- OASYS, Kronos, Virus, Deepmind, and Fantom all MIDI'd together. How to do it. We also get to see them all recorded into a WAV file. Process is identical on OASYS or Kronos.
NOTE: Combis have their own tempo, so when I'm switching combis, the tempo is different from the metronome. For live use, turning the tempo knob can sync them up again. For recording, you can send tempo change to the control channel.
Now there is a man who likes his gadgets!
Thank you for continuing to spend the time to make these great videos. I find them really helpful. PS - love your studio setup!
studio ? its his f***in bedroom .. lol .. all his money went for synths instead of a place to live :)
I really like your videos, and I always learn something new. I took your advice and returned the Rev2 for an OB-6. I also kept the DeepMind12, love that little keyboard. Now I have Kronos 2 88, Korg M-3, DeepMind12 and the OB-6. Just recently added an Eventide H9 Max, which makes the OB-6 sound amazing!
Richard, you have an awesome setup!

Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome. You have a load of knowledge on the Korg.
Luckiest guy in the planet
Lots of cool boards 😅😎😍
Amaaazing video tutorial sir. Thank you so much for making this video. Woow you gotta an amazing list pf great synths there. Keep up the great work ;-) Best regards,
Thanks for your production vid's, you have given me some confidence to have a go. And you are very clear on all of the points. I have the Korg Kronos. Thanks from UK
Very useful and clear tutorial. Thank you so much
I saw you are using Sony MDR-V6. I have two of them. When you are listening with them, your ears start hurting so, I found a way to avoid that. Replaced the ear pads with ones for SteelSeries Arctis 3 5 7 Headphones. This ones fit around your ears and way more comfortable due that.
Thanks for the tip. I just ordered these:

@@scoopicman Let me know how you feel once using them. Will be a huge difference.
I just did this last night, from a song playing in the SEQ straight to a USB thumb drive.
Bounce to disk does it very easy, converts it to WAV automatically.
From there I was able to email the WAV file and also shovel it into an empty track in my DAW.
Like how you kept space for the bed. Ha ha
Great video. Obvious care and time has been taken to make it.
Thanks, Liam. Yes, I've packed a lot into that room. My wife deserves an award for her tolerance. :>)
Great info man, thanks. Cool you use an Oasys! 😀 still a great instrument all these years
Fantastic video! Love your setup.
amazing. I love keyboards.
Always wondered @scoopicman
Is it possible to use Kronos as a midi Controller at the same time as a Sound Module? Meaning, lets say I'm using a DAW, and I want to play sound from the Kronos and record the MIDI inside my DAW and then playback that Midi track but the playback sound coming from the KRONOS?? WIthout using an additional Midi Controller that controls the Kronos??
Any help here would be very much appreciated ;_) Thanks
Maybe you understand this, but a lot of people don't. MIDI is just data. It is not recorded sound. The data is controller and note inputs; which controller you moved, when you pressed a note, and for how long. When the MIDI is played back, any device on that channel can respond with a sound. As long as they are hooked up (daisy chained), you could put 100 keyboards, modules, synths, drum machines, FX, etc. on the same channel, and they will play back the sounds. I don't use a DAW very much, but it should respond to Kronos as a MIDI controller (Kronos MIDI out to the DAW's MIDI input) and be able to control your sound module, as well. When you have a controller (Kronos) sending MIDI signals, you should be able to MIDI THRU to the module. The key is having them on the right channel. The controller has a TRANSMISSION channel (1 - 16) and the recorder or module has a RECEIVE channel (1 - 16).
Thanks for the detailed reply. I will explore these options later today. I am creating audio backing tracks for a tribute band I am in. I generally do the "copy from program" procedure to maintain the soniic integrity when building up my sequences. The multiple versions of s sequence would work. I am trying to streamline the process as much as possible. Thanks for your help.
I know what my problem was. I was using sample record instead of sequence record. I watched your video and when you mentioned turning off record on the MIDI tracks a little light went on in my head. I think I'm going to be able to make some real headway now. Thanks again.
Chow..verdadeiras maquinas..de som
Great stuff
Awesome video love it!
Would it be possible to do similar sounds controls with a midi keyboard linked with a Korg Krome 88 ( bought in 2022, updated with the most recent firmware) ?
If yes which external midi keyboards (…there are so many…., I’ m lost….) that would be a good value for money, and for a limited budget ? Thank you.
I don't have any experience with the Krome, but the MIDI spec is probably similar to the other Korg workstations.
Dang you have some pretty sweet synths there. I owned a SY 77 and what a machine, wish it wasn't so heavy then I definetely would buy one again.
Cool. That one is my SY99, but I used to have an SY77, back in the day. th-cam.com/video/Wrv8_aQ0Azg/w-d-xo.html
That is so nice, you definetely are huge fan of synths big time cool to know that as well. That video gave me chills to remember the 90's, that was one of the best time to me :)
Hi Scoop, one of the few midi experts who really seems to know what they are talking about AND has two of my keyboards the KRONOS and the FANTOM G. Can I pick your brain please as Roland no longer give tech support for keyboards once discontinued for 2 years or more and you have been kind enough to advise me in the past. I simply want to be able to get my Kronos in COMBI mode to change patches in the FANTOM LIVE mode. I have been able to achieve this using the correct MSB, LSB and PC numbers ( I have no issues getting the Fantom to change all connected keyboards ) however when the Fantom patch changes it immediately shows it as edited ( i.e. the little red check ticks next to some of the individual voices in the patch ) Korg tell me the issue is not with the Kronos as it is just sending out the program change info and to speak with Roland. Roland as I said don't support the Fantom G anymore so stumped. I know all your gear is midi'd up, could you if you have the time in between your busy schedule run a test to see if you can resolve this for me? I have tried turning off 15 of the 16 channels in the Kronos patch leaving just one set to EXT2 and msb 84 and lab 2 or 3 etc then any prog change no. Thanks in advance.
Hey, Mike. I don't have a Fantom G. I have the very first version, FA, from the early 2000's. It does not have Live mode, so I can't do such a test. Sorry.
Hi Scoop. Thank you firstly for answering some of my previous questions. You certainly know all there is to know about midi and hoping you can answer this question. I have 2 old Roland MKS 20 modules, one working fine and the 2nd following power board repairs is working, showing voice listings, accepting midi prog changes etc but no sound. As I don't have the M-16C cartridge wondering if possible to midi the 2 modules together and transfer voice data/bulk dump or dump to a Mac and then load onto the other machine. I have never done any bulk dump stuff before. Thanks in advance and hope your film music is progressing well. Regards Mike
I don't think that is possible. Manuals are here: www.synthmanuals.com/manuals/roland/mks-20/owners_manual/
You are the best !!!!Thanks a lot!!! Your videos are helping me a lot.....Thanks for spending time to make videos....
Can you please make a video of complete audio recording !! Especially crispy vocal settings ... and how to load drum tracks in to kronos ? different sample sounds added to the audio recording.......
I am creating MIDI sequences that are very IFX intensive. Chains of 3+ IFXs. So I start to run out of IFXs slots very quickly. I would like to be able to record these MIDI tracks with their associated IFXs directly into the audio tracks so as to free up IFX slots in MIDI sequences. Is there a way to do this directly. I know I can record the MIDI tracks as wave files and import those as wave files, but that seems like extra unnecessary steps. Can you point me in the right direction?
You can record the L/R outputs to audio tracks, or you can route the last IFX in a chain to a REC BUS or another destination. The Audio Tracks can record from any of these sources. Have you recorded audio tracks, yet? Press the MULTI-REC box and arm whatever tracks you want. You can also stereo pair them from the dropdown menu on the Audio track page. You can also copy the same song to multiple slots and work out your FX in each of those. On the Track Edit page, the menu command COPY MEASURE can copy any or all measures/tracks from one song to another. I have a really old video that shows that. Unfortunately, TH-cam doesn't keep the quality up from old videos. It was done on the OASYS, but it's the same screens. th-cam.com/video/pxERQ5hME3A/w-d-xo.html Also, this is a bit of work, but if you want to keep it all in one song, you can switch as many effects around as you want. th-cam.com/video/jNnM4Ifx0qY/w-d-xo.html
I really need your help
i have spent the last 5 days researching, Watching videos and reading till I'm just stumped
I am trying to use the MPC ONE as an external Sequencer using multiple tracks to sequence different sounds from the Kronos
the problem I am having is each track I create on the MPC for different sounds are playing all of the sounds
I have made sure that each Kronos track is assigned to a different midi channel and I have made sure that each track on the MPC ONE
Is assigned to the corresponding track on the Kronos
I am using USB to sync (instead of Midi cables)
Im pretty sure you do not have an MPC but Im so lost I really need someones help setting up my studio
I have learned a lot from you and subbed
best regards, Rick
Rick, I don't have any Akai gear, but have you seen this video? th-cam.com/video/3ArGfSUIyZw/w-d-xo.html 15 minutes in, he hooks up 4 tracks to an external synth.
A dream .. to have money to/and buy all those keyboars..... unfortunately they're extremely expensive in my country (a kronos, for example, 24 x"minimal wage")!
I've been lucky enough to make some money with that gear, so sometimes it pays back. I have no drinking, smoking, drug, or gambling expenses. Every 2 years or so, I buy a synth. Some of the gear in that room starts at the year 1988, which is why I have a lot. I take good care of gear, so it can sit there for over 30 years! For the big purchases, I bought Kronos in 2011, Virus TI in 2007, OASYS, in 2005. I usually get a credit deal; for example, I got the Deepmind 12, a couple years ago for around about $27 per month. Now that I have 4 kids, I rarely make big purchases. It's much easier when you are single. :>)
@@scoopicman What a background!
Thanks! I have a midi cable running in to Korg Volca Bass from the Oasys. Everytime I play the keys of Oasys in combi it stops the Volca Bass?? Any ideas how not not have that? I want the Volca bass to keep playing when I press the Oasys keys..
Awesome, thanks. My buying decision is much easier!
Nice video man thanks for sharing,im trying to choose between the Kronos 2 and Yamaha Montage 8,i wonder has the Kronos got better sounding Wurlitzer and Rhodes sounds and main piano sounds has the Kronos got many Arpeggiators on board.
No loser between the Kronos 2 and Montage; both have great sounds. I'm not a piano specialist, so hard for me to give you a personal answer. The Kronos also has some interesting 3rd party libraries. Some discussion of pianos, here: www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=675566
Several sounds played in this vid: th-cam.com/video/F8-JeAXfJzw/w-d-xo.html As far as arps, I believe Montage has the advantage. Kronos uses KARMA modules for reactive patterns. 4 of them can be going at the same time (in Combi or Song modes).
Wow, someone with even more keyboards than me! Great stuff. I have just bought a Kronos and trying to fit it into my keyboard rig. A very simple requirement I have is to run my Roland MKS 20 piano module into the Kronos and then restrict the piano to a particular keyboard zone and on a particular midi channel ( e.g. channel 12 ) I have the piano working fine across the entire keyboard but despite setting the module and a Kronos Combi midi channel to the same channel with it set to EXT I am not having any success and would really appreciate your advice. I have had no problems doing this on the Fantom which is midi'd to 3 other keyboards but this is much more complex. Thanks in advance. Mike
Mike, you can use KARMA to control an external device's note range. I just did a split with my Deepmind 12 and Virus.. In my case, I am playing from channel 1. My Virus is on channel 15 and the DM is on channel 14. I have the DM playing the bottom keys, and the Virus playing the top half.
Turn the physical KARMA switch on. On the screen, press the lower row KARMA tab. Uncheck the RUN box of each module you would like to use for keyzone transmission. Check the THRU IN Z box, under each module. Right above that, set your Bottom and Top note ranges. Under that, in the MIDI I/O section, set the channel for each module to control. On the left side, I just set it to "Gch." To the right of that, set it to channel 12, or whatever you want to control. This can be done from a Combi or Song.
Hi Scoop, thanks could do with you living next door! How did you figure that one out and what page of the 1500 plus pdf pages was that on? I know you have a Fantom as well, can you tell me if it is possible to play a Fantom LIVE combination patch in full but on the Kronos keyboard. Problem I am finding is that the Fantom combinations are using 8 separate midi channels and I can tune into each 8 midi channels but not have them all playing at once? You should be working for Korg.
Didn't look at the manual, but was aware of KARMA note ranges. That was the first time I've tried keyzoning an external device. As for the Fantom performances, you'll probably find that any of the stacked stuff is on the same channel, where arp and drum sounds are on different channels. On the Kronos, only EXT tracks/channels will transmit to that board, so it's possible to play your internal Kronos sounds how you like, as long as they are set to INTernal.
Hi Scoop, thanks for your replies.Karma aside i am struggling to create a simple split on the Kronos using the MKS piano module I mentioned in my original question. Despite having both the external module and the Kronos set to the same midi channel in Combi mode and the kronos channel set to EXT the piano is sounding across all 88 notes ( even when all the keyboard zones top notes are set to C1 and INT’s all turned to OFF ? Your expertise would be really appreciated. Cheers Mike
Mike, perhaps next week, I can revisit this. My schedule is slammed, right now. I'm not sure how to explain it more than I did. The process I did above worked on my external gear. It was the first time I ever keyzoned an external keyboard, so it was cool to discover.
Wow, scoopicman, the more I watch your tutorials, the more I learn, you just explain it so well and clear. I was just wondering about this. I use the Kronos 2, was thinking if I got a 2nd Kronos, using the first as the master, will the sequencer tell the 2nd Kronos what to do without confusing tracks and Midi channels? How would I set it up? So for example, if track 3 sequences a bass sound, and I want the same riff, but a different bass sound, I'd have to keep both on track 3 and Midi channel 3, correct? What if I bought a Yamaha Montage, used the Kronos as master, will there be a communication problem when the Kronos is the master sequencer, what do you think? Is WAV the only option or Kronos can export AIFF or other files? Thanks!! Great stuff.
Kronos can export samples as AIFF or Wave.
Montage doesn't have a full sequencer, so it should slave well to the Kronos. Sounds like you have a grasp on the channels. It can get as complicated as you want, for instance, you can change the sounds from the Kronos. Watch this video from 7 minutes on:
th-cam.com/video/jNnM4Ifx0qY/w-d-xo.html
Perhaps you are unaware of it but these keyboard thingies can apparently also be used for creating music - I am reliably informed that this particular application (i.e. making music) does however require a modicum of talent and a soul.
PS - is that your bed in the background? :-)
Thank you for this video what I would like to understand number one how did you assign each keyboard to a track in the Kronos combination? Number two I want to use my motif xs and motif classic using midi out from Kronos into motif xs from motif XS midi through to motif classic. Will this set up allow me to also use the sounds from motif classic and motif xs but played from Kronos?
I'm using sequencer mode to control external keyboards. The beauty of sequencer mode, is that any combination can be copied right to a song, pressing ENTER & REC/WRITE, simultaneously.
Yes, you should be able to MIDI to your Motif boards and even change their programs, from the Kronos. Check out this video, for more on how to do that, specifically from the 7:30 mark. This link should take you to that point: th-cam.com/video/jNnM4Ifx0qY/w-d-xo.html
ScoopicMan, great video(s). You really know your way around the Kronos. I am trying to program a couple specific patches/programs and need help 'fine tuning' them. I also have questions about my Moog Sub 37 sending cc data to the Kronos. Can you help me with this offline? Of course, a consulting fee can be discussed.
There are some guys on Korg forums that help out with programs. Here is one link: www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=722465&sid=55ca4c4bc6dddeef8a8c3169f4c740ba
I don't have any Moog synths, but I suggest recording a track on the Kronos. Turn some knobs, one at a time. Perhaps start with the filter. Then go into TRACK EDIT, select the dropdown menu and select MIDI EVENT EDIT. There is an option to highlight just the CCs. You can see what's going on, by going through measures.
hi, another question. how can i make my pa4x and kronos2 connected together. So if I change the transfers from pa4x so that the transfers from kronos2 also change
In Kronos' Global section, there are settings to allow program changes. Make sure those are on.
if i recored tracks in my daw (digital performer 10) with a sound module
but want my korg kronos to play that sound (piano) then do a patch
changes on the same midi channel how do i setup the kronos to work?
Selecting the program during recording should send the "program change" message. At least that's how it works on the Kronos.
Dear @scopiman can you please tell me how your connected external touch screen to the kronos 2? What's screen brand your using
Androidgalaxyman, there is no external screen. Are you looking at the OASYS screen, right under the Kronos?
@@scoopicman Dear Scott, thanks for the response. Yes .might be I misunderstood. Since I have readability issue, is there anyway we can achieve kronos 2 with external screen. Using any USB port or usb to host? I have seen one of the video montage in one of the you tube video , they are using external touch screen via usb to host port.. please let me know your thoughts on this
@@androidgalaxyman There is Kronos Remote, but it is only for certain functions (Setlist, etc.) See it here: th-cam.com/video/qMglqCqeBYc/w-d-xo.html
There are also computer editors, like the Korg one, as well as PCG Tools, and Tidy Kronos. I do not use any of them.

Is it possible to record the midi output of the Korg Nautilus Arp and Drum accompaniment ?
I don't have a Nautilus, but I'm sure you can. Kronos (and probably Nautilus) can record 16 MIDI channels, and 4 audio tracks in a single recording pass. This is good for recording multi-timbral performances. On Nautilus, you have up to 2 arps, 1 step sequence, and a drum kit. Each of those will be assigned to a MIDI channel. Assuming you are playing on channel 1 (a piano or synth), arps and drums may be triggered to play along. Arp 1 might be on channel 2, arp 2 on channel 3, a step sequence on channel 4, and drums are usually on channel 10. Yes, this can all be recorded. On Kronos, you check the MULTI-REC check box to accomplish this. Then you arm each track that you want to record on. Select REC for each track. On Kronos, if you wanted to record a combi, pressing ENTER plus REC/WRITE would bring that combi or program into the sequencer and it is ready to record automatically. I'm sure that Nautilus has this capability, because it is basically a Kronos, minus KARMA.
@@scoopicman Thanks for that would it be possible to capture the midi channels in separate tracks on a daw like Logic ?
@@funguy29 any program that has Multi-Record capability should work.
Hay can you show or tell me how to play the korg Kronos sounds with my Roland gr 55? 😕

Hi; i hope, After i saw your videos maybe you can help me.
2 Keyboards;
1 Triton Studio, 1 Kurz PC3; Triton should Send Bank/Program changes to the PC3.
the Triton: Setting up a Combi; Channel 8s Midi is set to EXT2, type in correct bank/program number to where the PC3 need to change to. Everything works fine. But: when i Play the Tritons Keyboard; I also get Sounds from the PC3 Engine. I only want to transmit B/P Changes, not played notes on the Tritons keyboard!
Is the PC3's MIDI channel also on channel 8? If you are playing Triton notes on channel 1 (which most combi stacks are on), then make sure the PC3 is not on 1. Make sure it's MIDI receive is not set to Receive ALL.
scoopicman ,
Hi; but the kurzweils Master has to be on the same Channel in order to receive the program change cc. Or am I wrong? Otherwise no cc will be transmitted...
@@279oxygene Put the Kurzweil on whatever channel you are putting the EXT 2 program assignment on. If you use track slot 16 on the Kronos (and the channel is set to 16 for that), set the Kurzweil to 16. Then turn on MUTE (instead of PLAY) for that slot. Having MUTE on will stop the Kronos' keyboard from playing the EXT 2 programs. You should still be able to play it from the Kurz's keyboard.
Now u have only to put a midi connector into your head to connect everthing to your brain bro... so the loop is complete! 😀
I was already loopy.
thank this help a lot.
can you please explain how to assign to the external keybord midi channel in to different kronos2 or oasys track?
thanks again
In Sequencer mode, any track on the first (A) keyboard can be set to INT (internal sounds) or EXT, which plays sounds on your second keyboard (B). The setting, BOTH, plays sounds from both keyboards, at the same time. Each track can play its own channel (select one from 1 - 16). If your second Kronos (B) is in Sequence mode, keyboard A can play any of its sounds on any tracks (1 - 16). Track 2 on A should play the sound assigned to Track 2 in the B keyboard. If you are not in Sequencer mode, go to Global - Basic - MIDI and you can change MIDI CHANNEL, at the top of the page.
Hi, thank you sharing this. Can anyone here help? I have connected an Optical cable from Kronos output to audio interface input. No signal is being transferred, any ideas why? I cannot find anything in the Kronos settings. Also, I have just connected a minilogue xd to the Kronos via midi. the only problem is, that the presets keep changing on the minilogue when I press certain parameters on the Kronos, is there a way stop this? At the moment I just want the Kronos keys to trigger the minilogue. All the best
Have found answer to the 2nd question. On the XD select 'Edit mode', Press the 5th lit up button on the sequencer and turn off ' MIDI RX Prog Change'.
@@mmhcreates Yeah, I was going to suggest disabling Program Change. As to the first question, your Kronos should be outputting. I use an S/P DIF cable, outputting my OASYS sounds into the Kronos. On the Kronos, I go to the Global Audio Mixer and assign S/P DIF to "L/R." I have no idea about your audio interface settings, but Kronos should be outputting the sound. Sometimes, I unplug the cable and replug it. There are two slots, In and Out. Make sure it's plugged into the right one.
@@scoopicman thank you. I will try and change the setting in the Global mixer. I am using a Focusrite clarett audio interface.
Thank you very much.
@@mmhcreates The Global mixer setting is for signals coming in to the Kronos. The digital out should be going automatically.
@@scoopicman I appreciate your help. I tried what you suggested and it worked, but could have been because I took the optical lead out and put back in, as you suggested. I assumed at the time it was more to do with changing the Global setting. The optical lead doesn't fit the Kronos properly, it is loose. Not sure why this is, as it fits much better into the interface optical in.
I will try changing the Global settings back and see if it still works.
Thank you very much for helping.
I purchased the Kronos a couple of months ago, but UPS damaged it, and they had it back to assess damage etc.
Anyway its a long story, my point is the Kronos is new to me and I'm trying to make sure everything is working properly.
Does your Kronos keybed respond well to softer playing?, the main issue I have with mine is the feel of the keys. They play and work fine, until I won't to play softly, then it just doesn't feel right, feels clunky.
I have read that the keybed can go and can be replaced, but that seems rather costly. But I supposed it is cheaper than purchasing a new one.
Thanks for sharing this advice, what type of hard drive is sat on the oasys?
Thans
That's an old Western Digital MyBook 80 gig USB drive. OASYS likes to work with FAT 32 format.
I'm a new Kronos user and this is the first time I'm seeing the Oasys. What are the main advantages it has over the Kronos?
SSD on Kronos slays the amount of sounds (samples) the OASYS can load, but the OASYS interface and build quality is better. Getting a bit old to really consider, due to rarity of motherboard replacements. OASYS advantages: The huge screen (10.4"), which can lay flat or tilt up, HD-1 (sample) engine polyphony is 172 vs 140, 4 analogue inputs vs 2 on Kronos, 10 analogue outputs vs 6 on Kronos, more LED indicators on knobs/sliders, better synth action keyboard (76 keys vs Kronos 61), better organization of sounds (AL-1, STR-1, LAC-1 sounds are mostly in their own groups, easy to remove 2 screws to open.
scoopicman Thanks for your detailed response. The screen on the OASYS seems great, I like how it can tilt up for easier viewing. Programming on the Kronos feels like staring at a cellphone for hours sometimes.
Interesting about the build quality, that’s one of my biggest disappointments with the Kronos. The key bed is great, the instrument is great, but the knows/sliders/buttons feel extremely cheap. Almost every other synth/keyboard I have has sturdier knobs and sliders, even ones that are < $1000.

Thank you so much Sir... God bless you.... But if you had a DAW it would be more easy right.. Hey.. Still you're set up is awesome.... 🤗👍👍👍
Thanks. DAWs are great. But, for simultaneously played layers and arps, I could argue that the hardware workflow can really shine, when faced with a short deadline. I wasn't exaggerating when I said 20 songs in two days, here: th-cam.com/video/UolvVmUvVdk/w-d-xo.html
Can we hear the hole song somewhere?
I just did that short bit for this demo. From 7:35 to 8:17 is all there was. It's cool that you wanted to hear more.
Hole Song...yikes
James Edinger I’m sure it’s just a typo - he strikes me as a bastion of literacy ;-)
Awesome video but the tempo is not synchronized.
Combis have their own saved tempos, so when I was changing combi numbers a different tempo would come up. I should have turned the OASYS' Tempo knob to resync the timing.
guys an arse the upper keyboards are angled far to downwards to be able to play them properly. why does just about every one on youtube demonstrating there keyboards all do this same stupid setup ? cheers
My main playing is from the bottom, level keyboard, which is MIDI'd to the others. All other keyboards are angled in order to see their screens. As far as being "an arse," I'm proud of that.
appolagise for being so blunt, but ive just got so fed up of so many keys player playing there keyboards as such, its like no one seems to realise how hard it is to play a keyboard at such an acute angle, and no one except me seams to realise it, ie just about every body on youtube does such, so it does cause me so much annoyance, that i feal its about time that finaly that i would just make the coment ans get it out of my system, ok cheers.
the metronome has wrong tempo !!!! hahahahaha
Combis have their own saved tempos, so when I was changing combi numbers a different tempo would come up. I should have turned the OASYS' Tempo knob to resync the timing.
this guy is nuts, he has his kronos and virus set at to steep an angle, any one who plays a keyboard should know that your arm/hand should be parralel to the keyboard , if not it is very difficult to play properly, i find on you tube many keyboard players are guilty of this mistake, even big name artists are allso guilty of this and i cannot understand why these people dont try, by trial and error to realise this for them selves
