Korg Forums

After owning your Kronos for up to a year'ish, how much have you used of the 'K's potential / capabilities ?

Hard to quantify, i know but I have gone 'up to' 60%, the final 40% and more, has to be the Karma learning curve and sampling.

I've been thinking about my own question and I think 60% is probably to much, nearer to the 41% mark, if that

I suppose the Kronos has such depth that you can only really squeeze what 'you' need from it. Not enough hours in the day to truly conquer the beast. Apart from the developers of course, and Dan and the boys etc....

I use up to about 20% at the mo...

I've used very little of its functionality.... as yet!!! But that will change. This keyboard will be with me for a few years to come (my triton classic lasted me about 12 years!!!!).

I haven't voted as not a Kronos owner, but as a little benchmark - I've had my OASYS a little over 2 years now. I play it every day.

Combining sampling, sequencing. Karma then sound programming (at prog and combi levels), with 3rd party libraries as well as Korg's; I'd say I've got to grips with about 20% of what the O can do.

Every day it surprises me what it can do - when I go exploring. Unfortunately, I know I don't have the time to explore it the way it deserve to be!

Wow, I must be at 1% then

Don't give me that stuff! I've heard what you do and it's seriously good music. MUSIC. Doesn't matter in the end whether you know 1% or 61% of a keyboard, it's what you do with it that counts and you need have no worry in that department

I have no urge to learn everything about the O - I just want to learn to make it do what I want it to do... <sigh> that's the bit - for me - that may take some time; but I have such joy trying to get there

more so than a poll, I'd like to know individually what guys are saying (which choice they are picking)

lol...

I put up to 20%

Cheers cello .
Only jesting and I think you are equally modest.
I just learn as I need to.
It amazes me the technical knowledge of some of the forum members.

There should be a 0% option, for those of us struggling with keybed issues. I'm still waiting for delivery of a unit that will work properly - after all these months.

i've voted up to 60 percent.

there is so much to discover and even after 10 months i find something new almost everyday.

I have some sample libraries so that counts quite a lot (relatively) to SSD usage. For the rest, some PCG files (mostly backups) are residing. I don't sequence, so it's not going to grow a lot and the Kronos memory is already filled up.

About 3%, really. This beast is so deep it's scary!

I have used 100% of the German Grand and Japanese Grand

Nicely said, Cello - fully agree!
