Korg Krome 61 Vintage - Gold

Same Krome sound, in a vintage gold design.




Now you can show your passion for making music
with the limited edition vintage gold Krome 61 music workstation from
Korg. The Krome Music Workstation offers full-length, unlooped samples
of every key for a spectacular piano sound. This 61-key keyboard
workstation redefines your expectations for an instrument in this class.
Taking its name from the Greek word meaning "color," Krome gives you
sonic excellence in a gigging musician’s keyboard, providing a limitless
palette of sound to bring vivid inspiration your music.

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 other keyboards. 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.

Spectacular Grand Piano breaks new ground
Piano
sounds are critically important for nearly every keyboard instrument.
Krome borrows the impressive "German D Grand" that was created for the
Kronos flagship. In addition to the rich sound of 88 full-length
unlooped stereo samples, damper resonance is also included. In fact, the
PCM memory used for just this "German D Grand" alone occupies several
times – even several tens of times – more memory capacity than the
entire PCM memory used in a typical workstation or PCM synthesizer.
Unless the original sound is impeccable, no amount of parameter editing
can create an enjoyable playing experience. The Krome’s piano is an
example of Korg's passion for every musician to enjoy great sounds
played on great instruments. This resonant, authentic, and realistic
piano represents a major increase in quality for this class of keyboard.

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.

Studio-quality drum sounds
The
built-in drum kits play a major role in song production on any music
workstation. Krome contains the same "Jazz Ambience Drums" that can be
found on the Korg Kronos. Taking advantage of the high-capacity PCM
memory, these sounds capture a dramatically high level of response and
realism. Adjusting the mix balance between the direct sound (a mic
placed near the head or cymbal) and the ambient sound (recorded from a
distant mic to capture the resonance of the room), allows you to create a
rich drum sound that has exactly the balance and character that you
want.

Colorful palette of sounds
In addition
to piano, electric piano, and drums, Krome has a plentiful array of
sounds to cover a broad range of styles that will meet a wide variety of
needs. Stimulate your creativity by selecting any of the 640 Programs
or 288 Combinations. Each one has been carefully created by professional
studio and performing musicians to provide exceptional real-world use
for both rich clean backing parts or soaring solos. Plus you can tweak,
customize, create, and save your own sounds as well.

Drum Track delivers realistic grooves
Simply
pressing a single button turns on the Drum Track feature, providing
realistic grooves played by professionals using the Krome’s
studio-quality drum sounds. Play along or incorporate them into your
music production. In addition to more than 600 preset patterns inherited
from Kronos, there's plenty of space for saving user patterns as well.
Drum patterns can be created and used with the sequencer, as well as
providing a rhythm guide while you play, or they can be used creatively
in your live performances.

Dual polyphonic arpeggiators
In
Combination mode or Sequencer mode, two arpeggiators can be running
simultaneously. In addition to standard arpeggio patterns, these
arpeggiators can generate guitar or bass riffs, drum patterns, or they
can even be used as building blocks for sound design, to create pads,
synth sounds, and sound effects that include subtle motion. You're also
free to edit any of the patterns to create your own custom originals.

Workstation Wonderland
Krome
has a full complement of the features you’ve come to expect from a Korg
workstation, starting with the 16-track sequencer. But there’s much,
much more. Krome comes complete with a rich suite of tools to jumpstart
your creative urges. There's the convenient Auto Song Setup function; if
inspiration strikes while you're playing a program or combination,
simply press the REC switch to start recording immediately. Each
Template Song assigns popular sounds to sequencer tracks through
pre-routed effects to match a specific musical genre. Achieve
lightning-fast arrangements using Korg’s Cue List, and build an armada
of instant-access patterns using the RPPR (Realtime Pattern/Play
Recording) feature. Go back and you can make any changes using the
convenient piano-roll editing.

Awesome Effects
The
all-important effect section provides up to five Insert effects, two
Master effects, and one Total effect. In addition to great choruses,
flangers, phasers, delays, and reverbs, the 193 effect types include
dynamic processing effects such as compressor and limiter, evocative
effects like the Grain Shifter and Talking Modulator, as well as amp
modeling and speaker simulation effects using Korg’s proprietary “REMS”
modeling technology.

Natural Expression
Krome
61 and 73 models feature a semi-weighted natural-touch keyboard; the
great feel and response are ideal for playing everything from any style
of piano, to dynamic organ performance, to pyrotechnic synthesizer
solos. Krome 88 is equipped with Korg’s NH (Natural Weighted Hammer
Action) keyboard, ensuring that every nuance of your playing dynamics
will be expressively reflected when playing sounds such as piano or
electric piano.

Distinctive design
The
dramatic dark colored body provides Krome with an elegantly curved
profile. The top control panel is made using two aluminum panels of
differing design. The result is a distinctive appearance that projects
an unmistakable presence, even on a cluttered stage. In both looks and
sound, Krome will make a strong impression on the audience.

Intuitive TouchView interface
Krome’s
huge 800 x 480 pixel TouchView Color display can show numerous
parameters at once, ensuring great visibility. Simply touch the screen
to change sounds or edit parameters. Finger-drag editing is also
supported, allowing you to use the onscreen sliders and knobs directly.
Numerous functions take advantage of the TouchView interface, such as
the piano roll editor, a stopwatch that’s convenient for keeping track
of a live performance, and a calculator keypad that is convenient for
entering numerical values.

USB and SD Storage
You
can connect Krome to your computer via USB to easily transfer MIDI
data. You can also use an SD card (commercially available) to manage the
Krome’s data files.

Standalone and Plug-in KRONE Editing Software
The
Krome Editor and Krome Plug-In Editor allow you to edit your Krome from
your computer while viewing large numbers of parameters simultaneously,
or to use Krome in your DAW as if it were a software synthesizer. You
can download the latest version of the Krome sound editor from the Korg
website.
