What's your use-case? There are 10,000 better ways to play backing tracks than trying to route them through the KRONOS. But yeah, you can play them from the disk, you can use the audio inputs, you can record a sample and assign the sample to a note on the keyboard, you can record into the sequencer ...

Okay, I at least figured out how I can use the PROG. I used the common step seq to make it play a repeating melody, so that's good. I just need now to figure out how I can alter the tone without ruining what's good about it lol. For anyone curious, I'm using it to create the intro synth sequence for ...

If the question is about the sound produced by playing the Program with KARMA off, then it's worth using a reductionist approach, basically turning off various parts of the Program, and finding out what changes. Firstly, go to the EXi1 | Step Seq/LFO | Step Sequencer tab, and set all 15 of the ...

Hi, guys, so I'm trying to figure out how a certain PROG works (D117 - "Offbeat Dancerific", a PROG with a single AL-1). This is in the Motion Synth category. I can't figure out what's going on; what's making the not "bounce" around to the tempo, etc. I've read the Parameter Guide for the entire AL ...

Just to close the loop on this, yes, having identical TFX on each preset solved my problem. My soundman explained how it affected the EQ graph he was looking at and overall everything sounded much more even. I simply added a Stereo Multiband Comp in TFX 1 and a Stereo Mastering Limiter on TFX 2. I'm ...

While I don't use outboard reverbs for the KRONOS (I feel the built-in ones are more than sufficient), some of my favorite reverbs that work well with anything are: Cornerstone Music & Paul Davids Nucleo Reverb Eventide H9 Poly Beebo (lots of built-in convolution reverbs) Tons of flavors out there ...

So I have about 30 patches; everything from basic piano to crazy combis that use 14 channels (I play in a Taylor Swift tribute). I have an issue with getting all my presets (and parts within) to the same/nominal level. They're close, and I tell the soundman that a comp/limiter would be ideal for my ...

Fair enough if you can get it done with another AL-1. As for why you recall it sounding differently, well maybe another RT knob was accidentally moved which altered the character of the sound and you weren't aware? That's happened to all of us at some point. I like to blame the cat when that ...

You're welcome. I hope you get it sorted out. Sorry for getting it backwards as to which EXi wasn't working. Don't know why I misread it as the AL-1 not working with RT 1 when it was the PolySix, or maybe I just got confused when I was comparing the Tone Adj controls. Either way, the idea to ...

@hardsync - thank you! That's the best reply I've gotten out of the half dozen places I've posted this question! Or, at least, it's given me a few new avenues of troubleshooting that I can work with. I'll mess with it tonight and see what I come up with. For reference, it didn't matter if I was in ...

Got a problem that’s driving me crazy. I have a PROG with two EXi modules. (PolySixEX & AL-1, if it matters). While I’m in the PROG, I can use RT Knob 1 to control the cutoff frequency of both EXis. It sounds great, as the AL-1 generates noise to compliment the PolySix, and it goes from pure wooly ba ...

Quite simply because today a 12-year-old technology is not a good marketing image for the Korg company. that's all ! Well, it's still arguably the biggest and best workstation on the market. If anything, the fact that it's 12 speaks to its amazing quality and, IMO, is a huge selling point. That ...

Hi all. Looking to control my Kronos and Axe Fx III via my iPad running OnSong so that when I change songs in OnSong, it loads up the appropriate presets on my Axe and the appropriate songs in Setlist mode on my Kronos. The problem is, if I connect via the USB-B port on the back of the keyboard ...

Dang. Sorry to hear that, TC. I've only had one time at the VERY end of the night where my K261 suddenly stopped outputting sound randomly. I just switched combis and came back and it was working again, but it was a head-scratcher. I still have confidence in it, though :) My K288 at home still has ...

I'd be very curious to know how people incorporate things like the Helix or Axe Fx into a Kronos rig, since the Kronos already has such a robust effects suite.
