Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
KORG’s KROSS 2 brings sound selection, sequencing, and real-time control into a 61-key workstation. More than 1,000 onboard sounds and 16 drum kits cover piano, organ, strings, brass, synth, and percussion parts. Build arrangements with the 16-track MIDI sequencer, then use the touch-sensitive pads for step entry or live phrase loops. Category buttons, knobs, pitch bend, and modulation wheels keep core sound changes close at hand, while USB and MIDI connections support a wider setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Building layered keyboard arrangements with 16 MIDI tracks, real-time recording, step entry, and note-by-note edits.
- Recording the keyboard’s internal sounds directly into a DAW while synchronizing with external MIDI equipment.
- Switching among piano, organ, strings, brass, synth, and drum sounds during a performance.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Buyers who require a stand or bench to be included with the keyboard.
