Over 1,000 Professional Sounds Onboard

Advanced Sequencing Capabilities

As a true workstation, the KROSS 2 offers full-featured 16-track MIDI sequencing. Record in real time or step time, quantize tracks, add swing, transpose, and edit individual notes. The KROSS 2's touch-sensitive pads provide quick step recording and real-time phrase looping. You can sync the KROSS 2 to external MIDI gear via its MIDI in/out and USB ports. The KROSS 2 also functions as an audio interface, allowing you to record its internal sounds directly into your DAW.

Intuitive Interface with Hands-On Control

Despite its deep capabilities, the KROSS 2 is designed to be immediately accessible, even for newcomers, to synthesis and workstation tools. Its category buttons and knobs provide one-touch selection of sounds, effects, and other parameters. The KROSS 2's full-size, velocity-sensitive keyboard is ideal for keyboardists and producers alike. Pitch bend and modulation wheels provide further real-time control over sounds. A large, backlit LCD display clearly shows selected sounds, sequences, and other important information at a glance.

Powerful Effects Processing and Flexible Routing

The KROSS 2 offers over 140 high-quality effects derived from Korg's acclaimed KRONOS workstation. Shape your sounds with reverb, delay, EQ, compression, modulation effects, amp modeling, and more. Complex effects chains can be created with up to five simultaneous effects. The KROSS 2 provides flexible eight-channel audio routing, allowing you to create separate channels for drums, bass, keyboards, guitar, vocals, and other sources. Route these channels to the main outputs, assign effects, and balance levels to create a polished, professional mix. Available at Guitar Center, purchase your KROSS 2 61-key synthesizer today.
