Plus CP4 is the lightest of the slab digital pianos that's got a decent action (better than CP-40, different than PX-5S, lighter than MP7 and RD-800). The Kronos pianos also sound excellent on recordings. Good that you have decent monitors at home. To beat the heat, I run my errands in the morning. Hey Tim, yes its getting hotter, approaching the century mark out here. But having 1) played a big band gig last week Kronos (BTW, I really don't like playing big band gigs - not my cup of tea and I don't think it will grow on me) and playing 2.5 hours of jazz on the CP4 last night, I have to say the pianos on the Kronos (even what sounds passable for me at home) simply are in a AAA league compared to the CP4 MLB-level pianos. Ha! How you making out in this oppressive heat, Greg?Īctually, I have decent monitoring here at home. It's been a workhorse, an embarrassment of riches.but the acoustic piano is only average. I own an original K73, preordered when they were first announced several years ago. My Kronos pianos sound nice through IEMs but if you use stereo speaker monitoring live the Kronos pianos can sound like ass if your speaker placement is not just right. You should do that any way with UPSs being so affordable and with you looking at running $5000+ worth if gear if you get either these. You better power the Kronos off a UPS with automated voltage regulation. My Kronos 2 gave me more problems than any keyboard I ever own.

The Kronos in my opinion has more potential to give you the most hardware and software problems. I don't mean to make the Kronos sound like slam dunk over the Montage.

But the Yamaha patch control is much better than what the Motif had.
You can have 128 setlist with 128 patches each. Montage does have a setlist type function but the Kronos is more robust.

stick with the Motif & get a Prophet 6, pro 2, minilogue,a Moog Voyager, but that's me. If you don't sample much or sequence on a computer, I'd start with the Montage. If they are integral, get the Kronos as the Montage has neither. If you'll be selling the Motif to help get a new board, I'd ask how much does the sampling & sequencer play into what you do. Both offer quite a bit in those categories.
well, I might look for a less heavy solution for gigging & leaving the Motif in the studio.īut then again, I'd be perfectly fine gigging with a Roland XP-80īut buying a Montage or Kronos would be more about sound design, inspiration, innovation, & creativity. If I'm just looking to play in a few cover bands & write songs on the weekend, I wouldn't be looking to replace the Motif. Any improvement in the Kronos or Montage, is marginal. I've always loved the Motif bread & butter sounds. Mainly because of the lack of MIDI input routing, but also because of the organ patches. Unfortunately the Montage does not work well as a sound source to be driven by multiple keyboards.Įither one would be great for general use in a band, but if I had to choose just one it would be the Kronos. I'd love to sit it on top of an 88 controller and play piano parts with the controller while using the Montage for other parts. This is my big disappointment with the Montage. In my view, no ROMpler can replace a horn section in the studio, but either of these will get you by in a cover band.īoth are easy to set up as an only keyboard covering lots of parts. Montage organ patches are definitely usable, but lacking in controls and missing that nice B3 grind. For me it is not fun to play organ on hammer action. Organ is definitely better on the Kronos and one reason I hold onto the original 61. The Kronos 73 is hammer action so that is my preference for piano in my setup. I've got a Kronos 2 73, an original Kronos 61, and a Montage 76.
