Korg KRONOS 2

Following a big musical break (I’ve hardly played between 2006 and 2015) and since the purchase of my new Korg KRONOS 2, I’m more motivated than ever to compose and have some fun with this wonderful workstation.

I’m above all pianist and since my old electric piano Technics SX-PR170 passed away, I wanted to find a new heavy 88 keys piano, synthesizer or workstation.
When looking a bit of all the current models, I found a video of the 88-Keys Korg KROME from the excellent Luke Edwards from Korg UK (link for the video at the bottom page). After a comparison between it and the new KRONOS 2, I choose its big brother for its enormous potential and I must admit that, I am delighted with my choice ! 🙂

Of course, my favorite sound is the fantastic Grand Berlin Piano with its 9 Go of samples, without loop. With a classical formation during more than 13 years, it was impossible to not loving it…

The KRONOS isn’t only useful for realistic sounds, it can do a lot of things in almost all music styles. The knobs, switches, cursors, bender, ribbon and joystick on the front panel are very intuitive and offer many possibilities to change the sound in live.
