You are absolutely wright Pouyakhoshgoo, sound of acoustic guitar on Korg PA900 is fantastic. I didn't find among fabric sound such as good.
I am wondering why Kronos, like best Korg WS, don't have a. guitar sound like this? Thanks for this link Pouyakhoshgoo.

Did you see Sharp's acoustic guitar set for the Kronos?

You should check it out, it's really good.

It's under the Irish Acts tab.
Current gear: Korg Kronos 61, Voicelive 2, Shure SM58, Alesis M1 Active 520, Focusrite Scarlett 18i6

Well... The Irish Acts's guitars sound really good but still there wasn't any Nylon guitar!
I really love the detailed Nylon Guitar sound on PA900 and i dont think there is anything as real as that on any keyboard! Not even on Tyros 5!
Its a pitty that you get an awesome instrument like Kronos and you find something like this on a much cheaper Arranger keyboard!

Anyways... Do you guys know any other Guitar sounds or samples except for those in Korg's website?

It's really sad, that Kronos don't have it, and that we have to buy it!

Remember- it's also in how you play it.

+1 Agreed - I thought a lot of that was the playing technique not sound itself.

I 100% agree that the way you play is really important, but this guitar sound is also so bright and sharp an LOUD ENOUGH!
kronos guitar not only dont sound this real , but also isn't loud that much! You need to press the keys really hard( i've got K88x) to make it sound ...

By the way... In the K. Only one of the nylon guitars has the Sliding effect( with SW2 turned on and the key pressed a bit harder)

Does any one know if we can add thes effect to other guitars as well?!

I'm, sure its possible to make the kronos guitar louder and brighter thru the effects and change the velocity response too.

It's not just one sound alone. There's bunch of key switches involved to produce all those articulations.

This is very irritating to me.

When i tried the Pa3x it had really great acoustic sounds, like these guitars, violins and brass while my Kronos is horrible on this department.

The ones on this video kinda sound like some of the motif xf acoustic guitars wich are great.
I also an integra-7 wich has probably the most realistic ones ever made on hardware.

I think it's just stupid and i don't understand why doesn't korg make a freely available MODERN sound set equivalent to their top of the line arrangers for us, Kronos users.
