The Korg KROSS 2 61-Key Synthesizer Workstation will fully unleash your creativity with over 1000 preset sounds, 134 types of effects, and PCM memory that is expanded by 128MB. This synth improves upon the hugely popular Korg KROSS with the addition of USB audio/MIDI interface functionality and a pad sampler that allows you to sample like a pro so you can make funky mixes or provide your own backup tracks and loops.
Endless Production Options
The Korg KROSS 2 expands your options for song production with 16 sampler pads so you can mix, distort, and re-imagine any sound and incorporate it into your songs. Sequencer, drum track, and arpeggiator options also offer support, and it's all on a panel layout that is so straightforward even beginning musicians won't be deterred. The KROSS 2 Synthesizer workstation makes production a breeze with single button quick layer/split specifications and the Favorite function that stores up to 128 of your frequently used sounds for instant recall.
Studio and Performance Ready
Multiple input jacks let you connect other instruments or mics so no matter what sound you or your group are shooting for, it's within your reach. While recording, you can quickly edit playback parameters in the Realtime control section. The EDS-i sound engine produces quality sound that is suitable for live performances in both small and large venues, and the ultra-lightweight body is compact and portable so you can transport your Korg KROSS 2 from the practice room to the gig.
