KRONOS IS DIFFERENT - AND BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE
It's strange what experience can do to perception.
I had the Kronos 2 73 in 2020, but had great difficulty understanding most of what it could be used for, and found its U/I to be completely incomprehensible and illogical.
Using the Pa5X's advanced features has given me significant new knowledge and understanding, but still:
When I tested the MODX M and Juno-D, I found both of these to be worse than the Kronos.
Then something very unexpected happened when I bought the Kronos 1:
Now I understand everything without reading the manual, and see that this has a number of functions very easily accessible that I didn't find on the other two.
And Kronos has something very special, namely direct access to all the sound's effective parameters, which makes it easier than ever to change the sound of an acoustic piano, for example.
Only one arranger has a similar option (only for acoustic piano), and that is the DGX-670.
But Kronos has far more adjustable parameters than DGX, and ALL sounds can be adjusted in this way with Kronos.
I have never seen anything like it and as good.
Another important thing is that everything from later versions (2 and 3) can be installed automatically with Kronos Editor, as this makes the necessary adjustments and saves the user a job that would normally have required many hours of work.
I will therefore try to explain some of this in the future, because Kronos is unique.
