Korg Forums

Thanks

I've been using Roland gear for years, most recently the RD800. One of the things I miss when using the Kronos is the ease of setting up a layer or split. Especially 'on the fly' when rehearsing or gigging. For live use my main 'go to' is a Nord NE5 so that I can tweak as I play.

The Kronos is a fabulous keyboard but not stage freindly and this update goes a way towards making that better.

So well done Korg.

I will load the update and investigate a little. I'm hoping that we will still be able to use the 'control' section for quick edits. I use this a lot to tweak the organ drawbars when playing and like to have a piano layered with this using the expression pedal to control the organ level so I can bring it in over the top of the piano when wanted.

Watch this space.

I think you are referring to the Nord electro. The Rd800 is a stage piano
Both have a nice ( but not huge) variety of sounds and are designed for quick stage use.

I don't believe either has the depth of 9 sound engines like the Kronos. Neither
is a workstation.

I am not clear if you are drawing a comparison.

The Kronos is used by many pros on the stage. It is getting even more
stage friendly with 3.1

I have the original Kronos. Just wondering how these slower processor machines handle the new OS. Any noticeable increased sluggishness of operations?

Nothing observable when switching modes, etc etc

The CPU is only very, very slightly slower anyway.
