在官网看到KORG放出了KRONOS升级的消息,标题是“The Game is Still Changing!”
KRONOS MUSIC WORKSTATION
System Version 1.5
Free update adds more space for new sounds, USB MIDI input, plus software editing
Kronos System Version 1.5 makes Korg’s game-changing workstation even more compelling. New user-requested features include the ability to load more sounds and samples at once, support for Korg USB pad controllers such as the nanoPAD2, and support for installing additional RAM. Version 1.5 also supports the Kronos Editor and Plug-in Editor software, providing editor/librarian capabilities for Mac OSX and Windows and compatibility with popular DAW software. The update is free to all registered Kronos owners, and will be available for download in mid-October of 2011 at www.korg.com/kronos.
Kronos System Version 1.5 Highlights
7 new Program banks provide 896 additional free slots to store programs from Korg, from third party developers, or those you create yourself
7 new banks each of Wave Sequences and Drum Kits to match the new Program banks
The maximum number of RAM Samples and Multisamples has been increased by four, allowing Kronos to load more samples at once
Supports input from USB MIDI controllers: play Kronos sounds from auxiliary keyboards via USB
Direct support for playing and selecting chords from Korg pad-equipped USB controllers, including the nanoPAD, nanoPAD2, and KONTROL series
Support for installing additional RAM: more than double the amount of memory for EXs and RAM samples
Support for the Kronos Editor and Plug-in Editor software
7 additional User Banks
Kronos Version 1.5 adds seven more User Banks each of Programs, Wave Sequences and Drum Kits, numbered USER-AA through USER-GG. These banks are initialized by default, free for storing either your own sounds or libraries from Korg and third party sound developers. Program Banks are easily accessed from the front-panel hardware by pressing both the INT and USER buttons simultaneously. For instance, to select USER-DD, press both INT-D and USER-D.
4 times the number of RAM Multisamples, Samples, and Multisample Indexes
The maximum number of RAM Multisamples has been increased from 1,000 to 4,000; the maximum numbers of RAM Samples and Multisample Indexes have each been increased from 4,000 to 16,000. These four-fold increases will be especially helpful when loading libraries with large numbers of relatively short samples, such as drums. Please note that EXs sample data does not count towards these maximums; they apply to the RAM banks only.
Support for USB MIDI and Korg USB pad controllers
Kronos Version 1.5 adds support for connecting USB MIDI class-compliant controllers directly to the Kronos. For instance, you can use a Korg microKEY as an auxiliary synth-action keyboard for a Kronos 73 or 88. Even better, Korg USB MIDI controllers with pads–including the nanoPAD, nanoPAD2, and padKONTROL are automatically mapped to the Kronos chord pads, for playing and programming drums, triggering chords, and selecting and assigning chords for Chord Mode.
Support for additional RAM
Version 1.5 supports the installation of additional RAM into the Kronos, which can be performed at any authorized Korg service center for a nominal fee. This more than doubles the maximum available sample RAM, up to approximately 2.2 GB. Of course, when loading EXs using Virtual Memory, the total size of the loaded sample data can be much greater. Kronos uses widely available, off-the-shelf DIMMs. More details to be announced in mid-October of 2011.
Kronos Editor and Plug-In Editor
Kronos Version 1.5 adds support for the Kronos Editor and Plug-In Editor, which allows the editing and organizing sounds from a Mac OS X or Windows computer. Plug-in operation allows you to save settings as part of your project with any VST-compatible Windows software, or any VST- or AU-compatible software on Mac OS X. The Kronos Editor and Plug-In Editor will be available for free download in late November 2011 at www.korg.com/kronos.
十月中旬就有1.5版本的升级文件可以下载了~看说明1.5版本大概有以下几个新特点:
1.增加了BANK,比如BANK AA,BB,CC,DD,可以有更多储存音色的地方。而且官方也会放出新的PCM和音色(不过看官网描述这个是需要买的)。
2.增加了内部RAM采样的允许容量,增大了4倍,不知道会不会提高开机速度哈~
3.支持USB MIDI设备~怀念M3那8个PAD的朋友们可以买个KORG NANO PAD2之类的,接到琴上(AUTO MAPPING哦!~),再也不用抱怨没有实体PAD了~
4.可以在琴内增加内存条(这个貌似M3时代就有了,估计内存条也不便宜~)
5.支持KRONOS EDITOR和PLUG-IN EDITOR!!~有了这个以后就可以在电脑音序器里灵活使用和编辑KRONOS了,而且KRONOS的USB是包含音频传输的,直接达到M3时代的火线扩展卡功能!~
总之,第三和第五条都非常期待啊!~第一条的话,如果不购买一并推出的New Sound Libraries,貌似用处不大,不过也说不定,曾经M3上那三个一开始需要买的PCM,最后也变成FREE DOWNLOAD了~第二条和第四条貌似是配套的,增加内存条,再扩大采样容量,对采样使用频繁的人可能会比较有用吧~ |
