I was just checking how many people actually registered here on Kronoshaven.com. And it’s nice to see that more than 103 users registered. Also we already have more than 50 likes on Facebook, check it out:

https://www.facebook.com/Kronoshaven

I think Kronoshaven on Facebook can get really large because that’s the modern way people interact with eachother; sharing pictures, videos and asking question to eachother. Hope to see you there!

cheers, Angelo

We like to quote Rich Formidori on Korg Forums:

Hi folks,

Thanks for your patience. The Editor/Plug-In Editor software for the Kronos is now available for download at www.korg.com/kronos/support . Click on “Software” for the editor, and please make sure you also visit the “Drivers” section to download the latest USB-MIDI driver.

We’ve also released OS v1.6, which is required to run the Editor/Plug-In Editor. It can be downloaded right from the “OS” section of the support page. In addition to various bug fixes, this update also adds an “Uninstall EXs” command, which will completely remove selected EXs data from the internal SSD.

Enjoy.

Thanks,
-Rich

As promised the videos:

Today we went to the MusikMesse in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Korg Kronos was there.

See a small impression on our Facebook page here.

Also check out this link from Sonic State about the SGX-1 piano expansion for the Korg Kronos

We are editing a video of a demonstration done by Tom Coster, keyboardist and composer voor many groups like Santana etc. Stay tuned for more!

Do you also want to buy a Korg Kronos?
You can do this at Amazon. You see, not only book but also Korg Workstations!

Many people don’t know this, so I’m going to share this with you.

When you play a combi, wouldn’t it be nice to directly record it into the sequencer so that you can play it again later together with all the effects and KARMA (don’t forget to save it). Well, here’s how:

1. select your favourite combi
2. here it comes. press hold ENTER + REC

record a combi with Korg Kronos

3. next you will see the next screen:

setup to record

4. press OK and then you’re set to record your performance with your combi
5. Press START to begin recording (mind the 2 bars intro countdown before actually recording.)

Hope this helps, If you like it, then LIKE it on Facebook

wow, when I look at the forums about Korg Kronos there’s a lot of emotions about the upcoming editor for the Kronos. I miss those days I had a forum myself at Tritonhaven (NOT haha, kudos to the admins of the current forums!).

Now, what’s the status? Korg is developing the editor and it will come to you. The date when it’s ready is not (already) public. Be patient (I will), because it will be released when everything works like it should. So no news on a date, but it will surely come.

Don’t forget:
- The Kronos has 9 soundengines! (say 9 synths, so 9 editors in one)
- and it’s not just the engine, but also the software for your sequencer host (Cubase etc)
- the keyboardproblem has also had an impact, but it’s now fixed (or better: there’s a solution), the focus is now the editor.

I’m looking forward to it and when it’s there or if we hear news, we will let you know. Stay tuned!

BTW: have you checked the new EXS KRONOS Sound Library Lineup? I tried the Austrian Piano SGX-1 and it sounds wonderful! A demo version is available on the Korg.com website. When you install this it will be available in the Program usr8 bank and will fade every 8 seconds (very annoying hehe), but you’ll get a good idea how it sounds.

Today I got the Korg Kronos keybed replaced by the importer (Kris) of the Benelux (Voerman) at our local musicstore Lyana. From now all new Korg Kronos workstations will have this new, modified RH3 keybed.

We had a nice chat and below you see a photo report of the replacement of the keybed. And the result was amazing: No more double hammering, no more strange clicking sounds. It’s a perfect keybed. Thanks Kris & Korg! Keep up the great work!

Richard Formidoni, Technology Product Manager of Korg USA posted an update on Korg Forums regarding the double triggering issue:

‘Hi everyone,

Thanks for your patience. Again, I’m posting this on behalf of Korg Inc.:

We have been hard at work investigating the small percentage of Kronos 73 and 88 users who are experiencing a double-triggering issue. We are pleased to announce that we have successfully tested a solution, and we will be including this adjustment in future Kronos production. We will continue our analysis, but we would like to make this solution available to users who are affected. Please contact your local Korg distributor if you are experiencing this behavior, and please also note that there is no benefit for this solution being applied if your Kronos 73 or 88 is not one of the small percentage that is exhibiting this issue.

Thanks,
-Rich’

Update: the fix is a hardware and a software fix. Probably they will replace the keybed and the software will be updated to 1.5.2 (from 1.5.0). The reactions of users who have their Kronos repaired are very positive.
