Korg Kronos Workstation Sets a New Benchmark in Synthesizer Workstations

April 27, 2011 - PRLog -- The new Kronos Synthesizer workstations are expected to elevate Korg's reputation for being at the forefront of keyboard design to new heights. Indeed, one industry commentator has likened the Kronos to an affordable OASYS V2 and described these synth workstations as the keyboard that Korg wanted to build, but had to wait for technology to catch up.
Whilst the 61, 73 and 88 key versions feature virtually identical technologies, keyboardists should be aware that the 61 key version features the synth action from the Korg M3-61, whilst the 73 and 88 key models have Korg's superb RH3 Graded Hammer Action.
Such is the comprehensive nature of the Kronos that it's equally suited to working in live, studio and sound design environments. That's a testament to the clever way in which some staggering technologies have been integrated - 9 sound engines that can be used simultaneously; 16 part Combis; extra-long unlooped samples; 16 track MIDI sequencer; 16 track audio recorder - the list goes on.
On top of all that, Korg also worked on the Kronos soundset with some of the greatest names in keyboards, such as Herbie Hancock and George Duke.
