@@jae6220 I largely agree with you. If I do any real sample editing, it's in something like Audacity, and I import into the Kronos for final assignment.

@ that’s my strategy too. I like the sequencer it’s a great tool if you have audio you want to turn into midi via the sampler and take advantage of the sequencer features. But I always cut my samples in something else. I use wavlab.

@@chasejarvis7788 It does matter - the Kronos and the XS use different engines entirely and the sounds are not cross-compatible. You'd need a Korg Kronos for these sounds!

Yes, I'm still working on getting the site back up and running, but if you email me ([email protected]) we can figure out something!

@@sbirrito I was speed running the intro!

@@bardsanindustries7447 Apologies!! If it's too fast for you, you can play the video at slower speeds!

Korg Kronos

@@chrismanlawe2528 Well... That's a bit of a complicated answer. Synth ROM wave files aren't standardized. I mean, a saw wave is pretty standard but when you get into things like choir or vocal sound, they're different from one synth to another. (Yamaha, Kurzweil, Roland, Nord, etc. all have different sample ROMs for their synth) This means a "vocal" sample is only a name, but doesn't really mean anything; it's just a descriptor of the sample but doesn't define the sample itself. Herein lies the issue: I've built these sounds myself. I've used various filters, samples, etc. to get the results you're hearing but if I said "Vocal layer #6" it means nothing. I hope you understand what I mean here. I could tell you what layers I used but even if you have a Kronos, you still need to know filter parameters, envelope settings, volume settings, pitches, and so on to even begin to get close, and that's only true for a Kronos or Nautilus which has similarly named samples. I know this is a bit of a non-answer but I hope it's at least informative!

@@AudoraAudio thanks for the advice. I totally get what you mean. I’m layering 3 patches on my Roland Fantom 07 but it’s still missing something that I can’t seem to tweak enough. It’s decent but could do better. Thanks anyway! Greatly appreciated

Oh by the way, do you read notes? Musicnotes has the notation for the intro so you can play both the Cello part and the intro part perfectly. You don’t even need to buy the notation, the first page is free to just screenshot. The rest of the song is easy.

I got you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKarXmqIpqqem7M

That's not quite the point of wave sequences. A wave sequence happens at the HD-1 waveform level. It changes the underlying waveform in a specific manner. Once you've edited a wave sequence, it becomes a waveform for all intents. The effects that you're asking for happen at the program level (IFX/MFX/TFX) and aren't a function of the wave sequence itself. Definitely not useless, but it probably doesn't work how you want it to. Depending on what you're trying to do, there's likely a way though.

Oh get you thanks very much... can you make a drum pattern using it too?

I'm knew to this keyboard and it's so hard to work out... step sequencer and common sequencer confuse me don't know the difference

Hey! Congrats on the Nautilus, it's a great machine. Funny enough, any sounds that use the engines that aren't the HD1 engine are compatible, but if you have a sound that's programmed in the HD1 engine, they will work... But: the sounds are offset. Like... In the Kronos, the saw sound might be on 1541 but I'm the Nautilus it's 1885. So Kronos sounds CAN work but the HD1 stuff needs adapting. About the sound switching: Go to Global mode and look for the Foot switch, you want to set it to Program Increment or similar. It will allow you to step forward through the sounds in program, combi, or setlist mode. The pads are a touch more complicated... The Nautilus is missing some of the functions of the Kronos. Karma, for example, doesn't work the same. (Stephen Kay, the genius behind Karma, is no longer supporting it. I don't think it's licensed by Korg anymore so they had to drop it and fall back to something else.) Some other functions are also missing, but I didn't realize the pad support is gone! In the Kronos, there's a dedicated page just to the pads (a legacy function of the Korg Oasys) so you just plug in the Nanopad and it works. My friend has an Nautilus, so I'll have to ask him about that and see if there's a workaround. Let me know if you have questions, I'll help however I can! ([email protected] to get me directly)

@@AudoraAudio Thank you Dave for the swift response, really appreciated. I purchased the Africa sound from your website and digged into your sound setup and it is really amazing, you even setup a timbre for single notes to get that flute, bell whatever sound. I would have never figured out this. But it sounds really like the Africa sound ! Regarding the pads: I read all the forum entries but I think there is no way to get around easily. The way I will follow up now are the RPPR patterns. The downside is that they work in a sequencer mode only. But in a sequencer mode you cannot use a footswitch to change the song. puh !

I have a second foot pedal set to "Increment up" so when I click the pedal, the keyboard steps to the next sound in the list!

This is a Korg Kronos!

This is a Korg Kronos!! Very capable keyboard. I still play live with it!

No drums, only the keyboard sounds!

Yup! The Kronos 2 has all of the sounds as the Kronos 1, and they're identical. The sounds are just in different places on the Kronos 2

@@AudoraAudio Got it, Thanks a lot!

I'm still around, but life has taken a turn and I haven't been able to do videos as much as I used to. The desire is still there and I may get back to it someday!

​​​@@AudoraAudio All the best , i hope you will come back 😃

Hi there, Not as often anymore, but that doesn't mean I have stopped. Email me if you're interested, perhaps we can set something up! [email protected]

@@AudoraAudio I will definitely do that. 👍👍
