    @GospelMusicians Amen. Amen. Amen. Back when I sponsor with Korg (I've got an 01wpro, a MS-10, Triton Extreme, and a Kronos) I always told people that I bought Korg (and Kurtz) for the sound quality and touch. That's it. Inspiration and gigging come easy once the sound and touch is right. Layering for any synth player worth his salt is an easy task. I do sequencing for occasional apprg. or beats and recordings now and then, but for the beauty of the live sound, well it has to be live.

    How refreshing to see a fantastic musician getting excited about an instrument; so any other reviews of keyboards are overly critical and just look for flaws in the products.

    This is the best keyboard. I sat in guitar center for 3 hrs played it. I'm thinking about getting the 88. Thanks for the review bruh God Bless

    Slight correction about "physical modelled" EPs. They're not physically modelled. They're sample analysis/resynthesis, which is quite a bit different procedure (and it uses samples, whereas physically modelled instruments use pure math to create the sound from scratch, without any samples).
    But to hell with technicalities, this board plays and sounds great!

    Replaced my Yamaha Motif XS6 with a Kronos last March. I thought certain sounds I would miss. Kronos has knocked out the Yamaha. I have a 61. I do use a Yamaha digital piano with a FC3 damper as a MIDI controller and the Korg pianos shine all the more. But I play the Korg keys of organ and EP. Sweetness. Plus my AKAI EWIUSB plugs directly into the usb of the Kronos. No computer needed. Get the Kronos! A sick machine indeed.

    @alderige1 I"m also not done reviewing the keyboard and as you can see I did not buy it, so I am limited to what I can do in the store as well. Most player's I know use Pianos, Rhodes, and strings the most in a live and studio setting, so that's what I focused the most on.

  • @paddoww
    @paddoww 13 лет назад +1

    Thanks Jamal. I noticed that someone flamed on you about not reviewing the other aspects of this keyboard. Your title clearly states: Korg Kronos Sound Demo etc. I have been a Korg man for 12 years and can testify to having some messed up pianos to play with with maybe 1 or 2 decent patches in between. Finally there is something coming from them that fixes those few things. It's all about having a thick rich vibrant sound. So as for me, Korg has finally listened.

  • @RichBrand
    @RichBrand 13 лет назад +1

    That Frank McComb Rhodes he starts off with is FIRE!! Helps that Korg actually had the artists themselves (George Duke, Frank McComb, Herbie Hancock) personally have a hand in designing the sounds, it should be near exact. The Korg SV1 sound engine was thrown right into the Kronos, so it should be close.

  • @LTDproduction

  • @GospelMusicians
    @GospelMusicians  13 лет назад

    @alderige1 @puronicoya is right. This is not my forfeit and I'm not trying to be something I'm not. I'm speaking to the the gig musicians and most of the musicians I know who play for people like Bionce, Lauren Hill, the Roots, Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, they don't use sequencers EVER! They play the sounds and layer them. Sequencing and all that extra stuff is what a computer and Logic is for. I was review the Kronos for sounds and inspiration, because ultimately that's why you buy, IMHO

  • @ephilli1

    @careydixon8189 4 года назад

    I was a Korg guy for years, then bought the XF because it sounded so good next to Triton etc, filled it with sounds, (+ Firewire for VSTi to DAW, 2gb hard mem) but never despite DVDs never figured out my writing workflow on the XF, just cant get at home with the file system, but the Kronos was not in the store that day. The thickness of the Yamaha made me switch to Yam... yet I dislike the multi-timbral song mode, & Perform. Years hence, bro...Thanks for the review.

  • @lilmissmusic2012
    @lilmissmusic2012 13 лет назад +1

    I've loved Yamaha my whole life and I'm sorry but if given the choice between the XF and Kronos, just by the first piano sound alone, I'd take the Kronos. And guys please remember that we are listening to this on youtube so the sound quality on the video and the sound quality in real life are going to be different. The one in real life will be better. So if the one on this video is amazing sounding how will one in real life sound? AWESOME!!!!!! 8D

    Jamal you do a great job of reviewing keyboards. I just love the Rhodes sounds you are playing .... and when you call them beautiful I am in total agreement. The dynamics of the Rhodes patches combined with your playing really is beautiful and convinces me about the Kronos's abilities. You have my support at my website Synthzone.

    and thats exactly why I watched this review. Im tired of looking for a review and all I see is dudes playing around with a vocoder and playing synth leads. All i wanna see is the board and hear its sounds. im not sampling, using daw integration, or sequencing during a performance.

    Okay it sounds great but is it better than the motif xf all round?
    bearing in mind you can buy after market piano sounds for the motif which are incredible specialy from K sounds.
    I do not have a Yamaha or Korg and I am trying to make my mind up which way to go and I would value your opinion on this.

  • @frankwaldes1230
    @frankwaldes1230 5 лет назад

    My thoughts are, the video doesn't do it justice. It was difficult to tell the differences between the pianos on the video. When I sit down at my Kronos and listen through good reference monitors it is easy to tell the difference, but not so much in this video. You really have to sit down to appreciate the feel of the keys and the sonic quality. I am surprised that there are few places you can sit down and try this keyboard. I had to buy mine because it wasn't on display anywhere in my state (Utah) Of course, neither was a Genos or a Montage.

  • @DiatonicVids
    @DiatonicVids 11 лет назад

    I believe those are Yamaha HS80Ms, but if that's outside of your budget and you're not going to be using the monitors to mix music, you could go with a whole bunch of lower priced options. I would start looking at Mackie, KRK, and M-Audio for their 5" to 6" ish monitors. They are pretty accurate and a really good value.

    @lilmissmusic2012 13 лет назад

    I've loved Yamaha my whole life and I'm sorry but if given the choice just by the first piano sound alone, I'd take the Kronos. And guys please remember that we are listening to this on youtube so the sound quality on the video and the sound quality in real life are going to be different. The one in real life will be better. So if the one on this video is amazing sounding how will one in real life sound? AWESOME!!!!!! 8D

  • @pianofry
    @pianofry 11 лет назад

    It depends which model. The 73/88 note models have a hammer action which is close (but not the same as) a real piano - although arguably it is a better action than most of the pianos out there. There is no way the 61 key can be called weighted (I have one), but it is the most playable synth action I've ever come across - you can play fast and expressively if you adjust the global response to suit you properly.

      Son dos pianos completamente diferentes. El Korg Kronos es un Workstation, es decir que podes componer música con tan solo usando el piano. El Nord Stage es un piano analógico, no se puede componer musica ni nada. Eso si, los sonidos de piano, rhodes, claves, etc del Nord Stage son mejores. Espero haberte ayudado

  • @gruponemesis
    @gruponemesis 13 лет назад

    @alderige1 alot of the stuff you want reviewed is pretty outdated on a hardware keyboard, however i do remember how I relied on them for so long before i got into my own recording setup. and sometimes i really do prefer to sequence w my triton...but i have sinced moved to my laptop for all my live needs which includes samples, sequence triggers and core sounds such as pianos, strings, organ etc...

  • @Krazie316
    @Krazie316 13 лет назад

    @charlesshamwell Yeah that was because I was about to order the XS5 because I found it on clearance somewhere but after seeing what the Kronos can do, and me being a Korg person anyway I was like MAN!!!! I LOVE what this thing can do.
    Unfortunately my limit doesn't allow for the XF or the Kronos yet so I will proceed with the XS (a late present for me from someone else) and save up for the Kronos myself unless by the time I'm ready Korg has something even better, lol

      Bro get the krome!! That piano is a gig. That's the lil brother of this!!! It's not quite touching this but its pretty close. The m50 has better synth sounds tho if you ask me. Krome and m50 does have EDS synth engines tho. Just don't share the same sounds. So krome has better acoustic sounds while m50 has better synth sounds. I'm looking to get them both!!

  • @KerkinWayno
    @KerkinWayno 10 лет назад

    Man those Piano's were amazing and I have to say are better on Kronos I dont like the Rhodes though better than the Chic Corea rhodes on the XF.. Makes The Kronos rhodes sound like a midi controller keyboard. I can tell Jamal is trying to sell this but even he knows those Rhodes are not messing with the XF. However the piano is nice and rich with the Kronos

    • @tyleryesta1
      @tyleryesta1 10 лет назад

      I'd have to agree. IMO Korg's never gotten a "real" sounding Rhodes patch together. They're too dramatic, too much bell and bark, not enough of the in between. I thought they would've realized that with the sv1. Yes the pianos are lush and in your face but you need at least one good all around Rhodes patch.

    • @ejsanch
      @ejsanch 10 лет назад +4

      I disagree completely. Starting with the OASYS, then the Vintage Piano, now the Kronos, nothing Yamaha made or currently makes can outperform the Korg in the Rhodes catetory. Korg engineers captured every aspect of Rhodes hammer action where the Yamaha's tend to leave the extreme ends of the scale un-modeled.
      Korg is easily putting the best stuff out there these days. Give it a year or two, Yamaha will briefly leapfrog them, and then Korg will re-assert it's dominance once again with something even more amazing than the Kronos.
