The pair PA3X-Kronos offers the advantage that many drum sets in the Kronos are already matched for the PA3X, so you don't need to remap anything: just connect the midi out of the PA3X to the midi in of the Kronos (in Combi mode), select a drum kit on channel 10 and you are ready to rock the house. You could also have the PA3X drive one of the amazing bass sounds of the Kronos, but that would be overkill... grin


Hi Dreamer

Your suggestion is spot on if you cannot have additional sounds (VST) on board, however most arrangers make it hard work to set them to control external modules. (This is another plus of OAS 7 as it has it owns Midi Voice Banks thus allowing you to set things up so that the external module effectively becomes just another voice to choose from the database. (Details can be found in the Programing manual downloadable here Page 60)
