vonnor Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 This thingy right here... http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m305/Koda_Vonnor/Misc/Kronos-2015.jpg Couldn't resist. It's funny the things I consider before making a major purchase for the live rig. Will it fit the case and on the stand? Will the pedalboard snake plugs reach the jacks? Can I eliminate/replace another board? Fantom X6: 41.38" x 14.13" x 5" Kronos 61: 40.94" x 14.33" x 5.28" Hell I can probably replace the Nord, the Fantom, AND the Motif rack with this thing. Not to mention the laptop. ~ vonnor Quote Gear: Hardware: Nord Stage3, Korg Kronos 2, Novation Summit Software: Cantabile 3, Halion Sonic 3 and assorted VST plug-ins.

Hell I can probably replace the Nord, the Fantom, AND the Motif rack with this thing. Not to mention the laptop. ~ vonnor I replaced my MOXF6 with a Kronos 61 earlier this year (mostly because of the keyboard itself). Very happy with it. The Kronos and the Stage 2 are a nice pairing. I still prefer the organs and the acoustic pianos on the Stage. The latter surprised me given the large piano samples on the Kronos. I like the modeled EPs on the Kronos a lot better. I will say that there are some sounds which the Motif series does much better, e.g. Kronos guitars aren't even close. So depending on what sounds you use, you may want to hold on to the Motif rack.

vonnor Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Yeah I use the Motif ES Rack for just about all of the electric guitar samples. Since I'm moving to a one-guitar band (thank god) I'll probably keep the Yamaha then. Thanks for the heads up. Does Kronos have the release plink sample on its clavs, do you know?

Stokely Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hoping to get an electro 5 myself. to replace a VR-700 (which I do like, but I consider this an upgrade) Also hoping that Native Instruments has a black friday sale, would like to get the definitive piano collection (Gentleman upright, Grandeur and Maverick grands) if it is 50% off.

If you try them out, let me know your impressions. I don't use any clavinet right now on my set, but partially because the MOXF wasn't great and I don't like playing the Stage clavinet on weighted keys. I might look to use some clav parts on the Kronos if they are good.

bennyray Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I use Busch clav samples that are free and they are much better than stock clav. I don't play clav much so I just use the free ones but I purchased the EPs and they are most excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mullins Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Just downloaded the D6 and it's pretty damn good. The release sample is pretty subtle...having never owned a Clavinet I'll trust that the level is appropriate. Easy enough to turn up.

Doerfler Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Michael, make sure you never sell them. I have a Merge and a Thru (not Quadra's) and I always think I should sell them then 2 years later I find a need for one or the other for a few weeks or so. I've had them both for a decade or longer. They are rock solid and do what they are supposed to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Wright Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Michael, make sure you never sell them. I have a Merge and a Thru I have those also Dave! I too have let them sit around, but always come up with a set-up that I need them for. I'm just setting up something I need the quads for!

burningbusch Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I will say that there are some sounds which the Motif series does much better, e.g. Kronos guitars aren't even close. So depending on what sounds you use, you may want to hold on to the Motif rack. Try the Jensen Guitar samples. I licensed these from Jensen and they are available for free to Kronos users. It's a mix of acoustic and electric guitars. I prefer them to most of the Yamaha sounds as they aren't as compromised and some of the electrics are sampled through the amps. There are close to 200 sample libraries available at the Korg Web Store plus others for free as you can find at purgatorycreek.com and other places. The Kronos is an extraordinarily expandable keyboard. http://www.purgatorycreek.com/page17/styled/page14/page3.html Busch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
