richforman Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I saw a guy using some kind of stylus in one of the video tutorials, anybody use something like to get around on a Kronos that rather than finger-jabbing? If so, what kind? Looking forward to posting lots more Kronos-related questions here in the days ahead!

Song80s Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I saw a guy using some kind of stylus in one of the video tutorials, anybody use something like to get around on a Kronos that rather than finger-jabbing? If so, what kind? Looking forward to posting lots more Kronos-related questions here in the days ahead! A stylus is more accurate. I have 2. One is like a pointer, slightly heavier and it works great. Other one is the typical rubber tipped type- this one is thicker than most. Easy to find when it drops to the floor. Your office store should have a good selection. Why fit in, when you were born to stand out ?

EscapeRocks Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 i just picked up an inexpensive "Targus" stylus at Target. I use it for my iPad when mixing my X-Air XR12. I also tested it on my older Korg M50. Works great! David Gig Rig:Depends on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthoid Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Oh. Your subject line says: Styles for Kronos touch-screen I thought perhaps there are new themes you can download. Sigh.

bennyray Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I bought one from Staples and works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richforman Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Okay, I had no idea if something more specialized was needed, have never used or purchased a stylus at all, I'm now sensing this was in the "dumb question" category, to Staples it is!

burningbusch Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I highly recommend using your fingernail to select vs. fingertip. Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richforman Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 I also didn't realize on my first session sitting down with the instrument, that there is a "calibrate touch screen" function intended to be used first (saw this when reading the Quick Start PDF online this morning); that would probably make the whole touch screen experience better for me right off the bat, but I'll still pick up a stylus, seems like it will be a lot faster and more precise in any case.

bennyray Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Speaking of the KRONOS Rick Wakeman is using 2 Kronos on his ARW tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richforman Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Yes, saw that awesome video of him talking about it. I always love hearing Wakeman speak just about as much as I do hearing him play, always funny and endearing.

bennyray Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Rich, You really should check out Busch Eps. They are really nice. I like the Mark 1. All are good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richforman Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Thanks Benny! I am going to be doing a lot of work on my new axe, so making it easier and faster will make a big difference.
