This is the problem with with most demo videos out there. They would waste precious demo time talking and playing the most worthless stuff the instrument has to offer. Rather utilize the time to show the great sounds which will make them an instant choice for those who are considering to buy it.
Beautiful keyboard. Although Kronos 2 is newer I prefer the design of Kronos X. What an amazing keyboard the new Kronos. We'll both are amazing. Thanks for nice video
The same. Montage is a great synth regarding sounds, alternative sound design etc., but it is not a workstation, so hasta la vista with that ... They just could not put a normal sequencer inside, well they have time:)) maybe in 10 years they can manage:))) Korg Kronos is great. Has it all. If you want to work, play like a pro, this is the thing.
I just got the KRONOS but i trying to get into the pattern sequencer mode.. meaning i want to make different pattern sections which makes up the full song which allow me to control each section of my progression... can you show that? On the motif it's very easy to make pattern sections...you have pattern A - P which you can put the intro on A, Verse on B, Chorus on C, Bridge on D...etc... It's very hard to figure that out on the kronos...let me know.thanks
Hi, what stand is that and what is the pad you played at 6:00? Thanks for the great overview. Also, would it be wise to wait until after the Jan. Naim show in case Korg updates the Kronos again?
Please explain to me. I'm a organ player but I want to add an keyboard that will let me play songs that I can blend any sound I want. I want to play modern songs ... Does this allow me to blend any sound I want
I've been gigging with the Triton Extreme 76 and the N264 76 since 2004 as a single act. There is no doubt in my mind that the Kronos 88 will be my workstation upgrade. I love the op system layout, the sound engines and the great keyboard action. Korg really blew the competition away with this monster. Thanks Rich Formidoni, love your tutorials.
I wish Kronos gave me the same feeling as when I first set to work on my Triton EX all those years ago. But for whatever reason it just didn't. A year later and I'm back using the TEX 76 with Moss. Sad :(
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd in 2019, the SE is the SAME internal hardware as the original KRONOS as far as CPU and motherboard. Very sad to see this. I think we have finally seen the end of the flagship workstation from Korg.
Sorry sir, but you are wrong, financial statistics speaks for itself, until this day, Kronos is one , if not, the best workstation in the market, you can even bring the new Roland fantom, and is not even full product yet, yes, it has a better easy and interactive interface screen, but check the specs from both products, korg still has the upper hand, sound wise, both still are in great market, so it’s a matter of opinion that you feel that way
How well does the new Kronos integrate into an existing DAW? I'm not much of a live player, most just segments for videos I produce. Can it be used as an interface also (replacing my MOTU unit)?
I LOVED workstations in my 20s and early 30s.Had everything from a Gem ws400 to the korg triton pro....do u really need workstations these days? I have just evolved years ago to midi controller boards and pro tools
+Tommy Orr I have stuck with the midi controller keyboard for years until now. I have found I don't always want to be in the studio room and/or want to start up the computer.
I never even used my work station as a work station. Best part is being able to dig in so deep into modifying the sounds and customizing them and keeping them. Just seems like you can't get that in a synth unless it's a work station.
"We now have this great piano the Berlin Grand and now you can find sounds by the song names but wait.. you have to pay extra for them." Is that a joke?
I purchased a Kronos a few years ago and still having trouble understanding it. I am trying to make individual loops so as to join them together to make a complete song. Not as easy as I expected. Can u direct me to an easy to understand video on this as well as the voice input feature.only used this a few hours. Love the sound but very complicated so far.
I am a great fan of Korg, burps the one question that's bugging a me off is " Is it not a professional way to record Korg keyboard patches into the DAW with the master reverb MFX On" ? Or is it recommended to turn it off ? Please guys let me know your advice ? BTW I found Korg's MFX Reverb adds Shine to its patches/instruments. Very curious to know if that creates any problems while mixing. Thanks in advance
jl644 yeah the Motif is also outdated but still pretty much around like the Kurzweil PC3K8. That being said all 3 are great boards! Depends on the personal taste of each individual. I use to use Korg even if I use to work for Yamaha before. Now that my friends and classmates use Yamaha and Korg Kronos one of them recommended the Kurzweil. Peace everyone!
***** Dang I just remembered the band Toto use Yamaha Motif one 88 keys and one 61 keys! I bet you're one of the awesome keyboardist of Toto and you're just using a different name here on TH-cam kind Sir! hehe Peace everyone!
I don't really want a workstation in 2019 or to work with a small screen, let alone a touch screen. I'd rather connect a keybard to the computer and view everything in big display with a psychical keyboard. Workstations like the kronos seem dated in 2019. I bet the next korg flagship will be nord stage like but with stronger synth engines. It's like playing a video game using a touch screen rather than a joystick or physical keyboard and mouse - extreme handicap feeling.
people just wanna know how good the sound patches are inside. give less talking and more jamming so we the players can get a better ideal how great the keyboard really is. the sound patches suck. still cant beat the flag ship Yamaha ,
you think so? What is better? I usually stick with korg because their keys are very playable, at least on the m3 88 the keys feel great compared to most virtual pianos
Thats right! I remember the 1st time I bought a pro Workstation ( Think it was the Ensonique MR) and was actaully surprised when I got it home and Then had to go out and buy an amp lol. Till I found out I could line it into my stereo! Ahhhh I was young and naive.

TheMaddazhell the Kurzweil or the Montage is what you're looking for kind Sir! This board may work for others, or you could go for a Novation keyboard and some vst plug in. maybe that suits your needs better kind Sir!
Agreed 100%. My friend has an M3 module, I played a lot with it, didn't like it, design wise it's tedious and I know its got older sounds than the Kronos but I didn't like M3 sounds what so ever. They were bad.
Was gonna buy a car (used) but decided to go with this instead.. 🤣
That's actually what Hans Zimmer did and... we all know how he turned out haha!
That's what public transport is for!
This is the problem with with most demo videos out there. They would waste precious demo time talking and playing the most worthless stuff the instrument has to offer. Rather utilize the time to show the great sounds which will make them an instant choice for those who are considering to buy it.
Kronos = King of keyboards🎹✌👍
Beautiful keyboard. Although Kronos 2 is newer I prefer the design of Kronos X. What an amazing keyboard the new Kronos. We'll both are amazing. Thanks for nice video
Andrés Castillo Sotomayor Just got one. I love it!!!
Decided i'm gonna buy a kronos. Was gonna buy a montage till i listen to this vid lol
Daniel Scott-Lewis congratulations on your soon to be new keyboard kind Sir!
The same. Montage is a great synth regarding sounds, alternative sound design etc., but it is not a workstation, so hasta la vista with that ...

Thank you mr kidDynamite Kid
John Doe you're most welcome kind Sir!
@@HornetBojan is it true the montage has no sampler too?
Who's still watching this? This July 30, 2018! Love it!
March 2020 - still loving it!
Hey there! I would like to find out what's the name of the speakers and mixer that you are using for the Kronos setup? Thanks, peace out!
I wish I could play good enough to feel worthy to buy one of these !!
practice practice practice and you will be good enough!
Or not. Take me for example: at intermediate level for thirty years.
4000 € .... This is a very expensive synthesizer but had a very powerful sound i love it
Its a workstation thats why its expensive. Synths are less expensive.
I play this in real life
I just got the KRONOS but i trying to get into the pattern sequencer mode.. meaning i want to make different pattern sections which makes up the full song which allow me to control each section of my progression... can you show that?

Please explain to me. I'm a organ player but I want to add an keyboard that will let me play songs that I can blend any sound I want. I want to play modern songs ... Does this allow me to blend any sound I want
TheChrisnab100 yes you can!
if you want a korg keyboard like this but cheaper get a korg m50 (older) or korg krome
Beautiful Instrument and Demo.
Would you guys consider selling a CD with your music?
I've been gigging with the Triton Extreme 76 and the N264 76 since 2004 as a single act. There is no doubt in my mind that the Kronos 88 will be my workstation upgrade.

Love this monster👍✌🎹
ok, be impressed by the sounds,- but not to much, remember: it is YOU that have to play it....;)

The best one from Korg in the recent !!

Youre right, nobody uses workstations nowadays. Due to the sound obviously.
Hardware is still the best way to go! With computers just a few virus and your work goes down the drain!
Same here! The sounds are bland
I never even used my work station as a work station. Best part is being able to dig in so deep into modifying the sounds and customizing them and keeping them. Just seems like you can't get that in a synth unless it's a work station.

Beautiful keyboard! If you need dust covers for your studio, visit our store! All dust covers are custom made to fit your equipment
Shut up and take me money!
Unfortunately at the lower keys, you're still receiving that digital, fake, piano sound. :/ that's what i did never like.
i have the original Kronos. thank you Korg to have made the upgrade to the latest specs possible. now the Mac/Win Editor 3.0.2, when? can't wait...
Kraft Music: Purveyors of plastic cheesy choons to the masses.
I'll get my coat.....
A beast of a keyboard. The only choice if you want a workstation... but Nord Stage 2 for stage piano and gigging board.
May i use this like árranger keyboard... like pa 600
I need to talk to you. I don't need a work station, but I want semi weighted keys. I need midi put. Heeelp! Lyn challands on fb (Australia)
Does Korg have a similar one to this but a little more updated?
Very nice!
I agree with ACL stands. Korg T-3 still stands out to me. Wish they would bring it back
,,, I thought Rich Formidoni is working for Casio?

entirely subjective and up to you
What is the sound on 7.50 I know it's an organ but what organ or setting is it?
ME DIGAM QUE ESSA PRIMEIRA MUSICA QUE COMEÇA EM 00:00 EXISTE E QUE NÃO FOI ELE QUE INVENTOU SE TIVER OU EXISTIR ELA ME FALEM POR FAVOR!
So much technique, so little legacy
Impressive
This is why I was disappointed with Yamaha.. no touch screen on their motif models.. this is the 21st century for god's sake.
Loved the Motif for its big dry sounds tho! I preferred it over the Korg triton!
jl644 yeah the Motif is also outdated but still pretty much around like the Kurzweil PC3K8. That being said all 3 are great boards! Depends on the personal taste of each individual. I use to use Korg even if I use to work for Yamaha before. Now that my friends and classmates use Yamaha and Korg Kronos one of them recommended the Kurzweil. Peace everyone!

hi. does this keyboard have inbuild styles.?
Which is the stand that you're using, Sir ?

You don’t plan on playing live, do you...
what is the model number for this plz
oi boa noite vc entregao a mercadoria para o mundo todo aqui para o Brasil
i will have this or a drum kit one day.
They Got The Right Guy for That Demo~ FOR SURE
Korg never could do pianos well. My friend has this Kronos and there's not one usable acoustic piano.
I must be spoiled by Kurzweil K2600 and its fantastic pianos. I just got a Yamaha Montage and the pianos dont impress me much.
This guy works in Casio now...
people just wanna know how good the sound patches are inside. give less talking and more jamming so we the players can get a better ideal how great the keyboard really is. the sound patches suck. still cant beat the flag ship Yamaha ,
If you'd like to hear more playing and less talking, check out our performance video:

yeah still waiting for mine....
How much is Kronos 2 Korg now? 88 keys ... workstation
$4000 USD (includes tax)
Absolutely outdated.__ hardware as well as sounds...Sorry guys. Anti aliasing for the text...Korg please...Sounds sound horrible...
you think so? What is better? I usually stick with korg because their keys are very playable, at least on the m3 88 the keys feel great compared to most virtual pianos
Solomon Jenkins well said and spot on Sir!
pupsamson777 yup I agree with you there Sir!
What is a prise of keybord
Excelente maquina lastima el precio muy costoso, sobre todo en valledupar colombia
+ildefonso amaya olivo en cuánto está en Valledupar?
One of the most boring synthesizers I've ever heard. Just an enhanced organ or glorified electric piano. Not my cup of tea.
I recommend Moog Sub 37.
Steven Streight synth maybe boring, but this one is a workstation kind Sir.
There should be a demo video of the workstation features, and one that focuses on less organy sounds and more synthetic tones.
9:04 haywyre mode
what song is that ?
graded hammer action?
nothing impressive
Wonderful ..
SONG: 00:00 PLEASE!
Super demo
How much ?
Idk what to buy Korg Kronos or the Nord Electro 5 73sw
+Dante Myers Nord any day of the week
Dante Myers go for Korg Kronos user friendly.
awesome!
christ what ugly software
DarthClam What keyboard workstation would you recommend with better software?
Excellent!!!
Wow....
Amazing!!
I ♥ ♪ KORG
does it have built in speakers?
I dont think any pro keyboard has speakers except the digital pianos and arranger keyboards
+Reiley Williams No.
Thats right! I remember the 1st time I bought a pro Workstation ( Think it was the Ensonique MR) and was actaully surprised when I got it home and Then had to go out and buy an amp lol. Till I found out I could line it into my stereo! Ahhhh I was young and naive.
this ain't better than the Nprd keyboard
Korg technology is good. But I find it is to masculine for me the sounds are too dark and dreary for me.
+Veronica McCarrison so you just want some female love? :)
So, what is your likening as a brand? I am Curious and what type of music you are playing?
confidential303
I like all brands Yamaha is not bad

You are funny.. I want a keyboard that is easy to operate.
I like yamaha piano... I dislike the korg :(
Does this have a headphone socket?
Yes, of couse.

All instruments dosent sound natural to me! The synths and pads sound great do.
Haha, good one
If i would have purchased the last version id be pissed. Are you offering any kind of upgrade deal to those customers?
OS upgrade is free and the new sounds available for purchase at the Korg sound store.
Yamaha sounds better
