Korg KROSS 2 61-Key Portable Synthesizer Workstation

The Korg KROSS 2 61-Key is an ultra-portable synthesizer workstation weighing just 3.8 kg (8.38 lbs) with battery operation from six AA cells (approximately 6 hours of play time). The EDS-i sound engine delivers over 1,075 programs with 120-voice polyphony. A 16-pad sampler with one-shot and loop modes, an audio recorder, and a 16-track MIDI sequencer provide complete music creation on the go. USB audio and MIDI connectivity bridges mobile and studio workflows.

Sound Engine and Programs

The Enhanced Definition Synthesis-i (EDS-i) engine produces piano, electric piano, organ, strings, brass, synth, and drum sounds with up to 120-voice polyphony. Over 1,075 programs and combinations cover every genre from acoustic jazz to electronic dance music. Layer and split modes combine two programs across the keyboard. The Step Sequencer creates rhythmic patterns without external hardware.

Sampling and Recording

Sixteen velocity-sensitive pads trigger samples in one-shot, loop, or gate modes. Record audio directly from the inputs or resample the internal sounds. The built-in audio recorder captures stereo WAV files. A 16-track MIDI sequencer stores songs with up to 210,000 notes. 134 effect types across five insert slots, two master effects, and a total effect shape the sound.
