Korg Kronos 3 Music Workstation - 73 Key | New
Korg Kronos 3 Music Workstation - 73 Key
KRONOS is back-refreshed, refined, and ready to reclaim its place in the spotlight. The KRONOS with intuitive controls, access to over 300 premium Sound Libraries, and a suite of exclusive features, the newest KRONOS is designed to redefine what's possible on any stage and in any studio.
The New KRONOS refines the flagship workstation with upgraded system architecture, faster boot time, enhanced responsiveness, and expanded PCM content including an Italian grand piano and a new modeled Tine electric piano. All nine synthesis engines have been optimized, with improved integration and expanded effects processing. The interface features a more responsive touchscreen, deeper Set List customization, and enhanced sample streaming. Its fourth-generation design introduces subtle yet striking updates, including a durable powder-coated metal body and refined black wood side panels. With curated legacy libraries like Best of TRITON and CX-3 Signature Sounds, full backward compatibility, and support for third-party sound content, KRONOS 3 stands as the most complete and expandable KORG workstation ever, continuing a legacy over three decades in the making.
In addition to the thousands of included sound programs and combinations, the new KRONOS introduces 256 additional programs, carefully crafted to elevate your musical creativity. Central to this update are 128 brand-new sound programs, including a stunning Italian piano with gorgeous, transparent resonance, and the Tine EP I Early, an electric piano tone that authentically replicates the earthy, vintage sound of metal rod (tine) mechanisms.
The KRONOS control system has been meticulously refined over generations to deliver a performance interface as intuitive as it is powerful. Its layout-featuring eight real-time knobs, nine sliders, and a suite of performance controls-remains comfortably familiar, empowering musicians to focus on their craft and perform intuitively.
The nerve center of the KRONOS is KORG's enormous eight-inch (800 x 600 pixel) SVGA color TouchView display.
In addition to simply selecting a sound or choosing a parameter with the touch of a finger, the enhanced Touch-Drag ability allows more detailed control of parameter values. Interactive instruments and panel graphics provide the ability to do everything from adjusting the opening height of a grand piano lid to connecting patch cables on a semi-modular synthesizer model.
The TouchView display also hosts a convenient new Search Function, allowing you to search for (and preview) sounds based on their titles.
Each of the individual KRONOS sound engines is eminently qualified to operate as a stand-alone synthesizer. And each one represents the cutting-edge technology available for that type of sound creation. Exacting programming parameters, real-time controllers, integrated effects, and assignable modulation routings provide incredible control to create custom edits or to empower the ambitious sound designer
