Unfortunately, the Kronos doesn't read Nautilus programs. They are obviously trying to tease the Nautilus a bit more with something Kronos might not have. Wavestation Reloaded will sort you out. Speaking of Wavestation, at the time, I had the Yamaha SY99, which has resonant and high pass filters. I remember thinking that I loved the sounds of the Korgs, but I stayed away from them for the very reason that their filters were lacking. Someone did a stellar job replicating the wavestation patches on it, using the AFM Segment Looping.

This guy did a great job recreating the patches for Kronos. You can get them at Wavestation Reloaded.

Nostalgia. Because of your post, I just downloaded it. I didn't have an M1, but I was reminded of the sounds on horror movies scores as I played through the patches. Definitely a few good ones in there!

And for the longest time, I thought Chick Corea was Jeff Goldblum! (Okay, I kid)

Traded up the MODX 7 Plus for Montage 7M....

The Montage M is an elegant beast. I've got all the gear I need, but that doesn't keep me from looking. Great interface. -

I just added Nautilus to backup my Kronos workflow and libraries. Someone asked me for a screen comparison, so I took this shot. -
I still buy CDs, as well as MP3s. I use Windows Media Player to rip CDs to my library. I use my phone and Player Pro app. Great for walking the dogs, working out, etc. I have a vintage sound system in my workout room:

Not true. Just google the release dates. SY77(1989), TG77 (1990), SY99 (1991). i also know because of projects I worked on during those years. I bought the SY77 brand new, in 1989. I did my music for THE BLACK CRYSTAL on it. THIS trailer was done entirely with the 77. In 1991, the SY99 came out. Not only did it contain backwards compatible SY77 ROM samples, but many of the sounds (like the acoustic guitar samples, etc.) were improved over the older SY77 samples. I sold my SY77 after two years of use so I could get the 99, which I scored the movie, DEAD RIGHT on it. Like most of the songs for that, THIS title song, Cloudscape, was done entirely on the 99.

I still use DX/TX sounds. Every time I hear a Taco Bell commercial, I get giddy. I'm glad they do, as long as their sound libraries grow in size (which they do). I like backwards compatibility, so that I can call up sequences from decades ago. I sold my SY77 for an SY99. It had all the SY sounds, but ROM size was doubled. My Fantom FA can play all my XP-50 sounds. My Kronos can play my DX sounds, etc. I was a little miffed that Kronos was not fully Triton compatible. I had the Triton Classic & Triton Studio. The latter, especially, had an amazing sound set, culled from the expansion cards. Including most of the old libraries is good for me. I just need to load in the Factory PCG, if I need those. Most of my Kronos slots are filled with 3rd party samples, as pictured HERE.

I got the Kobol Expander from Behringer. Pretty nice tone and filter. I shot THIS video during my second day with it. -
A multi-engine, Behringer workstation could be very interesting. I would welcome the attempt. The design of this BX-700 is kind of strange. Not as sexy as the Kodomo Essence interface. It is very dependent on what is shown on that screen, which could be good or not. I would certainly check it out. You could do some basic zoning, pitching, etc, but for programming, the Edit Buffer would mirror your editing on the DX7. I would often put all 8 TF-1s into that mode, making one giant sound. Or, you could put any number of modules in that mode, I would often do it with 4, then change over to the other 4, and put a different sound. I did that with this SWEEPERS track, where 4 modules did the pad sweep sound, and the other 4 played the O.SPH plucked sound. My RX5 played a transposed down snare sound. Thanks to the TX816, my FM (PM actually) programming is mostly dependent on the number of adjacent operators (in Multi). Just using Unison doesn't cut it. There have to be minor differences, so there isn't a bunch of phasing. Currently, I have SY99, OASYS and Kronos MOD-7, Akai OPX-4 for PM, Lyra 8 for FM (still figuring the last two out).
