Just picked up my Kronos 61!

I have to agree with the last previous posts. The Set List for me is great because I can set up all of my keyboards' sounds with one touch of a button. This includes my M3 that is connected via midi. Compared to the M3 I feel that the real time controls are organized and managed better on the Kronos. I feel that I can really do a lot more with the real time controls on the Kronos during live performances. Plus, the set list sound carryover from the previous patch is absolutely a great place for a live musician to be. No more 'hurry up' in switiching sounds in between songs. Now I can concentrate on performance instead of administering to the keyboard.

I am puzzled as to why the improvements to the M3's sequencer hasn't been added to Kronos.

Indeed.

Futhermore, DAW conectivity was also present in the M3 (as is in Kronos) before the M3's sequencer update, so it cannot be used as an excuse not to update Kronos´ one as well.

Probably the development of the Kronos has started before the M3 was finished and therefor they did not do the software merge between the two synths.
