Some of you have a Kronos in-hand already. Some of you, like me, are waiting for arrival. Either way, the Kronos is a uniquely deep synthesizer. It offers a lot out of the box, but to get the most value out of it you need to learn how it works from the inside.
I'm an amateur musician, a professional builder of embedded systems, and a sometimes-cogent writer. I have a fairly rich set of tools in my studio. I've been doing both keyboard-based and PC-based synthesis for years, and I've learned a bunch of things the hard (and expensive) way, but at the end of the day I write and perform music for entertainment, not for a living. I have a reasonably successful track record for breaking complex systems down into descriptions that normal human beings can understand.
What I'm going to try to do with this blog is to expose my own learning experience with the Kronos in the hope that it will be helpful to others. I'll be reacting to comments and questions, and trying to create a blog that is useful to others. Whether I succeed is up to you to determine, but I'll try.
I've got a Kronos-88 on order, so for the moment I'm limited to the time I can put in on the showroom floor on the Kronos-66. That said, I've seen enough to start addressing some of the questions that I'm seeing on forums here and there.
