Korg – Kross 2-61

KROSS 2, the long-awaited successor of the KROSS, is a compact, portable workstation with a huge range of sounds. While maintaining its identity as ultra-lightweight, compact, and capable of running on batteries, this new model dramatically enhances KROSSs sounds and functionality. In addition to a total of more than a thousand preset sounds, expansion PCM memory has been newly added. Also new is a pad sampler that allows full-fledged sampling, and USB audio/MIDI interface functionality. The color scheme is even more stylish, and the user interface allows intuitive operation even by beginners. Effortlessly select the sound that you want to play, shape it to match your imagination, sample a sound, create phrases and rhythms, record your vocal or guitar, bring KROSS 2 on stage, and perform. Whatever you artistic vision, you can make it happen. KROSS 2 is a versatile synthesizer platform made with creative freedom in mind.KeyboardKROSS 2-61 61 keys (velocity sensitive; aftertouch not supported) Normally C2C7(adjustable in the range [C1C6][C3C8]SystemEDS-i?Enhanced Definition Synthesis – integrated?Sound EngineMaximum Polyphony 120 voices (120 oscillators), single mode 60 voices (60 oscillators), single mode * The actual maximum polyphony will vary depending on oscillator settings such as stereo multisamples and velocity crossfading.
