If you can master Kronos and that is big if (i did not yet) you don't need anything else simple as that I always said only problem with Kronos is that once you own it there is nothing better to buy and as a musician we always want something new I had Montage too I didn't need it so sold it . Only ...

Thanks, that was quite helpful to understand your demands. So you obviously are well suited to drive your next musical Ferrari, and don't just want to use it for a supermarket buy around the corner. ;-) But then, all the more, i have no better advice than - a) buy a Kronos - b) have a look at ...

... I'm really, really, trying to avoid going down the path of using a laptop. Everyone claims it is superior to hardware to a degree that, if you care about the quality of the sounds, you have to go that direction. I am really hoping, if I just got two of the best in hardware, whatever I am ...

Kronos and a laptop with software synths. Maybe Onmisphere and Keyscape by Spectrasonics. You will got through sounds all day for a long time and never get throgh them all before the next version is released. And even get the MODX 61 for added sound. Sound control is more important than you seem to ...

Since money is no object. And you only have 4 criteria. Kronos excels in 2 top sound categories. EP's are a tie. Strings a very slight edge to MODX. Simplistically, that is a very close win for Kronos. But neither board is that 'simple' thus I don't agree with such narrow criteria for a $3500 ...

Montage and MODX are not ' all in one boards. Neither has a SEQ. Both are fairly called 'performance synths'. Kronos has a very useable SEQ. But we are getting into spec. You can eval that separately I think your only topic focus/criteria was ' sound '. Yes, that's what I meant. Totally in regards ...

[qu If it doesn't, I'm assuming you're saying the best all-in-one boards on the market are the Montage/MODX and Kronos? Montage and MODX are not ' all in one boards. Neither has a SEQ. Both are fairly called 'performance synths'. Kronos has a very useable SEQ. But we are getting into spec. You can ...

Since you mentioned being willing to pay $5000.... I don't recall if I made it on the previous page, but I'm willing to do that for one board. I want two. I don't have a budget. I DO, but if the top end boards are $5k - give or take a thousand or two - budget is not an issue in regards to buying ...

I would only consider other boards, if I needed only limited bread and butter sounds, and less advanced functionality. For bread and butter sounds, what is the best for bread and butter sounds, with no budgetary limitations? From your answer it becomes obvious to me that it is you, not us, to ...

) The only thing you can do is go for the board that does the best across the board job in terms of bread and butter sounds. I'd love for a co. to get super-ambitious and try to be the best at everything. There has to be at least ONE company with that mindset, right? So, if I asked you to name the ...

Hello, everyone. I know this is an old thread, but I found it via a Google search, so .... yeah. I'm trying to get a keyboard that does the best job of across the board bread and butter sounds. I'm not only just looking for great piano sounds. Acoustic instrument, and non-acoustic instrument, BnB ...
