Korg KROSS 61 Keyboard Workstation

Mobile 61-key synthesizer keyboard with impressive features.




A new entry-level workstation keyboard and more
powerful replacement for the X50, the KROSS 61 features a sound engine
derived from Krome, a 16-track sequencer with Electribe-style editing,
two-channel audio recording with unlimited overdub, seven simultaneous
effects, and AA battery or AC adapter operation.

With the KROSS,
the sounds and songs that you've created at home and the system that you
use every day can go with you onto the stage or into the street!
Featuring rich sounds that exceed its class, yet remaining highly
portable, the KROSS is designed for practical usability. There's a
convenient mic input and a built-in audio recorder, and it can run on 6 x
AA batteries. It's a distinctive new standard in music workstations,
with specs and style that set it apart from all others.

The
creative color and design will project a powerful presence whether
you're performing on stage or anywhere else. The top panel as seen by
the player is a sleek black color, while the rear and side panels
visible by the audience use a bold, red color scheme. The two models
feature different design concepts; the 61-key model is designed for
active mobile use, while the 88-key model has a sophisticated design
that looks great on stage.

A lightweight body that runs on AA alkaline batteries
In
spite of being packed with functionality, the KROSS is lightweight and
highly portable. The 61-key model with its distinctive rear bar is
amazingly light; at only 4.3 kg/9.5 lb, it's the most portable in its
category. The 88-key model packs a piano-touch hammer action keyboard
into a mere 12.4 kg/27.3 lbs. Both models are highly portable and
lightweight, and can operate on an AC adapter or on six AA alkaline or
nickel-metal hydride batteries.

A wide variety of sounds
Because
of its portability, the KROSS will be used in a wide range of
situations, and that's why it provides a broad variety of sounds that
surpasses even the flagship models of the previous generation. The PCM
data is approximately twice as large as preceding models such as the X50
and the PS60. Staples such as the frequently-used rock/jazz organ,
strings, brass, and synth sounds have been brushed up. There are also
instruments such as toy piano, accordion, combo organ, church organ, and
even vintage instruments such as a tape sampler, as well as bell-type
sounds and the sounds you need for cutting-edge dance music and
electronica - unique sounds that have not been included in a synth of
this class. Our design goal has been to make KROSS the only instrument
you need.

Sound Selector makes it easy to find the sound you're looking for
While
the KROSS provides an extremely broad range of sounds, there are two
dedicated dials that let you easily find the sound you need. First use
the category dial to choose the broad category such as piano, electric
piano, organ, bell, synths, basses, or strings. Then turn the select
dial to find the sound you want. It's a quick way to focus on selecting
the needed sounds without being distracted by sounds of another type.

Favorites function lets you register 64 selected sounds or audio songs for one-touch access
Sounds
that you've created or that you use frequently can be registered to
four banks of 16 buttons, giving you a total of 64 sounds that can be
recalled at a single touch. This is a real convenience during live
performances or song production. You can also register audio songs and
recall them along with sounds.

Pro-quality EDS-i sound engine is built-in
The
EDS-i sound engine is a high-quality sound engine distilled from the
EDS/EDS-X sound engines found on Korg’s most advanced instruments. It
allows you to use a total of seven effects simultaneously: five insert
effects and two master effects. Ranging from standards such as delay,
reverb, chorus, flanger, and rotary speaker, and also including amp
modeling powered by Korg's proprietary "REMS" modeling technology, and
even a robot voice vocoder, you can choose from 134 different
high-quality effects.

Quick Layer/Split function
Dedicated
buttons are provided for Layer/Split settings. Start by selecting the
first program you want to use; then press the dedicated button to enable
Layer or Split. When this is on, a screen will appear in which you can
choose the other sound and specify details such as the split point. Then
simply write your settings and the layer/split sound will be saved as a
Combination.

Stereo audio recorder allows you to overdub your performances and vocals
The
built-in stereo audio recorder can record not only the performance of
the KROSS itself, but also the sound of a mic or external input. You can
play backing tracks that you created, or overdub onto them to create
songs and demos. Audio can be imported and exported as WAV files using
an SD card (separately sold), making it easy to exchange material with
your computer.
