Hi - Its a Kronos X. I've regularly updated although I am one behind at 3.1.3. I'd always assumed that the Firmware update was just part of the release bundle. If that's not the case, I could be way behind with Firmware. I'm black-screening constantly now so will try anything and everything.

The back has been off 3 times now in 10 days for RAM reset. I get a day or more without the black screen but this clearly isn't sustainable. Like 95% of you on here, I'm waiting for what comes next to properly replace the Kronos before spending any serious money. Thing is, although I just play in ...

That all makes a lot of sense and certainly resonates with my sometimes hurried transportation of my board. Also, when the dreaded black screen of death first appears, its usually after a good few hours of rehearsing/gigging when its probably got hot and expanded inside. The black screen is a ...

Just to complete the loop on this issue. My note cut-off issue became the dreaded black screen 'The system has developed a fault (para-phrase) please wait 10 seconds and reboot'. Since taking the back off, unplugging and re-plugging in the RAM, no further issues today......fingers crossed. This is a ...

Hmmmm I'm up to date with versions.......funnily enough it's been fine for the last hour since I did another restart. its fine when noodling at home of course but anxious making prior to a gig.

Thanks voip. I have had the back off previously when I was getting Systems failure msgs during boot up. Re-seating one of the components sorted that at the time. These are a different set of faults but it's worth a go. I've just fired up the Kronos this morning and the cut-off issue was immediately ...

Hi all. Did this ever get resolved? It started happening to me last night during rehearsal for a gig in a few weeks. I have a Kronos X 61. 2 symptoms are exactly the same as 'quariune's'. One of the progs in the combi I was playing would only hold a note for about 1 second before cutting off. Other ...

.....some of this has come back to me from a few years ago when I dabbled in this area and came up against a wall. I've arrived at the same wall! I've now gone with SEQ to record the synth riff I'm after and have that now as a loop. All good. I've saved it to disc as an sng. What I need now is to ...

Hi all. I'd like to programme the synth octave section of Girls & Boys by Blur. It opens the song and continues on through most of it. I do very little programming (never did get my head around it all) so wanted to ask, if you would opt for the step sequencer, common step sequencer, Karma, RPPR or ...

Yes please - always running out of real estate with my 61 and retuning either end to get a phrase to fit!

....and me. I got my 61 two years ago.......but I debated with myself for a long time if I was buying the right instrument. In the end, all the 'toys' within won me over but I felt sure its brother would soon arrive...........still being patient

Wow - this thread has proven to be a major light bulb moment for me. After 18 months of ownership spent scratching around the edges of Kronos functionality, these couple of posts finally delivered what I suspected was there somewhere. Thanks. I just want to take this a bit further if I may in regard ...

Karma - right OK. New territory for me then. I shall have a dig and see what I can find and come back to you guys for a bit more of a steer if I get stuck. Thanks for taking the time to reply

Hi all - violinists will be doubtless be rolling their eyes at my attempt to describe the technique in producing a short and descending 'string stab' on the violin but the sound/effect I'm after on the Kronos is just that - less than half a second of string punctuation, that drops maybe a semitone ...

Yes yes yes. So agree. I almost didn't get a Kronos when I realised the middle board was weighted. There are many songs my band plays live where I'm unable to add the full richness of sound because I've run out of ivory.
