I'm very glad you perceive the song and visuals to be serene, calming and aestheticly pleasing. Thank you for sharing your reaction.

Thanks so much for watching, listening, and leaving your positive note.

Hi Paco. Based on feedback from responses below, I believe you are right that it would be the potentiometer. However, the full module replacement was so cheap, it made sense for me to replace the complete unit. This way I would be covered for any other component of that module that might wear out in the future. Good luck.

Thank you. Sorry I don’t have familiarity with the chips. Luckily, my 11 year old original Kronos has not needed anything else and is in fact still working on the same old clock battery, which has not yet been replaced. I expect that to be the next service task. Good luck.

Glad you got to fix it yourself successfully. Thank you for your feedback. I remember some people, even with the original Kronos, were missing the spacers, or maybe they fell out in the packaging. If you didn't see the the heat sinks, they must have been redesigned or moved to a different position. I would think some kind of heat sink would still be needed.. Enjoy your reinvigorated Kronos. From what I've read recently, the Kronos is still in a league of its own as far as features and capabilities.

Hi. The two red color wired harnesses each have a white plug that you pull out via the plastic plug with a small plier as shown in the video. Do not try to pull them out by pulling the red wires to avoid breaking the white plug connectors. There are no screws holding the harness. Screws are only used to fasten the whole controller assembly to the Kronos chassis. Good luck.

@@Halunlimited hmm, on mine, the whole side “assembly” was loose (not the wires) from the main joystick assembly. It seems to be causing the JS-X to not return fully to center. Do you think I need to replace it?

@@JeffPalmer83 I don’t remember anything being loose. If something is loose, if it can’t be carefully tightened (eg via the 4 controller screws) then that loose play might be a problem. I’m not sure which component is loose. Is it the white plug attached to the red wires (I have been referring to it as the wired harness)? If the plug is loose, it might need to be pushed in deeper into the electrical socket. BTW, I have the original 11 year old Kronos (still working great). Maybe you have a newer one, and if the part doesn’t look the same, I may not know about it.

@@Halunlimited So it’s actually the little chip board piece on the side (and the part appears to be identical). So in your “bottom view” screenshot, it’s that whole side assembly in the front/left of the image. It’s like actually pulling loose from the main plastic housing. The wires that go into it are secure, though. Can you tell from your old piece how that side board connects to the main casing?

@@JeffPalmer83 You said, "So in your “bottom view” screenshot, it’s that whole side assembly in the front/left of the image. It’s like actually pulling loose from the main plastic housing." I am looking at the 2:30 video time market for this reference. My "side board" was firm. I don't know if that can also be pushed into the main plastic housing to make it more secure. I would carefully try that. A loose fit implies a loose connection and that is never good. The entire controller assembly part shown in the picture was very low cost, so if the side board does not go in firmer, then it sounds to me like you're better off getting a new replacement unit (with new sideboard already properly attached) as shown in what I received. Please note I am not a Korg rep and I am only giving my opinion based on my best hunch. Good luck.

Hi pyannaguy. The short answer is yes. I believe what you want to do is highlight the Combi on the Setlist you want to add a note to, then hit "Edit" tab at the bottom left of the Set List page, then hit "T Edit Comment" at the top right of the Set List page, then type in your note/comment/text, hit "OK", then drop down the top right Set List Menu Button , hit "Write Set List", then hit "OK." I know, this is a lot of steps. As an unsolicited suggestion, if find yourself modifying or experimenting with any aspect of an important Set List, Program or Combi, I suggest leaving what you start with intact, make a copy of it, rename the copy and work on that version, and then try out your experimental changes. This way if anything gets messed up, you still have your original Program, Combi or Set List intact. It’s very frustrating to lose data and try to reconstruct it. Technically, the “Compare” button should also immediately undo a mistaken entry you might have made, but you have to catch it before entering additional commands/changes beyond that. Best of luck.

Hello. Thank you for your nice words about my tutorial videos and music. I appreciate your taking the time to leave a comment. Some of the equipment you see is quite old like the Yamaha MG82cx Mixer and Yamaha QY100 Music Sequencer which I used as an Arranger Module for backing rhythms. My primary keyboard is the Korg Kronos (Original Version), now 10 years old, and still working great. For the last seven years I have used Yamaha HS8 monitors and find them excellent for clean pure accurate sound for recording purposes. The red box with knobs is a Looper and I no longer use that. My latest addition (not yet seen in the videos) is a Clarett 4Pre Audio Interface which I use with Logic Pro music software to record and multitrack. I like my Kronos Workstation Keyboard because I enjoy being able to select a wide variety of instrument sounds to make a very full sound that is somewhat like having a band or orchestra at your command. The Keyboard Workstation also offers great flexibility for modifying and designing your own sounds. As a composer, this equipment lets me achieve the overall sound effect and feeling that I want, and can also make the process more fun. Quite often, particular instrument sounds in the mix can be inspiring and affect the flow of the composition while writing a melody. I hope that answers what you are interested in. Regards, Hal

Hi Scott. The procedure you would use is the same as described in this video starting at 00:25 and ending at 6:10. Instead of making a Setlist title based on a song title as I did in the demo, you create a Setlist title that serves your custom purpose. For example, I have made custom setlist focussing on certain categories of sounds that I use for certain purposes such as variations of my customized soft sounding pianos, pianos with reverb, pianos with strings, pianos with choral voices, favorite guitars, organs and wind instruments, various karma patterns, and more. Then, when I’m composing or arranging a new song, I have a Go To place to immediately find patches that have a certain sound, feeling or mood I’m after. Yes, the Kronos is a wonderful and fantastic keyboard. Enjoy!

I'm glad you viewed it and thank you for your nice feedback.

So glad you like it and felt the calm mood I had in my imagination.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback. It encourages me to develop my meditative music theme further.

Thank you Mike for watching and leaving your very nice comment.

Thank you for your wonderful words of encouragement. We appreciate that you took the time to write your comment.

Thank you so much for giving our new song release such a high mark and for saying that the theme fits our current time. The relevance of the words, and the emotions so many endure currently, is what prompted us to share it now. We hope that it adds a spirit of hopefulness.

Thanks much!

That is so wonderful that you feel the song the way we were feeling when creating it. Thank you for your nice comment.

Thanks so much for your encouraging comment!

Your positive comment makes me very happy. Thanks for your nice feedback.

Thank you Julie. We're so glad you appreciate the sentiment of the song and like the selection of images that link to the emotions of the lyrics.

Thanks much for your nice comments.

Hi BearKeys. So great to hear from you. Of course I remember you and just stopped by your channel. Today I relaesed a Music Video on YT with my wife singing our original song. Hope you can give it a listen.

Hi Dan. The cardboard pieces (that came with the shipped factory keyboard - or make your own) should be wedged between the front facing side of the keys and the thin metal framing strip that runs along the entire front of all the keys. If you do not insert the cardboard to maintain an approximately 1/16" spacing between the keybed and metal strip, the keybed could could shift and some keys will get stuck to the metal strip. That's why I included this step in the instructions. The cardboard is removed after the keyboard has been reassembled and all the screws are tight to insure no further movement. Glad you got it done under warranty. Enjoy your great instrument!

Hi Hal, do you put spacers along the whole facing front of the keys or is it only several areas you put them in ? How do you get 1/16" cardboard thickness? Thanks

Thank you for listening and writing a supportive comment. I appreciate it.

I'm having the same issue with Detuning, would love to share a video with you

Yes I still have the same Kronos for 9 years.
