Location: Discovery Bay (San Francisco Bay Area) It plays, feels and sounds like a real piano. The Kronos pianos sound good but the sensitivity is all wrong and the pianos cut out and the pianos do not resonate properly together. I think Korg has a way to go before they get it right. If Korg is King? Why do so many Real professionals play Nord Roland and Yamaha? Professional artists have all the money in the world and they dont own a Kronos. If you have the need for such complex stacks of sounds you are better off sampling your creations and reload to a bank.an easy easy fix. Good luck going to another brand, kronos is king i can assure you. Sounds like your pushing the kronos to the extreme. Some patches have layers or nuances that are barely heard the can be turned off to save pretty major polyphony. Resampling these really heavy things is a good way to manage this situation if you really need all that piled up, but for everything I've needed to do for my work I've been able to manage by slimming the patches down or doing less. The Kronos note stealing engine is as good as any I've used as it tries to figure out what notes are contributing the least - i.e. If you are burning 12 notes per key which can happen with poorly chosen patches, that means you get about 12 keys pressed before you are stealing. There are some pads I've played with that take 8 voices per key press - that's going to take a bite out. Usually the eXs ones are worse than the eXi ones in this way. You can use this tool to see what sounds are killing you and probably pick other ones that sound 90% the same but are easier on polyphony. Using the performance meters tab will show you just how much you are using. That said, the keyboard is flexible enough that you can burn it all up in just a note or two if you load too much up.Įvery layer that simultaneously sounds eats up multiple notes of polyphony, depending on what's going on. The Kronos has more polyphony capability than almost any keyboard on the planet.

I'm a professional pianist, it's not like I only play three notes at a time. I've never ever had them on the "big sampled pianos". That's no "fix", obviously there are limits and they're easy to reach if you ignore all that, but you can definitely get around without "major" note dropouts. I have owned 5 flagship Korg workstations and want to keep my business with Korg.Īll you need to do is be aware of how CPU intensive the various engines and features are. Sold my Kronos and either I will buy a Nord 3 or very patiently wait for a Kronos successor. Note drop outs were most noticed on the big sampled pianos. Like the sounds were great but the sensitivity and blending of the notes seemed very unrealistic. Updated all the firmwares, fan update and OS updates. I even updated the ram, put in a SSD that had 2x the write and read speeds. I'm sure Jordan Rudess isn't having polyphony issues.lol. I've turned off the level meters, as well. And though it does help, I shouldn't have to do that. I've had to resort to sampling chords to one key in order to help out. I've done everything that some posted in a recent forum post and still I'm getting dropouts. When stacking a few EXi synths(Stab Saw, Double Screamer or Unison Stab Saw, to name a few) or Electric Pianos split with 2 brass sounds layered, I'm getting MAJOR note dropouts. I'm hoping a firmware fix can help this but I seriously doubt KORG will even take this serious. I am a KORG user since the M1.never really had any polyphony problems like I'm having with the original KRONOS.
