It pains me to say this since I’m a Yamaha guy through and through, but it just seems that Korg understands today’s artists… Check this out: New Korg Kronos |

Which of today’s artists have said they feel understood? Also, how do you know today’s artists are understood? |

As owner of a Motif XF and a Kronos X, I can say that each keyboard does something the other can’t, and each one sounds great. Buy both, that’s what I say.
The “new” Kronos is an update of the existing Kronos X. A larger SSD drive, some extra

One of the criticism the Original Kronos and the Kronos X got was that they were kind of physically fragile like compare the the Motif XS and XF. It seems to me this new Kronos is better built with those wood edges, loos more solid. |

9 giga bytes german piano with sympathetic resonance… I don’t wanna get excited about it but if it works properly it’s actually really nice and if so does Yamaha have anything in answer? if so it should be damn really good. And of course Kronos is not a brand new one it’s like saying iphone 5s is a brand new iphone! Whatever it is, it’s much more newer and capable of (at least 10 years) MOTIF XF and I’m not joking by saying 10 years nor trolling if you look at when OASYS started (around 2005 I guess) It really is 10 years ahead of MOTIF. |

The Yamaha EX5 was out well before the OASYS. Neither is still in production. The tribe has spoken. Sales are what counts, so learn to live with it so other people don’t have to listen to your noisy, never-ending struggle with reality. Go to a Roland forum and pester them to make an exact analog reissue of the Jupiter 8 that you wouldn’t end up buying because it wouldn’t load samples, have enough polyphony etc. and would cost more than you think it should in your dream world, where the world would be such a better place if only everyone worked for free just so you could be happy (for about ten minutes). Buy a Kronos and show everyone how happy it makes you by using it instead of going around the Internet ranting about what’s wrong with everything, everywhere, all the time, because you’re only person on the entire planet who has a clue about anything. Better still, explain again to us fools how the people who make the best selling products have somehow got it all wrong. |

It seems Yamaha for some people is like a religion. They can’t have an unbiased judgment I guess?! It’s super easy for me to just behave the same way and for sure get banned probably. Whatever other companies manufacture are always inferior to Yamaha products. There are lot of factors when it comes to audiences of a product. You can’t generalize it like that. I can easily claim I’m the most knowledgeable person on planet earth and introduce you as my reference but who’s going to believe it?
Here is an example:
To be honest I’m tired of replying to people who has extreme bounds to a brand regardless of it’s functionality. and I forgot to mention that before OASYS there was Triton and Trinity… It’s not like others have been sitting watching Yamaha making the best synths ever. There has bee always competition. |

Hey my friend you know what let me tell you some thing. Some people their mother gave them birth, others they shat them. I’m sure you’re among the latter. That well describes your attitude and language.

OK, OK, easy folks. We never like bannings and deletions but this thread now needs a time out if not time over. Even here in the lounge let’s keep things civil or else we’ll have to bring out the big stick - something we far prefer not to do. MM |

If I were loyal to any workstation company, I guess you would have to say that it is definitely Yamaha. I’ve been a fan of Yamaha since the days of the DX7, and I was a Motif ES owner/user. I’ve been waiting for Yamaha to answer Korg’s Kronos platform for some time now, and honestly I’ve been very disappointed. The original Kronos was actually a sort of scaled down Oasys, but still had a lot of features that I wished Yamaha would have adopted in their workstations. Then the Kronos X furthered the development, and now we have the 3rd generation Kronos with the 3.0 software. Some may argue the the Kronos 3 is a minute upgrade over the previous version, but how much of a drastic change was the Motif XF over the XS? How much of a drastic improvement was the XS over the Es? The Kronos makes use of an onboard SSD which gives it the capability of using large samples. Yamaha has yet to match this. |
