Bachus, No one knocked the Kronos or even a 30 year old Casio that will also play VST's...

My point was no one showed any interest in Chris's post..

But since you wanted to make the comparison... No the Kronos or any other workstation can do what the $350 Code61 can....
They are not dedicated controllers.. They all lack something, some a lot...

No pads on the Kronos, No banks or layers of control for buttons, sliders, knobs, or pads...
No transport control..
No(auto) mapping benefits to all your VST's..
No bang for the buck, and free VST's along with VIP software.....ALL for $350,,,

Maybe I misunderstood your point...but I appreciate the response..
