The Krome61 music workstation features a wide selection of sounds, including piano, electric piano, dynamic drum kits, 640 programs and 288 combinations. Offering full-length, unlooped samples of every key for a spectacular piano sound.

Description

This new keyboard redefines your expectations for an instrument in this class. Taking its name from the Greek word meaning "color," Krome is the new standard for sonic excellence in a gigging musician’s keyboard, providing a limitless palette of sound to bring vivid inspiration your music. Introducing the Krome Music Workstation.

In addition to Korg’s well-proven workstation features, Krome features a carefully chosen selection of the top sounds available today for bread-and-butter keyboard instruments such as piano and electric piano, as well as vital and dynamic drum kits, giving you the best of the basics. These highly usable piano, electric piano, and drum sounds by themselves set Krome apart from any other keyboard in its class. With sound quality and features normally found in much more expensive instruments, Krome aspires to set a whole new value standard, and become a unique and irreplaceable partner for real-world musicians.

Electric pianos offering expressive warmth and realism
For many keyboardists, the electric piano sound is just as critical as the acoustic piano sound. Krome features three types of electric pianos. Eight velocity levels have been used to ensure faithful response to the player's expression. Lavish amounts of PCM memory have been used for this purpose, to the extent that just one of these electric piano types contains more sample data than the entire sound memory of a typical PCM synthesizer. In addition, the vintage amps, cabinets, and classic effects so important to these timeless sounds have been realistically modeled, ensuring that everything from the touch to the final sound will be utterly enjoyable.

Features

  • The Korg workstation ideal for any style of piano playing.
  • Kronos-derived full length, unlooped piano and drum sounds, plus new electric pianos designed to shine on stage.
  • Electric pianos with eight-level velocity switching for unmatched expressive power.

  • Drums offering separately mixable direct and ambient sounds for studio-grade quality.

  • Expertly created, in-demand sounds including 640 Programs and 288 Combinations.
  • Powerful Effects with 5 Inserts, 2 Master, and 1 Total FX, plus per track/timbre EQ.
  • Distinctive aluminum panel design exudes a sense of quality.
  • USB connection to your computer, plus an SD Card slot for data storage.
  • You can use the Krome editor to edit sounds on your computer.
