Critic Reviews

macProVideo.com

macprovideo.com

The Korg Kross 2-88 impresses with its natural-hammer weighted keys, expansive sound library, and integrated audio interface, making it a versatile tool for studio and live settings. However, the lack of aftertouch, absence of XLR input for mics, and its cumbersome size requiring a robust case are significant drawbacks. While the sampler and drum sounds are commendable, the overall bulkiness might deter potential buyers. It excels in sound but falls short in portability and some features.

Korg Kross 2

soundonsound.com

The Korg Kross 2-61-MB synthesizer workstation impresses with its sound quality, portability, and affordability, making it a viable option for budget-conscious musicians seeking a Korg workstation experience. Its improved memory capacity, user-friendly controls, and lightweight build are significant enhancements over the original Kross. However, it falls short with a small screen reminiscent of the 1990s, lacks aftertouch capabilities, an XLR mic input, and relies on an external power supply. Despite these drawbacks, its comprehensive sound palette and features like a polyphonic arpeggiator and sequencer make it a strong contender in its price range.

Korg Kross 2 Review - The Ultimate Synth Workstation?

musictech.com

The Korg Kross 2-61-MB synthesizer workstation is a compelling package for musicians on the go, offering a robust feature set at a budget-friendly price. Its impressive 1,075 sounds and extensive effects suite are bolstered by a 16-track sequencer and sampling capabilities. The ultra-lightweight design makes it ideal for gigging, and the real-time controls add versatility. However, it lacks aftertouch, and its screen might feel dated to DAW users. Overall, the Kross 2 appeals to composers, gigging musicians, and producers seeking a versatile, portable workstation that delivers excellent value for money.

Fantastic Live Workstation

The Kross 61 has been a trusty companion for live gigs since the day I got it. It weighs only about 10 pounds (including recessed carrying handle), has a slim backpack gig bag you can get for it, has more usable sounds than you know what to do with, and has an awesome Favorites interface for recalling patches with just one button press. It's one of the most live-friendly boards I've ever seen.

It's not perfect (hence the four stars); 61 keys is enough for most things but no octave buttons is a downside, there are no real-time editing controls for cutoff etc. like most other workstations in this price range (new or old), and I don't think the PC editor is very intuitive. But overall if I were to pick between a Kross and any other entry-level workstation from a different brand, it would be the Kross every time. I'd pick the Kross over the Krome, to be honest.

However, unless you find one for a really good price used (I've seen them as low as $300), don't buy one. Buy a Kross 2. It's better in every way, and I really wish I had known it was coming when I bought my Kross a month before it was released.
