Main Features

Main Features
New realms of sound for the keyboard
player and the musical creator
The KROMEs EDS-X (Enhanced Definition
Synthesis-eXpanded) is a newly designed sound
engine that delivers the synthesis, modulation,
effect functionality and quality of the EDS sound
engine acclaimed by professionals, while
additionally allowing more than ten times as much
PCM sound data to be controlled.
Voicing technology developed for the KRONOS has
been lavishly applied, giving you a total of 4GB of
high-quality PCM data that includes long stereo
samples captured for each key. From the sounds
attack to its decay, every detail has been carefully
designed for subtle and dynamic expressive power.
The emotion in your fingertips will be faithfully
transmitted to your listeners via this wide array* of
sounds: acoustic pianos, electric pianos, organs,
wind instruments, synths, and drums.
* The KROME contains 640 preload programs (basic
sounds) and 384 preload combinations that can
use multiple programs.

Effects
The KROME contains 193 different types of effects,
ranging from chorus, delay, reverb, overdrive, and
simulations of vintage effects and amps, each
boasting professional-level quality and flexibility.
Effect Presets let you easily store and recall all of
the settings for an individual effect.

Drum track patterns

The drum track is a built-in drum machine function
that uses the KROMEs high-quality drum sounds.
There are 605 patterns.

Keyboard and controllers for richly

expressive performances
The KROME 61 and 73 feature a Semi-Weighted
Keyboard that provides a great-feeling way to play
everything from piano sounds to synthesizer
sounds.
The KROME 88 features a NH (Natural Weighted
Hammer Action) keyboard that is especially
advantageous when youre playing sounds that
allow subtle nuances of expression such as piano
and electric piano.
In addition to the joystick, tonal changes can be
controlled by buttons (SW1, 2) where you can
assign functions such as octave shift or joystick
lock, and realtime controllers that you can use to
adjust cutoff, resonance, or effects while you play,
making your performances even more expressive.
Three jacks where you can connect a damper pedal,
foot switch, and foot pedal are provided. These
allow you to use your foot to adjust the volume,
control the effects, or switch sounds.

Sequencer for music production or

performance

You can use up to 8 of these effects

simultaneously, with 5 Insert Effects, 2 Master
Effects (for reverb sends, for instance), and 1 Total
Effects (for stereo bus processing). Each program
provides a three-band EQ, letting you use up to
sixteen such EQs in each combination or song. In
addition, there is also a 3-band EQ for each of the
sixteen MIDI tracks.

The internal sequencer provides 16 MIDI tracks and

one master track. Theres a full complement of
functionality for music production and performance,
including Auto Song Setup that lets you start
producing a song the moment inspiration strikes,
template songs, RPPR, and cue lists.

The master effects and total effect can be turned

on/off from the front panel.

SMF data can also be imported or exported, allowing

smooth integration with another platform such as your
computer.

Dual polyphonic arpeggiators

In addition to the traditional arpeggio patterns of the
past, these arpeggiators can generate guitar or bass
riffs as well as drum patterns. They can also be used as
part of the sound designing process to create pads,
synth sounds, and sound effects that include a subtle
sense of movement. In Combination mode and
Sequencer mode, you can use two arpeggiators
simultaneously.
There are 900 user arpeggio patterns, giving you
amazing potential for powerful performances.
Original patterns can be created quickly and easily by
editing patterns in the piano roll screen.

You can edit tracks and patterns in the track view or in

a piano roll screen.

Computer connection via USB

SD card slot
You can connect the KROME to your computer via
USB for easy transfer of MIDI data. You can also use an
SD card (commercially available) to easily manage the
KROMEs file data.

KROME sound editor

The KROME Editor and the KROME Plug-In Editor
allow you to edit on your computer while viewing
large numbers of parameters simultaneously, or to use
the KROME as a software synthesizer on your
computer.
* Please download the latest version of the KROME
sound editor from the Korg website
(http://www.korg.com/).
