1. Piano roll view/editor in sequencer 2. A proper mixdown function in SEQ that lets you mix down the whole song (or partial) to WAV, MP3, M4A, maybe OGG and other popular formats without going into sampling mode. Render direct from SEQ to USB drive in preferred format for easy sharing. 3. Nameable ...

I ordered it from Korg UK, and it came in two days...... very quick. I can't complain, as I've used it for about 8 years and not had any issues. Have you looked into improved cooling for yours? The small fan in this Kronus 88 must be very ineffective as there's no vents in the casing. I really have ...

Hi Ross, Wow that was quick to receive a new PS. Did you order it locally, from Korg, from the Enhance manufacturer ? Hi KK I ordered it from Korg UK, and it came in two days...... very quick. I can't complain, as I've used it for about 8 years and not had any issues. Although I reckon temperature ...

Ross This SMPS PSU do not work if disconnected from mobo and just plug 100-300V input , as any motherboard PSU since it has an enable pin that must be grounded , therefore you will measure zero output voltages this way ! I had written at that time in earlier post : In order to test Enhance ENO-1612 ...

Re: FINALLY
Hello Ross, If you are sure the meter was set on the VDC scale (not VAC), then it would confirm the PS is defective. Sorry about that. About where to find a replacement one, I have no idea but I suppose I would first contact Korg service by email to see what they say (try support@korgusa.com even ...

Re: FINALLY
Had another thought..... the spare MB I acquired had 1GB RAM module fitted. Am I able to add this RAM to my Kronus MB which still has one slot free? It's fitted with a 2GB RAM module already. So that would be 3GB in total, but mixed values........ they are both DDR2 modules. Would I notice a ...

Re: FINALLY
Hi KK Thanks agin for all your help. I'm not trained as a technician, but always willing to give it a go....... I got down to work this morning and did a check on the voltages as you explained, and other than one or two brief tiny flickers of .001 on the 20 volt scale, there's nothing reading from ...

Re: FINALLY
Hi KK Yes I made sure it was VDC and not VAC, but you're right to ask!!! So, am I right in assuming that it's the 'primary' circuit of the P/S that is likely faulty, if all the various outputs are showing nothing? Hi Ross, Indeed it looks like something is open. Could be simple as an open diode. I ...

Re: FINALLY
Hi, and firstly thanks for your input. Much appreciated. I was very methodical with the swop over, so I'm confident the install is ok. (inc RAM and new battery) With the replacement motherboard, there is no life apart from the small mobo light, (which also appeared on the original motherboard). No ...

Re: FINALLY
Sadly, the motherboard swop didn't bring my keyboard back to life.... looks like the power supply is goosed!! I knew it would be one or the other.... I had managed to acquire the motherboard, so that was first in line to be tried.... ah well. I'm not sure how easy it will be to get hold of a power ...

Re: FINALLY
I've read your thread with great interest. I too have a Korg Kronus (88 model), from 2012ish, and one day it just went dead, having been on and working......Had a look inside, and noticed the motherboard light is illuminated. I managed to acquire an identical motherboard, and wondered if I just ...

Re: FINALLY
Gosh, you make it sound so simple!!! I'm going to attempt the swop over tomorrow. I'll let you know how I got on. Cheers!!! Ross Be sure to replace the CR2032 battery on the replacement MoBo when you do. I forgot to and about a year later had to tear it down to replace it. Good luck! Ah.... will do ...
