Very much needed information..purchased this monster board 1yr ago..and a fine music investment it is.I'm not a tech guy,but a church aux board player,but end up being the main player most times.Love your common sense guidance for the myriad of possibilities that one can make happen with this board.
Thank you for all of this, bro! I recently took the dive into the Kronos after being a loyal Yamaha dude for the last few years. Passed on the Montage and didn't expect this level of confusion. LOL
Yeah the Kronos is a lot different than the Montage. I must say it is easier to layer sounds on the Montage than the Kronos. What made you pass on the Montage?
Love the stuff on your channel would you be ever interested in sharing your patches and goin in depth with synthesis? I'm a church keyboardist too and am using the Kronos and I'm just curious on how other fellow musicians use it.
What's interesting to me as an owner of an old Triton series keyboard, is how much of what I already know will still be usable knowledge if I move up to Kronos from the old Triton. The combi system, and most of it's parameters are the same on Kronos, but the touch screen is in color now. The Kronos menu system is really deep and really well designed. You have a lot of sliders in the Kronos so you can just mix your parts with the sliders, as well. Have you triggered external midi gear from combis? A layer/split that plays an external synth on a certain keyboard sub range?
So true. I had a Triton Extreme and still own a Korg M50 (the "baby brother" to the M3) and yes the operating systems are nearly identical. I have messed with the Krome a bit and it too is close to the Kronos in operation. And yes I have setup combis before and had certain channels playing external gear.
I was thinking the same thing when I first saw this!!! I had the first gen triton and I knew my way around the trinity which was the flagship of touch screen technology!!!
The short answer would be the "Japanese Grand" presets. Yamaha pianos are brighter than their German equivalents and therefore they "cut through" better, kind of like a piccolo can be heard while a full orchestra is playing. With that said, any of the pianos can be edited using a vast array of EQ and compression settings to stand out in a dense mix. This may mean they sound good in the mix but not individually. Now that I do more live sound engineering, I've really learned that if a piano is not cutting through, it's simply a bad mixing job. Sometimes guitars have to come down or stay out of the sonic spectrum that the piano is supposed to occupy. A piano was originally developed as a solo instrument as an alternative to the harpsichord. Hence, it has all 88 notes and is capable of playing full chords, bass lines, and melodies. Naturally, they don't "cut through." They must be mixed appropriately by a FOH engineer or studio engineer to get to the desired result. And that normally means bring other band members' volume down and / or limiting their overall dynamic range.🙂
one question, can you save up to multiple sound layers you created meaning not just one model with brasss bass piano but another model with different layers, and recall them?
Hello Sir... suppose I have 16 instruments in combi mode..Is it possible to use 7EQ effect with different settings for each instrument??? Which means my IFX 1-12 is all 7EQ effect.. now is it possible to use another effect..as all the IFX 1-12 is already used..
@@birendraekka4812 Indeed. One insert can be used on multiple instruments though. Also you can take advantage of the master effects with sends so that you are not using up insert effects for things like reverb. But the Kronos lacks the processing power to have 16 different inserts on each channel.
