EDS-i Sound Engine Powers 134 Pro-Grade Effects
At the core of the Kross 2 is Korg's EDS-i sound engine, providing a studio-grade foundation for your music. EDS-i lets you use up to seven effects at once, including essentials like delay, reverb and chorus as well as amp modeling and a robot vocoder effect. Korg's REMS modeling technology ensures amp simulations sound rich, natural and dynamically responsive. With 134 high-quality effects on tap, you have all the tools to craft your signature sound.
Full Production Suite for Composing and Performing
The Kross 2 doesn't just play sounds--it's designed to help you create music. A 16-track MIDI sequencer, drum track, arpeggiator and step sequencer derived from Korg's Electribe grooveboxes provide an intuitive, hands-on environment for songwriting and beatmaking. Mic and line inputs, an audio recorder and sampling capabilities turn the Kross 2 into a live performance powerhouse. Load your own samples or capture audio on the fly--the possibilities for improvisation are endless.
Premium Keyboard Feel for Expressive Playing
The Kross 2 88-key model features Korg's lauded NH keybed, which recreates the weighted hammer action of an acoustic piano. Heavier in the lower register and lighter in the upper, the NH action allows for sensitive, nuanced playing across the full range of the keyboard. Piano and electric piano sounds truly come alive under your fingertips, while the keybed's portable design means you can bring the same premium feel to every performance.
