Bought mine somewhere around 2006/07. Had been sitting several years. Replaced the memory battery (Summer 2022) and all is well. This one has stood the test of time.

I’d be happy if someone made a decent hardware multitrack with MIDI at this stage…

Yes and yes again!

Are dead batteries still in the instrument? Have they leaked? If they haven't then why not try fresh batteries? If they have leaked it is possible you can clean the contacts. You will have to take it apart to clean both ends of the battery compartment (I did this once, a trillion years ago), but it ...

Could your power adapter be bad? Have you tried to power it on with batteries?

Yes, very realistic indeed! I would like to hear the samples without reverb, and preferably both with and without accompaniment. Very exciting. After a long wait, my Kronos 2 is about to emerge into reality in my studio. Having previously owned an Oasys, I'm stoked on so many different levels.

Thanks!

Synthee, were your rack housings purchased separately? I'm seeing the "Z" as a basic desk and can't seem to find the rack housings that look like yours. It really is a beautiful desk and I think I'd like one.

Wow! Your desk is awesome. And the kronos 2 does not bounce at all when you play? I'm not ham fisted, but this is a concern as my Oasys used to bounce on my el cheapo desk to the point that I made make-shift legs for it (lol). A salesman is trying to steer me toward the Miza XL, but it looks like ...

Checked out the Jaspers Recording Station. Hadn't really thought about that style, but I'm giving it consideration. The more I look at the Omnirax offerings, the more I agree they are not especially well suited to a keyboard MIDI studio like mine. I wish I had the talent to build my own but ...

Anybody using an Omnirax Presto (not the Presto 4) for their Kronos 88? What are your thoughts? Can the bottom rack spaces be accessed without too much effort? What about the build? Anyone using a desk from any manufacturer that they love for the 88 note Kronos? There's one called the "Music ...

My first Workstation was an 01/Wfd purchased in 1993. For the next 12 years I composed using it's 16 track sequencer. Then came my Triton Extreme 88. 3 years on that one. Then Oasys, 6 years. Financial distress in 2014. Krome 88 until... now...financial recovery... getting ready to buy a Kronos 88 ...

I would not consider a Montage. I like Yamaha. Had an FX-20 organ back in the '80s, and still have an MU100. The Montage doesn't do it for me on any level. To each their own. My Virus TI Desktop complimented my Oasys like sweet whipped topping on ice cream (cookie dough!). Expecting the same with ...

From the very first post, by Kronos2ison, on this topic: "I paid $2150 out the door new in box for the Kronos2 61 key and the Manager said it was discontinued that a new model was coming. I asked him if he was talking about a Kronos LS? He said no they just got orders from corporate to move them out ...

Thanks, Mike, I'm looking forward to owning a Kronos. Looks like by the end of Spring! Thanks again for sharing your experience.

Cool! Any timing issues with your song playback? This is my primary concern.
