For the record on Kronos voice structure:
- HD1 rompler is 8 multisamples × 2 OSC
- AL1 (VA synth) is 2 OSC x 2 instances
- MOD7 (FM synth) is 8 operator,
-- waveshaping
-- all DX7 algorithms
-- freely routable
Further, each program is actually a double program. You can combine either 2 rompler engines, or mix and match any of the synth engines. Also includes a drum track.
Combinations have 16 programs + 2 audio IN + 2 USB in.
12 freely routable Insert FX
2 Master FX (send/return)
2 Total FX (multi band compressor, etc)
Songs/sequences add 8 tracks audio to the Combination structure.
Kronos, like Integra, has full MIDI multimode implementation. Any of 16 programs can be assigned to any MIDI channel, allowing splits/layers/note ranges. Kronos as master controller can transmit on any of those 16 zones.
I better stop now, I love tech features. I could write a manual on this. (And practically did for the Alesis Fusion.=)
Man I have a Kronos 2 61 and a MODX8! Thats an unfair comparison lol! I regularly gig with my MODX8 and my keybed has none of the issues.
