PA5X CONNECTED TO KRONOS WORKS POORLY

[♔Chello]

I still have a very old Kronos 1 here which I did not use for some years, but I remember I had the same issue when connecting another synth to the audio-in of the Kronos. I'm not sure but I think that on the Kronos the master/system effects are always active on audio-in and it's not possible to disable that. Much of the factory sounds and performances use master effects. When I switched performances when audio-in was playing, the change of system effects e.g. compressors was clearly audible on the audio-in signal.

Thank you very much for your helpful comment.
This confirms what I found out myself right after I wrote this.

Even going into different menus on the Kronos results in a changed sound with the Pa5X if a rhythm is playing while you do so.

A VERY strange layout, which the user can do nothing about.
Very sick, Korg..!

But fortunately the Kronos can be connected to the Pa5X, and all such problems disappear.
