[inocentforever]

fuck yamaha!!!

[vowarrior1]

like if you noticed he played so what at 4:52

[nigelgspencer]

Jamal you do a great job of reviewing keyboards. I just love the Rhodes sounds you are playing .... and when you call them beautiful I am in total agreement. The dynamics of the Rhodes patches combined with your playing really is beautiful and convinces me about the Kronos's abilities. You have my support at my website Synthzone.

[Bigboon912]

A i was wondering could you do a review on the korg m50 vs the yamaha mox. Im on a budget and these workstations are crazy expensive.

[yaboichi]

have you ever tried out the m50? budget kind of low, and i want to see how it is.

[NBAballToWalls]

This guy is the bomb - amazing piano player and seems like a genuine guy and O M DEAR GOOODNESS. I Want the Kronos like I want Heaven....well almost

[BattleSeedtv]

lol. I don't think it's just the korg. I think you're just amazing that the piano

[WeAskThePeople]

the keyboard is just a machine,, it's take should to bring it to life,, love your playing man ..

[musicdirector71184]

This is the best keyboard. I sat in guitar center for 3 hrs played it. I'm thinking about getting the 88. Thanks for the review bruh God Bless

[AUP68]

@musicdirector71184 did you try the 88? make sure to try it before buying thats an advice im giving you cause I got a 88 without trying it (obviously I saw all these reviews and played on the 61) but korg are having trouble with the piano touch. And I had trouble with mine. when you play softly on it the note cuts off and thats very frustating

[musicdirector71184]

@AUP68 ok cool havent heard that but it i will consider it before buying. Overall do you seem to be satisfied with it? Thanks

[AUP68]

@musicdirector71184 it's definitly an insane keyboard. in general, it sounds amazing, but if Korg can't find a way to resolve this piano problem, it is really really disapointing and its not worth it to buy a 88, or even a 73 (cause apparently the problem is only on the weighted keys, not on the 61). Korg are presenting the kronos as an instrument with the best pianos ever. It is a main feature of the keyboard, so it doesnt make sense that you can't rely on it.

[AUP68]

@musicdirector71184 if you buy a 73 or 88, try to insist on opening it and trying it directly where you buy it, seriously. Cause in my case, I brought it home, installed it, played on it and noticed the problem, then had to bring it back to the dealer. It's a real pain in the ass, especially because you see how amazing the keyboard is and how great it sounds, but you still have to put it back in its box.

[ydohakan]

@AUP68 what kinda problem man?

[AUP68]

@ydohakan search "korg kronos problem" on youtube seems like there are a few video about it

[disnukka79]

@9:02 "I like to hear the twats" ... What!?

[pierstheoneandonly]

Some fine playing there.

[Lucasloliveira86]

Toca Muito, Sonzeira! também sou Evangélico, Graças a Deus!

[provy100]

This board is d best yes

[paddoww]

Thanks Jamal. I noticed that someone flamed on you about not reviewing the other aspects of this keyboard. Your title clearly states: Korg Kronos Sound Demo etc. I have been a Korg man for 12 years and can testify to having some messed up pianos to play with with maybe 1 or 2 decent patches in between. Finally there is something coming from them that fixes those few things. It's all about having a thick rich vibrant sound. So as for me, Korg has finally listened.

[clipbrowser]

nice video

[chilldave73]

I appreciate this review for sure...but is it just me or is there a harshness to the attack when this gentleman digs in? It's kind of jarring & unsettling... Maybe it's a physical sound of the key bottoming out hard? Hmm..

[zillaclout]

hey Jamal. the review was dope my brotha! thanx for taking out the time. and you sound great as always family. Blessings! Lew Laing

[alderige1]

Worst review ever of a workstation all this guy does is play boring smooth jazz (elevator music) sequences and says "beautiful"!!! How about some programing, sound creation, sampling, virtual patching, karma, controls, daw integration and side by side comparisons with other keyboards or VSTs? …waste of time, he should stick to reviewing electric pianos.

[puronicoya]

@alderige1 he's more about what the sounds are like. he gigs, plays at church etc.. which is more important to him. it would been nice to hear other keyboards beside it though.

[GospelMusicians]

@alderige1 @puronicoya is right. This is not my forfeit and I'm not trying to be something I'm not. I'm speaking to the the gig musicians and most of the musicians I know who play for people like Bionce, Lauren Hill, the Roots, Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, they don't use sequencers EVER! They play the sounds and layer them. Sequencing and all that extra stuff is what a computer and Logic is for. I was review the Kronos for sounds and inspiration, because ultimately that's why you buy, IMHO

[ins0mniakds]

@GospelMusicians The greatest thing about the internet is that there isn't a thing stopping them from producing their own review. If we're following you, we know what you're about and don't need anything more than what you've been doing for YEARS! If they were capable of doing anything they would go ahead and make their own review, filling whatever gap they feel is missing here. You don't need to dignify this. Simply wait and their opinions will fade into the oblivion where they came from.

[jomarcavalcanti]

@GospelMusicians Jamal brother man... even Jesus had his haters.. what do you expect on a so called "real world" lol great review man.. and I'm also a Yamaha guy and I've been itching all over for this 61 keys.. lol but only to pair with my xf7... GOD BLESS and keep up the great work. u make the difference foshooo.. :)

[silentdrowning]

@GospelMusicians Amen. Amen. Amen. Back when I sponsor with Korg (I've got an 01wpro, a MS-10, Triton Extreme, and a Kronos) I always told people that I bought Korg (and Kurtz) for the sound quality and touch. That's it. Inspiration and gigging come easy once the sound and touch is right. Layering for any synth player worth his salt is an easy task. I do sequencing for occasional apprg. or beats and recordings now and then, but for the beauty of the live sound, well it has to be live.

[GospelMusicians]

@alderige1 I"m also not done reviewing the keyboard and as you can see I did not buy it, so I am limited to what I can do in the store as well. Most player's I know use Pianos, Rhodes, and strings the most in a live and studio setting, so that's what I focused the most on.

[Jamsire]

@GospelMusicians - I dig everything you did on all of your videos. Which is why the Kronos 88 key is in my house.

[LTDproduction]

@GospelMusicians That's also what 95% of keyboard-based musicians are focussed on these days too Jamal. You're never going to please everyone...The review is dope

[tyleryesta1]

I thought you did a fine review man, and I LOVE me some smooth jazz baby!

[gruponemesis]

@alderige1 alot of the stuff you want reviewed is pretty outdated on a hardware keyboard, however i do remember how I relied on them for so long before i got into my own recording setup. and sometimes i really do prefer to sequence w my triton...but i have sinced moved to my laptop for all my live needs which includes samples, sequence triggers and core sounds such as pianos, strings, organ etc...

[propheticson1]

Anybody happen to know the polyphony on the Kronos?

[lilmissmusic2012]

I've loved Yamaha my whole life and I'm sorry but if given the choice between the XF and Kronos, just by the first piano sound alone, I'd take the Kronos. And guys please remember that we are listening to this on youtube so the sound quality on the video and the sound quality in real life are going to be different. The one in real life will be better. So if the one on this video is amazing sounding how will one in real life sound? AWESOME!!!!!! 8D

[othnielsimmons]

Jamal's face looks like a kid finding new Ben10 toys hidden in a secret warehouse downtown...the excitement is contagious! lol

[ephilli1]

Korg stepped that EP game Up!! I always liked their Piano sound better than Yamaha. Yamaha has beast EPs but this Korg's EP sound Great!! Thats my next keyboard

[xXHwyStarXx]

My God Man! Excellent playing! Thanks for going through everything for us. You played all of the sounds very well. I have two grand pianos and love them both. I have been toying with getting a Nord or a Kawai, but after seeing these four videos of yours, I think the other boards will never sound as good!

[Jamsire]

Boy you are something else my man. Excellent touch. I'm a guitarist, so I am completely in awe.

[jwesKeys]

DUDE!!, ive been looking for a decent demo IN ENGLISH and their so rare. lol like the series of videos im seeing. more playing and less talking makes a big difference, thanks

[dragonsagoth666]

Slight correction about "physical modelled" EPs. They're not physically modelled. They're sample analysis/resynthesis, which is quite a bit different procedure (and it uses samples, whereas physically modelled instruments use pure math to create the sound from scratch, without any samples).

But to hell with technicalities, this board plays and sounds great!

[leightonmusik]

Oh Jamal That Dark grand sounds like the real thing man it sounds like its in a really expensive hall I cannot believe it.

[killakeyz8]

yo Korg is stepping up the pianos and rhodes actually sounds like a real grand piano and a fender rhodes OMG

[sebounetman]

My dream is i'd like to learn nu soul like that with a good keyboard like Korg SV1 or this new Korg Kronos. :)

[Krazie316]

If one had a choice between 2 keyboards, the Motif XS6 and the Kronos 6, which would you choose?

[dragonsagoth666]

@Krazie316

Kronos, no question about it.

[charlesshamwell]

@Krazie316 kronos, but a better comparison would be the xf6 and kronos

[Krazie316]

@charlesshamwell Yeah that was because I was about to order the XS5 because I found it on clearance somewhere but after seeing what the Kronos can do, and me being a Korg person anyway I was like MAN!!!! I LOVE what this thing can do.

Unfortunately my limit doesn't allow for the XF or the Kronos yet so I will proceed with the XS (a late present for me from someone else) and save up for the Kronos myself unless by the time I'm ready Korg has something even better, lol

[samuelq1]

If I wanted some instructional videos on this jazz/ worship style you have in the beginning, what DVD would you recommend?

[GospelMusicians]

@samuelq1 I don't teach jazz expicitly, but the Urban Worship Xtreme will give you some jazz.

[bjornhelge97]

We all love yo Jamal :)

[GospelMusicians]

@bjornhelge97 Thanks :)

[rich1906]

That Frank McComb Rhodes he starts off with is FIRE!! Helps that Korg actually had the artists themselves (George Duke, Frank McComb, Herbie Hancock) personally have a hand in designing the sounds, it should be near exact. The Korg SV1 sound engine was thrown right into the Kronos, so it should be close.

[MisaelCastilloBrenes]

Excellent demo, thanks.

[DOMINIQUEB22]

Jamal bro that Kronos sounds better than the yamaha. I am like you I am a yamaha man. I cant believe I just said that. I want one now.

[CivilIllEnt]

I first had a yamaha motif 8 but this is really making me want a Kronos!

[soflamessg]

Hey liked the KRONOS and I'm a fan of your demos and all the reviews you make.

Please play some BOLLYWOOD music .I wanna hear it from you.

[dopemcee]

i didnt check the video yet but im wiating to see what he says about the waveform lol..he loves to talk about his waveforms lol

[AllenElton1]

im a yamaha guy and i have the kronos sounds running in thru MIDI... man its a close call forreal

[Simbanyamfukudza01]

If you had an option between that korg and the motif xf, what would you take?

[charlesshamwell]

@Simbanyamfukudza01 that's the same question, i've asked. i'd really like the korg, but that's if jamal did the mks patches for it

[theapex81]

@charlesshamwell I'll do the MKS patches for it. That's for sure. Inbox me your contact info and I'll get with you ASAP.

[str8rippin0mlg]

@Simbanyamfukudza01 KRONOS ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!

[NemiChoco]

@Simbanyamfukudza01 i would take the motif. hands down, without even thinking about it.
