The MS loaded with my 1 gig Steinway B giga sample and the Native Instruments B4 ( with the Lionstracs B4 interface) are unmatched by any other piano and organ sounds to date...

Just this capability is enough for me to use the MS...



I'm guessing Fran, but you have the 76-note Mediastation (as in Nedim's picture above)?

Latency is a real issue with most VST's and controller keyboards, plus some keyboards/workstations as well...are you saying you found the Kronos has some latency?

With the B4 interface, are you able to assign Mediastation sliders to control all nine drawbars? That would be cool.

Also, how does the MS's semi-weighted action work for both piano sounds and organ sounds...on par with the way your G-70 handles them?

In other words, is it a good compromise for both?
