The Kronos X Music Workstation (73 Keys) from Korg - Cape Town

Korg KRONOS X73 Music Workstation

The Kronos X Music Workstation (73 Keys) from Korg comes in three varieties, distinguished only by the number and type of keys. This 73-key version features a real weighted, hammer action keyboard and includes nine sound engines - realistic piano, expressive electric piano, tone wheel organ, digital synthesis, and analog/physical modeling. For the live performer or studio musician/composer/sound designer, the instrument contains everything needed to create great tracks.

For the performing keyboard player the keyboard provides extensive control options. In addition to the responsive keyboard, controllers include joysticks, sliders, knobs, switches, a ribbon controller, assignable pedal inputs, and a high-resolution color TouchView display. Performance-oriented additions include an easy-to-use set list mode and a smooth sound transition feature which allows notes from a previous patch to decay naturally rather than be cut off.

For the producer, music director, and musician, the workstation is equipped with a 16-track MIDI track plus 16 audio track sequencer. An open sampling system, multiple effects and a large selection of preset sounds allow for total in-keyboard production. Add to that the ability to use KARMA, a dedicated drum track, and the sequencer's RPPR greatly speeds up the music creation process. And for the sound designer, the keyboard delivers numerous synthesizer engines for endless programming possibilities.
