Just wondering if anyone here has tried the Korg Kronos or owns one. People say it is a breakthrough board in terms of sound, but I was wondering if there is anyone out there using it purely for live arranger gigs.

Thanks and regards,

Its a workstation and despite KARMA its still more like the Motif then the Tyros..

Arranger funtions can be programmed in KARMA but will allways be very basic... but even more then that, need to be programmed and created by yourself. There is no library with 45000 Yamaha styles available nor an easy way to convert these to KARMA programs.

Youll never have arranger intros and endings.

So the answer is no, KRONOS is not a replacement for an Arranger, but more an evolved version of a Synth Workstation. With 9 different synth engines and KARMA that allow for unimmaginable creativity when creating your own music, but much less suited for arranger gigs where you try to copy other peoples music.
