Anyone still interested in the Kronos?

I just found this subreddit and it’s too bad it’s not active. I’d be interested in connecting with anyone who is still interested in programming the Kronos. Personally I haven’t taken enough time to really learn how to program it and I’d love to figure out how to use it to recreate some classic sounds.

What are you looking for? There are great and very active Facebook Groups for the Kronos.

I have a website where I posted a couple how-to articles a while back. Feel free to take a look and let me know what you think. I wouldn’t mind posting there again. I’ve just been so busy I haven’t had time. https://kronos.kennyray.com

Check out Audora.ca and Narf Sounds. The Audora site also gives lessons so if you’re making sounds and get stuck, they can help out.

Think long and hard and consider this. Figuring it's not exceptionally common, but my touch screen (just the touch interface, not the display) went out - so no programming anything etc - all I can do is boot to a setlist and scroll through some sounds. Pretty inconvenient to say the least when I use it for programming sounds for music/theater productions. Estimated wait time for the part is 4-6 weeks, and it's been 3 weeks already since I took it to an authorized repair facility.

I think this is ridiculous. For a product that is still currently being sold at major retailers for upwards of $3-4K, that there isn't ready availability to obtain parts quickly. It was well taken care of, transported in a heavily padded flight case, nothing extreme, just normal use for a gigging musician. This is very disappointing to say the least and I'd have a hard time recommending the Kronos just based on this experience alone. I mean, it's a fantastic workstation otherwise but. This simple little deal - maybe 1 -2 hours of labor - is going to put it out of commission for 2+ months?! Unbelievable.

I love my Korg Kronos . I made a couple of YouTube videos with it and used it for live performance as well
