Korg Kronos 61

When innovative ideas and cutting-edge technologies merge with maximum motivation, spectacular instruments like the 2015 model year KRONOS are born. Designed by KORG for today's most demanding performers and producers - and tomorrow's most creative sound designers - KRONOS embodies an artistic vision developed over more than 5 decades and the highest level of manufacturing expertise. With nine self-contained synthesis engines and a full suite of performance and production tools, the 2015's KRONOS is the most versatile synthesizer ever. KRONOS brings back the magic, excitement and anticipation that can only be felt with visionary new instruments. And KRONOS lives up to expectations. All the resources and technologies useful to modern musicians have been enhanced, perfected and integrated into this one instrument for instant access. Several state-of-the-art sound generation processes represent the pinnacle of software realization. Onboard effects process internal or external audio sources with terrific results. Audio and MIDI multitrack recording allow efficient studio procedures on a mobile platform. Hands-on hardware includes a freely assignable control section, two joysticks, a ribbon controller, an excellent keyboard and KORG's revolutionary Touch & Drag TouchView™ color display. KRONOS combines all of these musical tools in a way that is unmatched by any software setup or hardware platform. KRONOS not only effortlessly meets all expectations, but also some pipe dreams. A Set List mode keeps things tidy and organized, and allows you to select personal settings and play notes on-the-fly. "Smooth Sound Transitions" prevent notes and effects from being cut off when switching sounds or modes. The 8" TouchView color display lets you route virtual patch cords, select sounds, and edit envelopes and sequences. Add to that drum track composing tools, KARMA, KORG's exclusive wavesequencing, MS-20 filters and an incredibly dense Polysix chorus. And KORG's unmatched sound design team constantly delivers a supply of fresh, high-quality sounds.
