How to Edit Grand Pianos on the Korg Kronos

[@frankhanley6576]

Thanks so much. Your presentation was one of the first clear and understandable tutorials I have watched on the Kronos. Most other tutorials have lame background music, shakey, blurry cameras, and important steps omitted. I wonder if you have any tutorials on writing sequences or RPPR's? Again, Thanks. This was very helpful! 👍

[@DojoOfCool]

As a new Kronos owner this was very helpful. Thanks.

[@richardmiller191]

Great video! Thanks for posting. It's amazing how many different variables they come up with to edit. Pretty soon they will have one for if you're sitting at the front of the piano bench or the back!! LOL

[@deyviscruz8091]

Thank you so much for that tutorial¡¡¡ it really helped a lot, I'M going to practice right away. Hope to see more tutorials about korg kronos, I bought it just a month ago and I love it ¡¡¡¡

[@darrickkeels6387]

I certainly do have more coming. Thanks for watching!

@@darrickkeels6387 Hello sir, I really liked the piano sounds, could you give me some lessons to edit sounds, I have the same keyboard

[@kevinschyf3795]

Another great vid, thanks again for taking the time to do these!

[@darrickkeels6387]

My pleasure. I love making this kind of content.

[@isaacfanai2006]

Just looking through your Kronos stuff (I'm a Kronos user myself) love the channel man keep up the good work!

[@darrickkeels6387]

Thank you. I appreciate it. More Kronos videos to come.

[@scottweber2413]

Fantastic information! Thank you so much!!

[@PJRII]

Thanks Darrick, very helpful.

[@SoothingJazz88]

nicely done! Thank you. I’m not seeing the setting where you can adjust the volume across the keyboard so that your higher notes can be a little lower volume than the low notes. Don’t recall what that’s called but I’ve had it in other keyboards.

[@myravos2664]

Excellent Tutorial!

[@matthewpugh9175]

How do I add a sustain pedal? I bought a second hand kronos and have no manual with it. It’s so vast I don’t know where to start.

[@darrickkeels6387]

The sustain pedal goes in the "damper" jack in the back. If you find the sustain function is reversed you can change the damper polarity in the global parameters of the Kronos.

[@irenenava3475]

Same thing with our church's kronos. This is such a specific request, exactly the answer we needed. Thank you so much!!!!

[@singletonentertainment9037]

Thank you! This was very helpful! 🔥🔥

[@birendraekka4812]

If we need sustain effect.. which effect should we use??? Without using sustain pedal and increasing release value??

[@wbiro]

Nice coverage. Just a pronunciation hint: the Berlin piano is made in Berlin... on Velocity Intensity, it seems that from what you've shown (and struggled to explain), the Velocity Intensity should have been named the Touch Sensitivity Range Shift (touch sensitivity usually operating on 'velocity'), since the 'range' does not change in a narrow/wide sense, but in a shifting sense (the same range shifted toward the quiet end of the spectrum or the or loud end of the spectrum).

[@Michbigheart]

Hi ! Could you please make a tutorial how to create a piano program from scratch using kronos internal multisample, building a 8 layer multissample PROGRAM not COMBI ? Thanks you !

[@Bashanvibe]

You make getting around the Kronos look simple!!! Idk if it’s because I’m familiar with the Triton work flow!!! Do you have any videos on sound design with synth?

[@tooutaisaactimoteo4526]

Massive help! Is there any certain settings or way to mute/shut off the ring on the piano? I have a real bad problem of certain high notes with such a loud ring behind them. I understand that by default a real piano doesn’t have any damper or felts and so Korg is aiming for as close to that as possible... but the ring is very obvious and annoying when trying to play mono keys in a live church setting.

[@dawie1968]

Thanks so much, really helped ..

[@darrickkeels6387]

My pleasure!

[@birendraekka4812]

Hello sir.. in my Kronos 2 .... key C4 is having some issue... I have to apply more force than other key key to play the key C4... What would be the problem??? It's only happening only with SGX2 engine with other engine is fine..

[@sliezsky]

Super video, thank you.

How do i change the type of reverb?

[@freddyperezmusicentertainment]

GOOD INFO, ON A COMPLICATED MACHINE, BUT THE BEST.

How about the SE version. How do get one

[@boricua77]

I can sell my SE 73.

Hello, Is This piano in the Kronos? The sounds in the Kronos seems very dynamique, is it a good deal in 2020? Thank you very much.

[@darrickkeels6387]

A very good deal

[@sakhyaprema-livingoutofthe7083]

Not sure with the Fantom 8 going for a similar cost???

[@brianlewis5360]

Plenty of mint condition Kronos keyboards for sale around $2300 to $2400. Way more value dollar for dollar vs the Montage or New Fantom.

[@freddyperezmusicentertainment]

@@brianlewis5360 I jus got one from GC for $2000.00 great condition

[@robertmichalscheck3072]

I’m thinking bout getting a Kronos,but am not much of a techie guy,do you think I will be able to use the Kronos,edit sounds,etc?

[@darrickkeels6387]

No you do not have to be super "techy" to operate the Kronos. There is a bit of a learning curve if you are not used to it though. The difficulty comes in when you desire to more than scratch the surface. The Korg Kronos is the most powerful workstation on the market today and tapping into all of that power is not easy. The manual is over 1100 pages! What do you plan to do with your Kronos? Live work, studio work, sampling, controlling other gear?

[@robertmichalscheck3072]

Darrick Keels I just play music at home,I write my own songs and want to record them via daw I guess or whatever means I can,I want to have a variety of sounds to access,piano,strings,pads synths,etc,and be able to edit the sounds,mainly piano,get it nuanced to my liking,I’d also like to have drums and a bass line that follows your playing,for practicing kind of like a rythym section I guess,I like to layer sounds sometimes and be able to control volume of layer with a pedal while I’m playing,there’s a lot I want to do.

[@WarrenPostma]

@@robertmichalscheck3072 For the less techy people you'll find that learning a board like the Kronos is easier in fact than managing your way around a very complex soft-synth system.

[@aftabahmad-yr9ys]

Probably not! I have spent months to know even the basics and I am techie guy.It is not user friendly extremely difficult.Try Yamaha Montage 8

[@kevinschyf3795]

I realize you have probably already made your decision, but am just seeing this now and wanted to log my opinion for others to see. The Kronos is very easy to learn and use if you are just using the sounds as Korg created them. And the sounds, as Korg created them, are amazing! Any Keyboard is hard to learn how to manipulate and customize for a non techie. The beauty of the Kronos is you can decide to tweak and customize as deeply as you want. But most importantly, the board is nicely laid out, and very easy to use right out of the box.

[@PUREMediaChannel1]

Great tutorial!!!!! Thank you

How to change the Attack please?

[@darrickkeels6387]

The attack cannot be adjusted in the SGX-2 sound engine. The samples for each was recorded with the natural decay of the piano meaning they are unlooped samples. Therefore you cannot really extend the attack because the natural decay of a piano does not happen in a linear fashion but is far more dynamic. If you wish to adjust attack on the pianos in the Kronos you will have to use the looped samples in the HD-1 sound engine. But you will lose all of the parameters that are in the SGX-2 sound engine. Or you could import the samples from the SGX-2 sound engine into the HD-1 sound engine then adjust the envelope as you see fit but my guess it that it will not give you the desired result you seek.

How to edit release time of piano in combi mode..

[@darrickkeels6387]

You can't. You have to edit the piano's release time on Program Mode, save the piano and then bring it into your Combi.

[@birendraekka4812]

[@gb3496]

The Kronos pianos are NOT modeled...

[@darrickkeels6387]

They are not 100% modeled no. But they do have modeled enhancements like string resonance, hammer noise, mechanical noise, etc. So, it's like a hybrid. Unlike the Montage which uses samples for mechanical noises and such and has no string resonance.

[@gb3496]

@@darrickkeels6387 It is my understanding that the only thing modeled on the Kronos pianos is the string resonance. All others are sampled - which is why it sounds so good.
