The KronosRemote allows you to control the famous Korg Kronos workstation from your iPad and helps you getting the maximum performance out of your Kronos. It focuses on live situations on stage to give you easy access to common pages and parameters even when the Kronos screen is not in reach or not visible. In the studio it will support your programming workflow by providing a second screen on which you can have direct access to important pages like the combi mixer while editing other pages on the Kronos screen (it does not substitute the Kronos for programming though). A wireless connection via Bluetooth supports program changes and realtime controllers and is a convenient way on stage to control your live setup in every situation. A connection via USB cable fully supports SysEx communication and features synchronisation of all preset parameters, thus being the perfect choice during programming in your studio. Please note: the KronosRemote is designed as a supplement to the Kronos screen, due to technical reasons many pages are only available on the Kronos screen and are not accessible from the app. __________________________________________ SETLIST A setlist view similar to the Kronos setlist screen allows quick changes between program / combi and song presets. Optionally the app can change the mode on the Kronos and for example show the combi mixer page while your iPad still lets you access your current setlist. You can assign .pdf files or even .mp3 files to setlist slots. .pdf files will be displayed instead of the comment field while .mp3 files bring up a mini-player - all within the setlist screen. Slots and setlists can conveniently be edited including drag & drop slots / use the onscreen keyboard to input text / copy & paste chords or lyrics to your comments. And you can even do that offline - prepare your setlist backstage on the iPad, add new songs or move your songs in the right order, edit your comments, add leadsheets... and transfer all changes to your Kronos later when you're connected. - Default setlist mode with slots, zoomable and scrollable - Add .pdf and .mp3 files to your setlist slots - Extensive setlist editing capabilities - Select slot preset directly from setlist mode instead of changing forth and back between the modes - Undo feature - A realtime controller bar features controls like ribbon controller, knobs and silders or the 8 universal pads without hiding your setlist __________________________________________ COMBINATION The mixer page and additional common editing pages can be displayed and used on the iPad. While editing on the iPad is more convenient than the Kronos touchscreen, this mode allows you to view two editing pages at the same time - like adjusting EQ settings on the Kronos screen and editing mixer settings on the iPad. When you're done editing use the iPad keyboard to give your Combi a name and save it from the iPad. __________________________________________ PROGRAM Program mode lets you change presets and offers the same access to the realtime controller surfaces as the other modes. Also you can use the iPad keyboard to rename programs. __________________________________________ SEQUENCER The mixer and EQ pages for MIDI and Audio are available in Sequencer mode. Use the iPad to always have your hands on the mixer while you're working on your tracks or effects. __________________________________________ Please note • USB connection requires the iPad camera kit or USB-lightning adapter • For a bluetooth connection an additional bluetooth MIDI dongle on the Kronos side is required. Bluetooth is only available on devices which support Bluetooth LE specification, this should be all devices above (not including) the iPad 2 • The app fully supports iPad 2 or prior but will be slow on these devices, mostly during syncing processes. Program changes and realtime controllers work fine. • Additional infos and FAQ can be found at www.kronos-remote.com ## Key features - Setlist management with PDF/MP3 assignment - Remote mixer page access - Wireless Bluetooth and USB connectivity - Real-time controller bar - Offline setlist preparation - SysEx communication support ## Recent user reviews (10 of 21) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kronos-remote/id1185334677/reviews.md ### 1/5 — When will it work? *2025-10-18, version 1.9.6* Does not sync with my Kronos will not update to current set list just want it to work as advertised ### 1/5 — No information on how to connect to the Kronos *2024-04-21, version 1.9.6* I have my USB cable plugged into my iPad and it does not make a connection. The Kronos only shows an ethernet network option. How do you connect this and load up my programs to the app very disappointed ### 1/5 — Setlist-Sync funktioniert nicht mehr *2023-12-29, version 1.9.6* Offenbar wurde der Support eingestellt, auf Mail die Crew von Daniel Luscher nicht mehr ### 5/5 — Lifesaver *2022-12-28* Makes navigating the Kronos a breeze, especially in sunlight, the Achilles Heel of the Kronos screen. ### 5/5 — Great App for live use . *2022-12-28, version 1.9.6* I use this app constantly when I perform live. It is awesome to be able to see my notes in Setlist on the iPad screen in front of me. Especially during the summer when you cannot read the Kronos screen because of the direct light. ### 5/5 — 100 % for the constant gigging Kronos owner! *2022-04-23, version 1.9.4* (1) You can add PDF’s into the app & view them while in Set List mode, which saves you from having to have dual screens for sheet music and the app. (2) you can use a Bluetooth keyboard or Apple Magic Keyboard to use while playing, if/when in a situation where the songs being performed are randomly selected vs structured. (3) You can add more characters/text within the app via Set List mode vs the Kronos built in UI, which is super helpful. (4) Searching songs within the app is 20x better than searching songs via the built in Kronos UI. (5) Dual Setlist mode is awesome!! (6) Reorganizing patches in Set List mode is 200x better than the built in Kronos UI!! Support for the app is also amazing and the developer is a great guy! ### 4/5 — So far, just in need of OS update ability *2021-10-26, version 1.9.4* I have a Kronos 3 and for some reason, I have NEVER been able to update the OS! I bought this app hoping it was a solution to this problem without replacing the original hard drive! I’m not the only one! ### 5/5 — Super praktisch für Vielspieler *2021-10-21, version 1.9.4* Ich habe mir die App vor kurzen gekauft und bin total begeistert. Einstellungen lassen sich viel schneller vornehmen, Setlists flott erstellen und es ist super übersichtlich gestaltet. Was auch richtig gut ist ist, dass man .pdf Dateien in die App einfügen kann und sie (die App) somit auch noch als „Notenständer“ fungieren kann. Die Verbindung zum Kronos ist sehr simpel und die Befehle übers iPad funktionieren in Echtzeit. Die Übertragung zwischen App und Kronos funktionierte erst nicht, aber nach wenigen Chats via Facebook mit der Hersteller konnte das Problem gelöst werden. Somit bekommt man nicht nur eine tolle, super abgestimmt App für das Kronos, sondern auch noch schnellen, umfangreichen Support vom Entwickler, wenn etwas nicht funktionieren sollte. Prima :) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-10-15, version 1.9.4* I purchased this app it won’t finish downloading I have plenty of storage memory it just won’t complete please help ### 5/5 — Très bien *2020-11-17, version 1.8.2* Agréablement surpris pas la fluidité et la facilité d’accès au banques et paramètres ! Très bon travail du développeur ! Je recommande ce n’est est pas un gadget ## Frequently asked questions about Kronos Remote ### What is Kronos Remote?
