I have one I’m currently using in one of my setlists, but of course it does no good without the SNG file loaded.
Ok, its #17.

How about having a security code to un-lock the Kronos. Just in case some clown attempts to edit the unit without authorization, or in the event your Kronos is stolen, it would be useless without the code.

If Korg developers can add a automatic loop function when you edit a wav sample (in Sampling Mode), this because the manual loop take a expensive time for each wav file.

And the posibility to add a user image (jpg, bmp, png, etc) to Program (Play Page MSC/WS/Dkit Display) :D

Since the motherboard is Intel D 252W, can add an external display port for a bigger screen with a mouse function

Yep agree with that. My 1989 Emax II had auto loop.

How about some kind of consolidated modulations view. It doesn't even have to be editable (although that would be a plus). One thing I find about the Kronos is that the AMS modulations are scattered all over the place, across many tabs. It would be nice to be able to see them all in one place so you can tell what is affecting what.

Agree font size is important, but also font readability. Some characters and numbers (0, 8 ) and others are poorly chosen shapes that are difficult to see.
Provide some alternative fonts with better legibility/readability.


Sad but true - by the time you can afford an instrument like a Kronos, you're probably getting to the age where you don't see as well as you used to....

I agree. FYI, the LCD/screens on MODX and Fantom are far superior.
Even my poor eyesight can handle the details om those 2 boards.

I realize its not fair, in a way, to compare a 9 yr old Kronos to a 3 yr old MODX. But the difference in quality LCD/screen is striking.
