Korg Kronos SE 61

Descrizione

Korg's Kronos X was a versatile device, but the Kronos 61 beats it by a long shot. This version is also equipped with 9 independent sound engines, but features newer sounds. The Kronos 61 offers no less than 21 GB of waveforms, as well as an impressive 62 GB of space for downloadable Kronos libraries and your own samples. What's more, it's able to serve as a host for other MIDI controllers, such as drum pads. Thanks to a well-organised multi-colour touch screen (800 x 600), operating this workstation is a piece of cake. The Kronos 61's comfortable Natural Touch Semi-Weighted Action keyboard makes it easy to play both sultry piano pieces and funky synth parts.

Korg Kronos 61: a sea of sounds

Pianos, organs, strings, synthesizers - the Kronos 61 has it all. An SGX-2 piano engine provides you with an exceptionally realistic acoustic grand. Every single detail - string resonance, pedal performance, the opening of the lid - can easily be adjusted. There are special engines for electric pianos and tonewheel organs, and Korg has even enhanced the way in which their own samples are reproduced, by means of an HD-1 PCM sound engine. That means the available PCM samples (which can also be downloaded) are perfectly produced with a minimum chance of aliasing. Additionally, you'll find a number of synthesizers from the Legacy Analog collection.

Perfect for studio and stage

Korg has always been a front-runner in the world of workstations thanks to their well-known Karma technology, which has been made even better over the years. It ensures tight drum rhythms, key phrases, and backing tracks. You can create your own samples using the Open Sampling System, which you can load in from your computer. The Kronos works perfectly with commonly-used DAWs but is also equipped with an internal sequencer for 16 MIDI tracks and 16 audio tracks. Last but not least, you can assign up to twelve FX engines to your sounds, configure two as send/return, and use another two as master effects meaning you can use a total of 16 simultaneously.
