2018, and Kronos is stil the world's best synthesizer, no doubt about it. What's so great is the library of 3rd party sounds, which is huge for the Kronos, and can turn your synth from a 2011 version into a 2018 model, as if you just bought this brand new, updated powerhouse. In a way, Korg kinda made a mistake with the Kronos: it's just so powerful and incredible, who would want to buy another synth again? I've had mine 3 years and still have barely touched the surface what this baby can do, and it can do a LOT! The sequencer alone on the Kronos is worth the price, wow!
Updating the Triton LIbraries made me so happy I had my own KORG music room party lol. People often don't understand why a workstation is 'relevant' to us. Because they can do the same in their eyes with software and a laptop. But it just isn't the same. Back when Triton Ex was king - I would have been sooo embarrassed to stand beside the drummer, bassist, two guitarists...with a fricking laptop and a usb plug in. But 2005 was a different age. Today I'm used to the KORG workflow, productivity and having so much all in a box wound to the keys with rh3 piano and all my old Triton favourites? Its so awesome! I can't even tell you. Innovation happens on the stage with friends. Not scrolling yet another mouse and OS in pursuit of the quickest and laziest. I think KORG fans are breed of their own in some respects. It's why I got my drummer a wavedrum and myself a RK-100s. KORG rules :D
Well, at least this video answered one question that has not anywhere else. That the touchscreen itself functions as the pads that used to be offered on the M3, Oasys and Karma. This will also mean that since the chords can be programmed in, that a midi pad device should function as well.
Those who are going on about Yamaha synthesizers and plugins really need to get real. Yamaha make fantastic acoustic instruments. That's it. Korg make the world's best synthesizers by a long long way. Those who predominantly use plugins are DJs and those who cannot play musical instruments. There is nothing like being able to play a musical instrument. For a couple of thousand dollars you can own a Kronos and all the creativity will come your way. DJs and those who cant play musical instruments will never understand this instrument. If you cant understand something, keep your comments for the children's playground in which Yamaha synthesizers and plugins operate within. Playing live has been lost because of people who cant play musical instruments. Those who rely on plugins will never understand the imagination that comes with being able to play at the professional level and this instrument releases that imagination.
Have a listen to one user and what sound combi he created with the Kronos. Sound creation on a higher level than all other manufacturers anywhere on the planet. watch?v=o0xI9RmUsnY
Very well said. People are scared to learn about synthesis, so they buy into all these gimmicks that allow the synth to play for you, programmed by musicians who do know how to make music, and sold to those wanna be musicians who still can barely read music and have yet to master one of Bach's 15 part Inventions. If you want toy, but a Yamaha or Casio, it will sound good, but not because you are talented or put in the time to learn how to play. If you are a real musician, save up and buy a real pro synth: the Kronos is world's best, it just can't get better, I don't see how!
I agree. I don't like the str-1 for acoustic guitar sounds. It seems it's better suited for special fx. I'm pretty sure there are libraries coming that you can load yourself though.
That was a great demo and Im going to be buying the new Kronos X which is amazing too. Korg has been doing a great job to bring in third party companies for new sounds and stuff like KARMA. The future for Kronos looks real good and that why I have decide to buy a Kronos X.
Korg needs to add more updated tutorials. they just emailed me a bunch of new sounds they have for the kronos which I bought, and they are fantastic! it's like buying a brand new 2018 synth, wow! Can we please start up the tutorials again, the kronos is alive and well and will be so for many years to come, there is much to be learned! a tutorial on how to make your own KARMA patterns is long overdue.
The Kronos sounds awesome. I know because I have one. But I had to replace it two times because of the damn malfunctioning keybeds. Don´t know if the X version is better in that regard. The second anoying thing is the sequencer, it´s is inferior to the M3 and Krome one but has 16 audio tracks. The UI is still 1995 stuff :( . Maybe Korg could invest and catch up with iOS? There is more to workflow than using a big color display.
I tried this in the store, very nice but I found the acoustic sounds to be over processed (personal pref) however, pair this up with a Yamaha Motif Xf and you can take over the world! I will always prefer these workstations Vs a Computer. Not that there is anything wrong with that but I gig and these workstations save the day... and I've never crashed a SEQ on a Korg or Yamaha workstation yet :P
I owned the M1, and then the Korg Triton Extreme (which I still have) and now I own the Kronos and love it! If you like the M1 you really really should get the KRONOS !!!
Let's redirect the question a bit as I too find myself in limbo. What does the OASYS offer that the Kronos doesn't? I've heard both and, to be honest, there is a certain "bigness" that the OASYS seems to deliver that I simply dont hear in the Kronos. I cannot explain why. Since you own both, perhaps uyou can elaborate on your experiences. (Granted, its very subjective and depends on tastes.)
Does it still take nearly 3 minutes for the Kronos to boot up? I spoke with a Korg rep regarding this issue and his solution was to buy a back up Kronos just in case of an emergency! I've been a Korg fan from way back, but the absurd boot up time was a deal breaker for me and I got a Kurzweil PC3 which sounded just as good booted up in a fraction of the time. Don't get me wrong! I have nothing but respect for Korg and its huge contribution to music technology and synthesis over the past 5 decades. However I'd be constantly dreading an accidental power shut down during a gig when playing this instrument!
I guess one could achieve quite much of the functionality with a good computer and a few softsynths and a midi controller. Still, the Kronos might be great for some people, looks like it's capable of creating some nice sounds.
I have a Roland E60 Music Workstation at home and am thinking about the Korg Kronos. However, one question I have is can you use the Korg Kronos as an Arranger workstation like the Roland E60 where you play the chords with the left hand and melody with the right, and if so how do you do it? Is that what Karma is for or is there another way to do it?
Come on Korg, Revenue = Price × Quantity. Drop the price and the quantity will equate. These great boards are fast becoming more loved than owned! When your dollar trails the US by 137, this synth seems pricey. It's a used car from Japan...
GREAT video! RIch Formidoni is a genius. One question though. I'm thinking about getting a new keyboard and was wondering how you perform certain articulations like a guitar makes when it scoops into a note. I know Yamaha keyboards do them and was wondering how you do them on the Kronos
How is it that the keybed on my 500 dollar casio px-150 is better than the kronos keybed? I was very disappointed with the quality of korg keybeds last time I demoed them.
It's absolutely amazing. My concern is my budget. How far is the Krome from the Kronos in terms of sounds, features and sound quality? I like the guitar modeling, the analog sounds,. the modern synth sounds, the DAW compatibility. Is that stuff still in the Krome? Thanks.
Korg, you should really fix the scale issue. Most europeans and the balkan musicians are not buying the kronos for this specific reason. When changing the pitch on combi mode, scale does not follow.
This is a workstation, as you obviously don't realize. It's meant for playing live. It's thousands time easier to just have a keyboard there rather than a computer with fuck tons of cords in the way.

Now that's what should be coming. Comments about reliablity make me hold back, despite the awesome acoustics. This is where my wallet could be hit hard. Has anyone got any comments about aftersales service ? In Australia ? I've been thinking about a simple reliable keyboard, not too much hardware and an operating system just for music synthesis. There are some amazing sound cards around now. Why has'nt someone taken the initiative and done this ? Maybe it's hard getting the sample sounds free.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed our demo. I hope you'll consider getting your Kronos from Kraft Music. We have some great BUNDLES set up with the Kronos, and we can also create a custom package to fit your needs. Just give us a call and we can set you up with the best possible deal. Thanks for your interest! - Dave McCullough Kraft Music Marketing (800)783-3368
@jordmann1 What I think you mean is either bending or sliding. As a guitar teacher I'm acustomed to knowing most techniques on a guitar. The kronos does both from what I have seen by using the xy joystick for bends and vibrato effects and the ribbon may be used for slides. I'm not 100% sure but I imagine that's how it works. Yamaha keyboards are beginners keyboards at best and not for a realistic sound. They're are plasticy and not a very proffessional piece of gear.
P3 Gaming you earned a sub. + like Sir! by the way, I just want your opinion. what do you think about the new Yamaha Montage 8? This question comes from a Korg M1 user by the way. Thanks and have a nice day!
New Kronos pages are ready at Kraft Music...check out our exclusive videos and content. Exclusive BUNDLES are coming soon... Thanks for watching! - Dave McCullough Kraft Music Marketing (800)783-3368
I don't think so since the display is not connected with a standard display or hdmi port. There is a VGA port on the motherboard but it won't give you what is on the Kronos screen.
Dirty Donki, anyone who sells his Kronos, unless he broke all his fingers and can never play keyboards again, is selling the world's best and most powerful synth, and what will he trade it for that could be anywhere near as good? $200 for a Kronos? Tell me where, I'll buy 2 more for that price! Mine is 3 years old and I wouldn't take less then $4,000 for it, it's loaded with orchestral/choir/new synth sounds that are priceless. Saying the Kronos is just too much for the average person is like saying you can only sleep in one bedroom at a time, so it's a waste to buy a palace just because you're rich! The fact after 3 years I'm STILL learning how to use this powerhouse is not reason to sell! It's reason to keep, as it will still be a powerhouse for the next 10 years to come! Find me better - you can't!
Let's face it: This workstation has a higher IQ than all of its users. If you ever try to unplug it it will go HAL on your ass and lock you out of your apartment. Me wantz...
Only 3.5 million dollarz..... Nobody on these fabulous performing keyboard plays Rick Wakemans' pipe organ sound. Could it be they're all jazz or rock men,and not classical trained? Lots of chords, but not too many riffs. Hmmm. The pipe organ sound has many many balls, too bad no one plays it with high quality sound. Would blow a lot of people away. Would be great for a church as well ! Uh oh, I brought up the God factor. Great keyboard, played needs more time alone with ivory... Me thinks.
I don't understand why KORG manufactures other synthesizers like Kross when they won't provide a basic facility of smooth sound Transition which is even present in simple digital keyboards.. Those who purchased them with hundreds of dollars have lost their interest on stage and their purchases.. Disgusting..

Great keyboard, great sounds, great presentation...really impressed.
My dream keyboard, sounds just out of this world! Amazing...Thank`s Rich for the presentation...
I watched all the videos and none of them done it justice. What an amazing keyboard.
this thing is simply from another world...

I've just bought the Kronos X73 - it's AWESOME !!
oh man they should have had a camera installed over the synth as well..
Great demo, great synth. Thank you Kraft Music.
First take several years to learn to play music, then several years more learning to play these machines, but it sounds absolutly amazing!
lol that's true! Complex!
I'm still happy with my Yamaha Motif ES8
Just bought the Kronos X...waiting for delivery!
I agree. I don't like the str-1 for acoustic guitar sounds. It seems it's better suited for special fx. I'm pretty sure there are libraries coming that you can load yourself though.

nickie nok how did you get Korg e-mail you? How to get new patches?
Nickie--are they charging for those new sounds ??? How much plrease ? I didn't go to their URL as yet. Thanks.
This thing is awesome! Now when it came to a great grand piano sound, that new Roland RD- grand piano sound blew me away!!!!
The Kronos sounds awesome. I know because I have one. But I had to replace it two times because of the damn malfunctioning keybeds. Don´t know if the X version is better in that regard.

Amazing demo love it!
Hello! a question: why when you release the notes after a musical fragment does the volume of the sound rise? in the last thousandths wtf?
How many Karma Mods are there? 4? Same as original Krma?
You can buy a studioblade workstation keyboard from music computing and it can run 3,000 plugins at once and also 3,000 tracks at once.
¿Where can I buy this in Colombia?

Keybed problem at 3:32? It sounds like it cuts the sound of. Is this problem fixed by Korg?
I wanted to purchase but you don't ship to Russia :-(
So with the MOD 7 engine Korg has recreated the RCM engine in the SY-77/99?
GREAT video! RIch Formidoni is a genius. One question though. I'm thinking about getting a new keyboard and was wondering how you perform certain articulations like a guitar makes when it scoops into a note. I know Yamaha keyboards do them and was wondering how you do them on the Kronos
Buying one!
So which one is better...KRONOS or OASIS? [I realize OASIS isn't being made anymore but sometimes the newer model ain't necessarily better]
How is it that the keybed on my 500 dollar casio px-150 is better than the kronos keybed? I was very disappointed with the quality of korg keybeds last time I demoed them.

why did i bye a m50
THis Vid is amazing, and this man is awsome , too!
How can I not Love this instrument, or should I say 500 instruments, at least that's what it sounds like.
Lots of problems with this keyboard, one of them delete 1 note on a track the Kronos deletes the whole dam track
Korg: RIP Rich
Casio: Rich 2.0
I'm sold I want one so bad now
Pony up the cash.

Good Presentation Korg Kronos'='=
this thing is my DREAM :)
Insane.
Take that set up to a gig or on tour I dare you. PC's are great for home use but for the gigging musician you need this kind of synth.
P3 Gaming well said and spot on kind Sir!
Let's face it: This workstation has a higher IQ than all of its users.
If you ever try to unplug it it will go HAL on your ass and lock you out of your apartment.
Me wantz...
thomann.de
they will ship it for you
24.19 to 24.49
cool
Guitars is sound weak !
There should be more playing than talking the keyboard will speak for itself.
Only 3.5 million dollarz..... Nobody on these fabulous performing keyboard plays Rick Wakemans' pipe organ sound. Could it be they're all jazz or rock men,and not classical trained? Lots of chords, but not too many riffs. Hmmm. The pipe organ sound has many many balls, too bad no one plays it with high quality sound. Would blow a lot of people away. Would be great for a church as well ! Uh oh, I brought up the God factor. Great keyboard, played needs more time alone with ivory... Me thinks.
What a man! oops, machine! lol
Shut up and take me money!
chato
I don't understand why KORG manufactures other synthesizers like Kross when they won't provide a basic facility of smooth sound Transition which is even present in simple digital keyboards.. Those who purchased them with hundreds of dollars have lost their interest on stage and their purchases.. Disgusting..
Dude, that Jazz Quartet sounded so bad- I'm sorry.
The acoustic sounds are nice, but no better then say the Nord Stage2. Everything else sounds really dated to me, like Korg are still stuck back in the 90s.
I definitely liked the demo by Luke Edward than this. kronos sounded even better in his hands.
so 80's and not the good side of 80's
its not a acoustic guitar, its sounds more plastic..
in my opinion a shame for such a powerfull worstation..!
Yes, the game has been changed. Using el cheapo unreliable hardware on a $4K pro keyboard is a new game.
The cheap buttons, sliders, pitch stick, and LED lights have kept me from buying Kronos from the beginning. Korg put a lot of effort into designing an excellent workstation, then took the cheap route with these controls. Why?! For $4K the controls should be made to last a lifetime. I remember seeing photos of the dial being attached with double-sided tape!!!
The problem is you don't get this fabulous sounds when you buy the Korg. The factory sounds are nowhere as good, so you have to buy 3rd party sounds to get these, which means more money to spend haha;)
Not true. I've owned a Kronos since they came out and all the sounds featured in this demo are factory presets.
LEARN FROM YAMAHA HOW TO BUILD FRIENDLY SIMPLE BRILLIANT MACHINES . PSR S950 !!! A PIECE OF ART !!!
This is crap..
YAMAHA GENOS AND ROLAND JD 800. ARE THE BEST.
You do not know what you are talking about
