess I haven't done a lot with it. I have though, midi'd them together, and if I remember it was pretty straight forward like any synths. Not that I push the midi implementation very far Smile ...

After checking closer, it looks like that keyboard design might have meant to be as inexpensive as possible. Instead of using different white keys for the C/D/E sections, they simply use F and B keys as C and E keys (respectively) to save costs as less different plastic things to produce. Hence the ...

thanks guys for your replies. I understand the technical differences that occur in the keys, I have keyboards which when taken to a ruler are wider on those keys, however in my eyes it needs to be measured as it is barely noticeable. What I'm talking about with the LS is strikingly obvious. It was ...

Kronos LS black key spacing

I don't own an LS, but have played it a couple of times in the past when they were first released. I find the semi weighted keys to be ok for playing, but am I the only one who finds the wider spacing between C# and D# a deal breaker? I just can't accept the design of this, and as a pianist it would ...

By the title, I thought you actually bought something new! NO don't sell your Kronos. That would definitely be an impulse decision. Have you seen the current retail price of a new Kronos in Oz lately? Must be the exchange rate. They're nearly twice what I paid for mine. I have to confess, I have ...

Hi Liviou, I'm not sure you can do that. Though it may be technically possible to go audio digital only between them physically, I don't think the onboard software gives that functionality. I've been playing around with more exotic routings of audio on the Kornos, and have asked a question on the ...
