The product

Editorial respect for the Kronos.

Kronos 3 Editor talks to your Kronos 3 over USB-MIDI using Korg's own SysEx protocol, with no extra hardware. Edit programs with everything laid out at once, organise and back up your banks, and never lose a sound to a touchscreen menu again. Read-first and safe: it reads and verifies before it ever writes.

01

Full on-screen editing

Every parameter of a Program on one deep, fast panel (oscillators, filters, effects, and routing), across all nine Kronos engines, instead of paging through the hardware's screen. Edits round-trip to the Kronos 3 live.

02

Prog/Combi browser

Find any sound from one window: browse and switch every Program and Combination, filter the whole Kronos by category just like its Category Select (with your own renamed categories), and see programs and combinations side by side in one list. It follows the hardware dial in Program and Combi mode, and favourites for both are written safely back to the unit. Combinations are browse and select; editing them is not in this version.

03

Librarian & backup

Pull whole banks off the unit, search and rename programs, mark favourites, and keep unlimited libraries on your Mac as .syx files. Your patches, safe off the workstation and searchable.

04

Plugin formats

Runs as an Audio Unit, a VST3, and a standalone app, so it fits your setup whether you work inside a DAW or on its own.

Inside the editor

Built around how you actually work.

A read-first design that observes and verifies before it transmits, so it is safe on a real instrument. It edits Programs across all nine engines and manages your library, and browses and switches both Programs and Combinations from one window. It does not include a Combi, Set List, or Global editor: Combinations can be browsed and switched but not edited. More may follow in future updates, shaped by what players ask for.
