KRONOS Rack, I'd buy one ;-)

One of my 3D models nobody has seen before. I'll knock out a few more renders of this tomorrow when my main PC is finished doing other work I have it rendering.

Regards
Sharp.

I would say it needs to be modular:
- Kronos Brains module - touchscreen tablet size with headphones out and usb for simple Class compliant midi/audio connectivity, which would be compact and lightweight enough to carry around to rehearsals etc;
- Kronos i/o module for full range input and output connectivity
- Kronos controller module different keybord versions including advanced and expensive capacitive touch keyboard with all the knobs and faders touch strips etc
Yes, I know modular approach on M3 was not very successful, but, hey, Korg is doing modular with little bits and volcas very successfully, so why not the high end modular Kronos?

very well done Sharp; depending on the price I also could imagine to buy one and use my O as a controller. I think Korg should produce a rack version of Kronos there should be a market for this.

I'd trade my 88 in on that in a NY minute! That way, I could bring my beloved KX88 out of retirement and put it back in the rig.

Well done.

I have no need for one but man.........that looks so sexy. I want to pick it up and hold it and fiddle with its knobs and use its inputs.

great job Sharp

When are you selling it? I won't tell Korg! :-p

I would surely by one too. I love my Kronos 88 but it is just getting too heavy for me to lug around to gigs. I also have a 61 that I use sometimes, and I'm thinking of using it all the time even though my gigs are mostly piano gigs.

I would buy one, too.
My Nord Stage is waiting for more use time.

Can you build a custom one without Karma and Sequencer but without bank limit? Will buy at least one of that.

One more view.

lol...I was hoping nobody would notice.

I only noticed myself after uploading the first image but at that point it was already too late as the others had already been added to my main PC for rendering.

If I stop the process, I would loose an entire day, so I just let it run. I need more CPU power, lots and lots more to do all this efficiently and to easily fix problems.

With that said, here's the final 2 renders with the same mistake in them. If I were to render more from this point onwards, the PAD naming would be right as I fixed the problem today.

There's one other mistake too. The buttons that are not lighting should not have a white strip on them, that should dark glass the same as the ring LED's that's not lighting.
