Excellent Studio Skynth Workstation

With 9 sound engines, I have almost every sound I need at my fingertips with the Kronos 88. I just wish the rotary dial had an indentation for a finger, as my finger keeps slipping off the dial and I end up using the Data Slider most of the time. Perhaps Korg can manufacture a cover to snap over the rotary dial that has a finger indentation (just an idea). It's just a minor issue. Otherwise, an excellent keyboard similar to the much higher-priced and now defunct OASYS. I really love that it now has 12 insert effects instead of 5, and it also has STEP RECORDING and EVENT EDIT, both of which I love and some of the reasons I purchased this "black beauty." Also, all engines work together in sequence mode! I haven't found a velocity slide in any of the guitar patches, and only falls/doit on the brass (no shakes). Perhaps I'm not looking deep enough and they might be included in the sample waveform set. I'm very satisfied with the KRONOS! The pianos (German and Japanese) are stunning.

Korg Kronos 88

Absolutely amazing instrument and workstation!! You will not be sorry if you buy one of these. Incredibly powerful and capable of virtually anything musical your ears/mind can create. Feature packed and sounds phenomenal. Every little nuance and subtlety of an instrument has been replicated in the Kronos.

Beautiful Keyboard

After working with the OASYS, and having messed with the M3 as well as like keyboards from other manufacturers I can honestly say this keyboard takes the cake. It has everything the OASYS had sonically, but with more sounds. The grand piano's, the EP's they really just blow away anything they've previously done as well as annihilate the competition. Don't hesitate buy this keyboard.

Korg Kronos 88

I think that after reading the manual, watching the 1 hour tutorial, then reading the manual again, I can now accomplish about 3% of the capability of this keyboard. For now, I have learned how to reproduce the exact sound of just about any synth / electric piano / keyboard sound I've heard before. Between the control stick and the various sliders and tone wheels, you can tweak a certain tone / voice just about out of anything. The keys are phenomenal and the action is better than my baby grand. Display is very good, sound engines for the most part are excellent. Some reproductions of certain instruments are not a 10 out of 10, and often only prime at certain levels on the register (some register's narrower than others to be more accurate). Only had for 30 days, so composing and mixing is going to be the primary use, and the functionality is tremendous for an "all in one box".

Korg Kronos 88 (88-key)

I haven't stop playing it since I got it BUT, I have been experiencing the same keybed glitch problem that I've seen on the Korg forums. Hopefully Korg will resolve this soon because I absolutely love this board and plan to use it as often as possible.

Great workstation, too bad RH keybed

Great sounds and engines, but too bad RH3 keybed with many cut off notes while playing
