Sadly only with scope synths
for the moment, i have only an ES 3 + Pico VCO wavetable for my tests, lol
not very interesting
will use next time though.
Scope oscillators are fatter & better than what i have, and allow to save money (rack below is more around 4000 euros than 3500 USD - same price as moog matriarch+grandmother, or a dozen of behringer clones) - at least KrOn saves between 1000 and 2000 € of extra modules (or more depending on brands).
I still regret selling the ms20-mini because of its dirty filter that behringer was unable to clone (K2 is *not* and ms20 at all - their 3340 osc is pretty clean though).
May be one day (having fun on modular grid website). Eurorack 100% for 1 or 2 KrOn (is it worth it? probably) :

UPDATE TIME (FINAL HOPEFULLY)
==========================================
KrON:
=====
-- Corrects all overlapping pop-up menus (pitch 1 & 2) that could go behind pots and menus of the bottom sections. Many of those went unoticed by me because of diffrerence between SDK, Scope 5, Scope 7 etc. Now fixed !!
-- Graphics: BPM section graphics corrected (KrOnSync button was hiding texts, no text for external midi clock...)
-- T1 & T2 added as modulators in the P1/P2 mixers but
only in the third selector. Because not having them there was totally against KrOn's philosophy (especially when *not* using P1/P2 for quantized Pitch). Now corrected, workflow and momentum are saved (as long as you remember that they are available only in the 3rd selector, which should be fine)..
-- Dual KrOnSync Output: for better project organization, the KrOnSYnc output (Bpm Output Pad) is placed at the top and at the bottom of the device. It is the same pad, just helps to have better looking routing window if possible.
-- KrOn loads with settings that make it easier to hear differences in various "play modes" (check the leds to see what notes it plays in the different modes ==> it won't do anything if you have the same notes repeating on all 4-steps sections, it is much more obvious on complex 32 step sequences: that way you should hear many differences).
--- Litterature: some tooltips were re-written for better understanding (bpm section).
JunZ
====
-- Added LFO Sync, BPM, internal sync, KrOnSync (no external midi clock = intentional/not important: please use external clock with KrOn or synth like Magma if you really need an external clock).
-- Internal BPM display disappears when KrOn Sync is "On". KronSync button tells you to check tempo on KrOn (it is unfortunately not possible to display the KrOn's tempo on external devices, so you have to check on KrOn if you forget what is your master tempo) (*).
-- Changed color of the audio-input insert slot to grey for better visibility
-- Audio Input send to Ring is now taken Pre-Insert. This allows to have the audio as Ring modulator while audio-in level is at 0.
-- Drone mode button display should be corrected but presets might have to be resaved for correction to happen.
-- More informative tooltips (audio-in ring led-button, kronsync section).
Magma
======
--- KrOnSync Inputs at the top and bottom of the device for better looking routing window (gives choices).
--- Internal BPM display disappears when KrOn Sync is "On". KronSync button tells you to check tempo on KrOn (*).
--- KrOnSYnc input renamed to "Bpm" for consistency over several devices.
--- NOTE: modulation wheel fader looks like it behave strangely when selected with the mouse but it is because it is actually a rotary knob. It is made to be used with mod-Wheel though, so mouse behaviour has not been changed (the rotary behaviour is the one with the highest resolution or easiest to use in my opinion).
Spirit
======
--- Drone mode button now in presets as should be.
--- KrOnSync Inputs at the top and bottom of the device for better looking routing window (gives choices)
--- Internal BPM display disappears when KrOn Sync is "On". KronSync button tells you to check tempo on KrOn (*).
--- KrOnSYnc input renamed to "Bpm" for consistency over several devices.
Many thanks to beta testers who helped a lot in making this update quickly available and as complete as possible...
(*) having the tempo display disapear and leave an empty space can be confusing at first, but adding a graphic that looks nicer implies adding logical modules, controller pads, and graphic groups = additional dsp resources. In the current design, the dsp resources used = 0 ) .
Pictures below:
- it is possible to connect both outputs to different bpm inputs of different devices.
- it is not possible to connect 2 Bpm inputs at the same time. The device will not let you connect the second pad once one of them is connected ("cannot route / incompatible pads" error message = perfectly normal/logical behaviour)
Please NOTE; it is normal that KrOn displays a "division by zero " message when you "Kron-Sync it" with no master Kron BPM plugged into the Bpm inputs. when nothing is plugged in, KrOn sees BPM=0 and cannot compute the actual tempo (0 in = 0 out = impossible tempo).
