Korg Kronos "Jarre" Combi Pack - Dan Stesco 'Polymoog'

[@DjMulen]

Man... what a great job!!! Congratulations!

[@gjc82071]

Dan Stesco makes AWESOME patches/programs. Also, you won't find a nicer guy, anywhere. He's polite, friendly, helpful....a real class act & a true, synth lover.

[@DigitalMusicXpress]

If Jarre had one of these back in '76, man he would have come up with some wicked stuff that's for sure!!!

[@narq5099]

It sounds EXACTLY like the album! And brings me back to a long time ago, in Houston, watching and listening to Jarre do a show on the sides of the downtown skyscrapers. Our seats were safety rails on the freeway! Anyway, sounds freaking amazing.

[@hedegaard8]

Narq Wish I had been at Houston. I was in Sun City South Africa in 91’ I think, that was a great concert too.

[@hautewire]

agreed! I had some thing playing of a Kronos list Then went into another I have to read about other tutorials and info… And KZbin kept playing in the background and suddenly this was playing and I thought it was the og thing bravo.

[@hgn2217]

Thank you for quickly responding to my email and sending these J.M. Jarre patches! I loaded your patches (Combi & Programs) and did try them a few minutes. Your patches are very sophisticate! It looks like you have use Karma extensively to implement some patterns and arpeggios so essential to make an orchestra out of the Kronos without using the Kronos sequencer! I am familiar with the Korg Triton Extreme but newly bought a good used Kronos, I know nothing about Karma (in the Kronos). For sure it will be a steep learning curve for me. I believe I could learn many important features of the Kronos by using your patches, your KZbin videos and by practicing J.M. Jarre's songs. It will take many days to learn the programming technique embedded in your Combis and Programs. It will help me know how to exploit many advanced features in the Korg Kronos. Bravo and thank you very much!

[@Gnosis4you]

this is the BEST DEMO !!! Thank's for upload ! & Greatings from Greece !

[@polymoog800]

Thank you very much for kind words. I'm glad that you like the JMJ pack. I will prepare the new Kronos Sound Pack soon with more JMJ Combis including your requests. Cheers, Dan

[@polymoog800]

Hello David and thank you for kind words. This pack can be load in any Kronos. I don't use a special samples. All sounds are coming from internal resources. Actually Kronos can emulate the analog sounds very well with MS20 ,Al1 and HD1 technology as so... If you will have a Kronos I will send the pack for you free. Cheers, Dan

[@NewPOV]

Dan, I want you to know that this KZbin video is what convinced me to buy the Kronos. A "music workstation" is kind of a bad word in synth-land, but you make it so obvious that this is a serious synth -- and that your amazing programming talent brings the Kronos to a level that nobody else has done. NOBODY. I hope you do more Jarre-inspired patch/combi-work...and I'd be happy to pay for it! Would love to see Chronologie 4, anything off of Metamorphosis, Industrial Revolutions,etc. NICE JOB!

[@mistersparks1973]

Bravo, sir! Take a bow! It's great that you took the time to deconstruct your performance. I'm taking delivery of a Kronos in a few weeks, and will be watching this video again.

[@earshotful]

You have "golden ears", superb programming skills, and give a talented performance! You deserve success. Encore! Paul

[@Lavallin2012]

Super playing and great sounds Dan ... very well done! Thanks for posting ... the Kronos is a superb instrument ;-)

[@TheSnowwraith]

I have had this video bookmarked for 2 years now and I still love watching you play. It is the reason I bought a Kronos. Fantastic!

[@Wulfcry]

Dan experience in creating a wide variety of soundscape give really incredible patches and he's an awesome musician.

[@Dan_ClarkeMusic]

You are an absolute genius! Amazing programming and performance! Korg should hire you to work on the next workstation they release :-)

[@hgn2217]

Fantastic! I bought the LP Oxygen in 1976, it transformed me from a electric guitar player to a synthesizer (not electric piano) player! Thanks to J.M.Jarre. Now thank to you, I bought a Korg Kronos! Fantastic demo!

[@polymoog800]

+hg n Thank you. Please contact me on : [e-mail] . Will send the JMJ Kronos Pack if you want to play :-) Best regards, Dan

[@vicachcoup]

Many thanks for the sounds Dan. I am amazed by your programming!

[@zark212]

Thank you Dan. really appreciate your time. Absolutely brilliant video.

[@bio-metric-1016]

You were recommended to me on the montage group on Facebook we’re have I been all my life your amazing 🤩

[@arlowest]

Dan, your sound is perfect! I am a long time Jarre fan. Congratulations on your work it is outstanding. I see you have a number of old analog synths as well. I suesd to be a collector and my prize possesion was a Steiner Parker.

[@Mediachance]

This is the best use of Karma I ever saw on Korgs.!!!

[@fUjiMaNia]

Stesco Dan ... you're my new Hero for putting together these great Jarre combos. Congrats man!

[@liviou2004]

Thank you so much Dan for this incredible work. Just tried your pack in my Kronos 2. It's really incredible. Congratulations.

[@lapasteque868]

Incredible !! i'm a french guy and i know perfectly Jarre's sound, it's again a huge work that you made,

[@G_u_g_l_i]

Good Job! Fantastic Sounds, thank you Dan

[@emptyvesselnz]

this sounds very very impressive and a great performance, fantastic job!

[@synthman66]

Great job brother. Brought a tear to my eye!

[@AlexTecladista]

synthman66 I also is perfect is a dream learn to program well.

[@Petsublak]

Brilliant work as always! Those sounds are spot on, great playing as well.....!

[@Amanet13]

Wow it’s been a while since i got my Korg Kronos and Dan gave me this pack.Whata grate guy.Thank you Dan even if i sold Korg

[@teotripo]

Nu am cuvinte! Esti super tare! Recomand video-ul celor de la KORG!

[@SilviuAStanciu]

Urmărind acest clip realizez cată complexitate există în produsele Korg, din care "curg" efectiv valuri de sunete din ce în ca mai atractive. Totul pare simplu, în aparență, prin dibăcia hitech-menestrelului - dacă îmi este permis să folosesc această combinație, deși aici e vorba de mult mai mult - așadar prin dibăcia lui Dan Stesco, care readuce în actualitate muzica lui Jarre. Mă simt atât de special că dețin un produs al acestei binecunoscute firme - Korg - deși mă aflu doar la început de drum. Acest clip cât și multe altele despre clapele Korg mă ajută să descopăr cât de frumoasă este această familie, pentru că, da, comunitatea Korg este o familie, alături de care poți obține experiențe inedite. Felicitări pentru acest clip, felicitări pentru activitatea desfășurată și am convingerea că voi fi mereu surprins la modul plăcut de produsele acestei firme.

[@moisebogdan5508]

Dan, you are the best JMJ from Romania

[@madaboutretro]

I purchased these from Dan, wow I loved using them, I felt like Jarre for the day 🎁🙏🎉🎈

[@AndroiMIDIArranger]

Jos pălăria! Felicitări pentru combiuri, ştiu şi ce înseamnă să programezi Karma, nu e lucru uşor. Outstanding!!!

[@saryan155]

The quality of the sound is crystal clear

[@DanielMorales-qp8rf]

I am amzed by the power of this workstation and Dan Stesco's performance. The Korg Kronos is by far the best workstation on the market. I think the yamaha Montage is great but doesnt comenear the flexibility that you have with a Kronos.

[@ohnhai]

Just watched oxygen live and it always amazes me that we've gone from needing a literal (large) room FULL of machines and several artists to perform this music live to a single small machine.. Ain't technology wonderful I'd love a Kronos. (But I can't play so while 'fun' it would be an utter waste)

[@mysterio77690]

très impressionné! un travail de dingue pour un résultat parfait! très grand bravo!

[@RasikaWickramage]

Beautiful! Greetings from Toronto!

[@polymoog800]

Thank you. Happy New Year!

[@MrPartzz]

That's awesome Dan.....now if I could make my M50 sound like that... :-)

[@MrRoal10]

Amazing! Thank you very much for sharing and for the great sound pack. I am impressed what one can do on the Kronos. Well, seeing what is possible is a great motivation to continue to learn using mine. Thanks!

[@matthewberry201]

ahhh takes me back to the 80s

[@loui7196]

Amazing! Greetings from Hungary!

[@minsky57]

Thank you Dan.I to have not long brought a Kronos 88 the first sounds to try we're from you very impressed I am

[@thomass.eiselberg8395]

Excelenta prezentatie! Am auzit de tine mentionat in unele Korg forums dar asta ie prima data cind vad video. Ce spun ieste adevarat...Bravo! Si sigur osa obtin programele pentru Kronos al meu. (Heh, that's the first time I've written in Romanian in more than 20 years :)

[@steveo1964]

Thanks for replying Dan, i had an idea it would not work, but i was just hoping it would with some tweaking its all new to me, only just bought the triton second-hand off ebay, and just feeling my way around it yes i know its old now but quite young compared to my old roland D-10, a Kronos is way out of my budget at the moment. Anyway fine work you have done there thanks for sharing this excellent video, I cant stop playing it it sounds so good. Keep up the good work to us newbies your a GOD.

[@salvolama7768]

Ottimo lavoro Dan sei un grande..grazie per questo regalo

[@asid1966]

Great work! I was enjoying your playing and explanation. Thanks, man!

[@johnford6921]

Absolutely gob smacking ( means very, very good indeed then some) the sounds and sequences are right on the money, so close that it does not matter, all that JMJ compositions coming from one keyboard synth is amazing and 21c for sure, I need to be able to download the entire Kronos into my Triton Extreme, Korg can do anything, they do not have problems they are the masters and winners.

[@sander8928]

Amazing..! I saw your video because I'm researching the differences between the Nord Stage 2 and the Korg Kronos. Just superb how you tame this beast :)

[@gilmuller8751]

Fantastique travail Dan! Vraiment remarquable!

[@polymoog800]

Multumesc pentru raspuns. Mult noroc.

[@lequader]

Vraiment félicitation pour ce pack JMG. Et un grand merci pour le partage.

[@theelevatepartnership]

Fantastic job, I amazed the copyright police haven't come knocking given it is such an excellent cover version. Very impressive! Kudos!

[@polymoog800]

Thank you Paul ! Actually the KZbin set this video as ineligible for monetisation due the copyright. They not include in a cover category even I open a claim for a years so I gave up.

[@PiotrZylbert]

Fantastic!!! Greetings, Piotr.

[@polymoog800]

Multumesc pentru apreciere. Va tin la curent cu noutati.

[@dige86]

Your sounds are fantastic!!! Wow!!

[@123gwenners]

Keep up with your very best performance Dan! It still sounds great and your investment have undoubtly brought a lot of joy to all of us Korg users etc. Thanks a lot for your giving heart, sharing your skill and dedicated hard work of programming and playing performance. All the best from one the happy music enthusiasts :-) Oslo, Norway

[@jamesedinger4956]

I'm going to have to set my Kronos up with this and practice. I can foresee lots of weekends spent with that tune in my head.

[@polymoog800]

Write me an e-mail. Will send the pack :-)

[@Igor4189]

It's like a fairy tale! You are a great musician!

[@Scrumper66]

Good job Dan! et thanks for explanations of songs!!! very good !

[@lellasina4519]

beautiful

[@zzzxtreme]

Roland and yamaha got to come up with something shockingly amazing to compete. Motif and fantom successor is long overdue

[@polymoog800]

Yes. My website is danstesco.ro Keep in touch. Cheers, Dan

[@duperdude25]

Really fantastic job. I am more into synthesis of Kronos, but you got that under your sleave plus the karma and automation. I hope one day I'll have time to dive in there. Truly great job. Thank you for sharing the file on the Karma site. If you're looking in aquiring Eminent 310U SF2 files I'll be happy to send them to you. If you want to buy Eminent 310U, I can put you in touch with a fellow who sold one to me from Holland he shipped it to California. Thank you my friend. Awesome!

[@polymoog800]

Thank you very much Mr. Gates.

[@vicachcoup]

The spacy background sounds are amazing. You make the Kronos live up to its high price and reputation. Would love to have those sounds to see how they are programmed/ split etc. Those 'fall-down' sounds are particulary good.

[@RobyRND]

Incredible job! very compliments.

[@polymoog800]

Thank you.I'm glad to enjoy.

[@pcuimac]

I am now on it and learning the chords and melodies. Big thx man!

[@polymoog800]

Unfortunately not. Some sounds can be converted. Especially for Triton with MOSS EXB. Some combi work with 4 arpeggiators, drum track, step sequencer and chord voice assign mod. Is a ability of Kronos. You should thinking on upgrade. :-)

[@alphasxsignal]

Very nice sounds. Will have to add this to my sound collection after I get my Kronos X and some other keyboards arrangers etc setup in my new studio.

[@MusicalesScketch]

Eres un Crack que buenos sonidos le sacas pienso comprar un para mediados del 2013 pero he visto que el de 5 octavas sus teclas son mas livianas que el de 6 bueno un saludo de Lima - Perú y un Feliz Año!!! Stesco Dan

[@polymoog800]

Thank you for replay. I already worked some Pink Floyd setup for M3 and microSTATION (On The Run and Crazzy Diamond). If you need some special Pink Floyd sound write me an email and I try to do it for you. About Korg programming I'm already work in the team. Some my presets combi and programs can be find in the microSTATION and Krome.

[@Whackatronix]

Outstanding! Hoping to get my Korg Kronos X in the next few weeks. Last Workstation I had was Korg Triton 61 in 2002 so long time and big leap for me. Just waiting to see what NAMM 2013 brings up shortly first.

[@c.simonis123]

Wow Dan... Very impressive. You rock!

[@c.simonis123]

Also takes less space than his studio 😀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/maWymaqIfMmJrNE

[@markusfuller]

Hi Dan. Brilliant work there. you must have spent a lot of time making those sounds & combis up. I have the 88key kronos but wish i have bought the 61 key version as i prefer the synth keys to the piano keys. Thankyou for sharing this video and your skill. best wishes from markus.

[@polymoog800]

Multumesc. Colectia apartine M&C music. Au un adevarat muzeu Korg. Am sa incerc sa fac ceva cu ele cat de curand.

[@crisomelido]

Tremenda interpretación !!!... saludos enormes desde chile

[@Shuttle74]

Felicidades!! Si, si que he disfrutado con tus covers... ;-)))) Saludos!!

[@SergeySedlovsky]

Dude, you fucking rocked Jarre and then some!

[@Robert1975]

Oh mi God espectacular love the kRONOS AMO EL KRONOS DESPUES DE ESTA DEMOSTRACION NO PENSE QUE PODRIA SONAR ASI..SIEMPRE AME. LOS KORG..

[@jeangeorgeslombardi1783]

Whaou, quelle leçon d'utilisation sur ce synthé… Vraiment il sait bien s'en servir. Quel bon musicien, j'en suis resté ébahi.

[@zuricortes4503]

A synth wizard. Really enjoyed this, thanks Dan man.

[@vanmichelgeliss8674]

Super cool merci Dan...🤗

[@999SunKing]

Those are the demos I love

[@R---66---R]

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... Has dear Mr. Jean Michel already contacted YOU??? Your improvisations are extremely wonderful. The sound is so bright and clear. KORG: the only synth that listens to you.

[@polymoog800]

+JJ Vreemer Thank you very much for a kind words. Regards, Dan

[@R---66---R]

+Stesco Dan Much obliged! I admire the way you use all the controller possibilities and the fact that you tend to do it all so 'seemingly easily'...but I guess you were well prepared before shooting the vid☺ I will keep on watching your vids and enjoy them!

[@polymoog800]

+JJ Vreemer Hi!, If you have a Kronos I can send the pack to you. Can check the sounds yourself :-) In my pack have more sounds settings that I demonstrate in this video. Equinox 7,Oxygen 1 for example..

[@R---66---R]

+Stesco Dan Hahaha...thank you my friend, for your offer, but NO☺☺☺, I don't posess a Kronos...mannnn, would I like too! I still banging on my KORG X 50 and sometimes the old beast 01W-FD, in this period of time...the X 50 is a great piece of art for a few bucks. I know the Kronos is a superb instrument and one day, ayhhh??? Than I would certainly like to receive your pack. Go on with displaying this great stuff, Dan Stesco or Stesco Dan...don't know anymore☺☺☺!

[@MrPartzz]

Dan, you simply HAVE to make a video of your equinoxes 7 patch :-)

[@gerryhoey]

That sounds great Dan...

[@polymoog800]

Thank you for replay and feedback.

[@polymoog800]

Thank you Dan. I already worked for the Kross factory voicing.

[@polymoog800]

Thank you for comment. Regarding sound pack is for free. I share it on Karma-Lab forum or I can send for you via e-mail. Regards, Dan

[@Jabedabedo28]

Amazing Dan ! Wonderful ! Do you have some combis for Korg M3 ?

[@kevinneedham5593]

I can't wait for this pack for the Nautilus

[@polymoog800]

Hi ! Some COMBIs can be converted to Krome. I already do the Oxygen 4 in the factory working. Or trying to find a second hand M3 and you can load my M3 OXYGEN pack.

[@ianchew1731]

Wow....this is brilliant! :)

[@G_u_g_l_i]

Dan its amazing!

[@JupiterSynth]

Ar fi super. Astept cu interes.
