General

Not only does the Korg Krome owe its name to the popular Kronos series, that's also where it got part of its high-quality sound and comprehensive functionality. The Krome workstation is lighter of weight, though, and available for a more attractive price. This versatile keyboard is equipped with 61 semi-weighted keys, which lend it a realistic, low-resistance piano feel. The Korg Krome is surprisingly portable, can be used intuitively and offers better sounds than other models in the same price range and even some more expensive models. Whether you use it at home, in the studio or live on stage, with the Korg Krome 61-key workstation you're able to create professional music productions each and every time.

Korg Krome 61-key workstation: ultra-realism

The Krome features hundreds of studio-grade sounds, ranging from synth basses to strings. The most remarkable sounds, however, are the extremely realistic grand pianos and ultra-dynamic electric pianos, which have been borrowed from the Korg Kronos series. The Krome offers 4 GB of memory, which means each of its 61 keys triggers natural-sounding, full-length samples. There is also a selection of essential vintage effects for you to choose from, including phaser and tremolo, and the Korg Krome features a realistic rhythm section with more than 600 drum tracks and patterns as well. A single push of a button triggers professional drums that are automatically adjusted to the sound you're working with at that particular moment.

Versatile and intuitive touch screen interface

The Krome 61-key workstation really comes into its own when you use it on stage. Its clearly illuminated buttons and live performance controls offer you everything you need for quick sound adjustments during intense live shows. The heart of the Krome is a redesigned 7-inch widescreen Touchview colour display, which allows you to activate sounds and functions by touch, to drag them and to swype. All required controls, levels and information are displayed in high resolution. The Krome wouldn't be a workstation if it didn't feature powerful production tools, however. Fortunately it does, including a touch-controlled 16-track sequencer with all the effects and mastering tools you may expect from a full-fledged Korg workstation. With this 61-key workstation you're able to touch your music and make it come alive!

NAMM 2016: Casio MZ-X: A New MZ-2000?

Monday 11 January 2016

The image below recently turned up on the internet. Based on the text and the accompanying specifications, we assume that Casio is trying to lure us to their NAMM booth so they can present their latest keyboard/synthesizer: the MZ-X. This will likely remind keyboard enthusiasts of the MZ-2000, an old Casio model that, considering the words 'Reinvented, Reimagined, Reborn' is apparently about to be brought back to life. Rumour has it that two models will be released, the MZ-500 and the MZ-1000, but take that with a grain of salt; it's very possible that MZ-X is indeed the final name for this workstation.

NAMM 2016: Back to the '80s with Electro Harmonix

Tuesday 12 January 2016

Late last year, Electro Harmonix introduced the Crash Pad Analog Drum Synth, and at NAMM 2016 they'll be unleashing the Super Space Drum. Where the Crash Pad creates electronic cymbal sounds, the Space Drum generates a typically '80s drum sound - electronic yet warm and full of character. It can be used as either a standalone unit, or in combination with a looper or clock generator, for instance.
