Thank you very much, Daniel for such a very nice demonstration. Keep up the good work.
Sounds amazing, I have to get this. Excellent production, absolutely great, my man!!🎹
Awesome demo of the bonus sound pack. They sound really good to me.
Rock On Daniel, great job as always! I missed Gearfest this year and am sad I did!
Thank you very much. Complete, amazing demo.
Great playing and killer sounds!
Awesome, like always! Thank U! :)
Wow, what an amazing sound pack! Great job. Wanted to buy it but Sweetwater doesn't ships outside US. Usually after how much a product like this reaches mid life (so to release the soundpack as an external purchase)? When the time will come, is it going to be also available outside the US?
Hi Daniel, i'm tryng do decid what keyboard to buy, so i want to quest you about juno ds61 and the kross 2 61, what you have enjoyed more? about the keybed, the kross is better? And About rythm patterns what have more to offer? Tanks by the job
I can't wait to check this out in person. So glad I live close by Sweetwater
Daniel, this is a very nice demo and excellent programming. Please do a similar card for the Casio WK-6600 and WK-7600. I don't think you can add samples, but I think you could probably do a cool organ setup similar to what you did on the cross. The WK-6600 could use that. The pedal could be used instead of the mod wheel.
I have Kross 2 bt .. in my stand it is not properly fit because it is small can u suggest a good stand for Kross 2 please
Do any of the bass tones have bass slide? Usually the c or d of first octave
Hi, is it possible to create your own Auto Accompaniment Styles including drum programming in Korg Kross 2?
OBS: Idea is, create my own drum rhythms and save them as patterns and add them to the existing list.
If this is possible, please make a video teaching.
Thanks
Can i use my own SDHC CARD 32 gb with vst tones as wave file in the kross 2?
Great work here in the uk how would i get this card !!!
Please can u give ma tip how to use it as Vst in my DAW?i can already see it in my DAW,but does not produce sounds fmas Vst. Thanks in advance.
When I take output the sound quality of kross 2 sucks whether I take one or two outputs the quality is very bad. But it works perfectly with headphone. Does anyone know about this
does it sounds over sustain while im switching presets or it's cut of previous souond while im switching?
Hi Daniel - I have imported bonus cards 1,2,3,4, with ''load all programmes'' into the Kross 2 - will they overwrite all existing user programmes and will they remain in the Kross 2 when I power down? - thank you for your help - Chris
Is there a way to load drum patterns onto the pads? So drums loops and variations could be triggered by hitting the pads?
I saw a video on Andertons, the korg rep stated you could
Does it have a limit to how many keys you can play at once? My current synth/keyboard can only play eight at once, or four If i layer two sounds.
Hi Einar. The Korg Kross 2 has 120 notes of polyphony. So, on simple presets with a single sound, you can play 120 notes at once. A dual layer will allow 60 notes of polyphony. My B3 Organ simulation uses 10 layers (9 separate drawbar layers, plus percussion) which gives you a total of 12 notes of polyphony, but that's a rather extreme use of layers:-)
@@sweetwater thanks! That's a bit better than mine lol
If i order the Kross2 SE neon model from Sweetwater can i get these sounds with it? thx
Hello, java kartel! All of the Korg Kross models we sell, including the special edition neon version, do come with our SD card that includes the sounds Daniel demonstrated in the video.
Thanks for the interest!
Cody Kraus, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1766, cody_kraus@sweetwater.com
I had Kross2 want buy SD Card want use Indian tones & many where cani buy?
Are you making heavy use of the multi-sample feature of the oscillators for all of those sounds?
Hi Licinius. All of the sounds in the video (with the exception of the Blues/Jazz backing tracks) are using the huge library of built-in ROM sounds. Thanks for watching!
Great demonstration! Does this keyboard have utility function like transpose/ octaves?
Hi Roshanda. There are two buttons, in the upper-left corner, called S1 and S2. These can be programmed to be Octave switches. Transposition can be done on the Global Basic page. Thanks for watching!
I get this from Brendan Murphy at Sweetwater tomorrow
Awesome 👍❤
question how to get the card are there also other sound cards i have the kross 2 61 thank you
Hi, a bit late to the game but is this bonus bank sd card somehow available? I‘d love to purchase it. Thanks!
Which software is needed for making sample tone and for making wav file also
Hi Rajendra. KROSS 2 can accept 16-bit .WAV audio files that have a sampling rate of 44.1kHz or 48kHz. So, you can use any recording software (or hardware) that can save samples with those specs. Most DAWs can do this, and many free and paid apps can do this as well. Just search for apps that work with your specific computer, tablet, or phone. Thanks for watching!
Very nice 😄😄😉
can i buy just the sd card, was not seeing a link to just that
Best ever!
How do I buy the SD sound card that you demo?
Any way I can buy this in UK. Where is it for purchase on website please, all I can find is a copy of this vid on the website!
Can a computer be used to perform a sorg kross sequence? Otherwise the nuendo or protools midi sequence can record multitrack on the kross keyboard
Hi SUNEESH KOTTAKKAL Music Class. The KROSS 2's Combi Mode can have 16 Timbres, with each Timbre having a different MIDI Channel. A DAW such as Nuendo or ProTools can individually access all 16 Timbres via MIDI. Thanks for watching!
@@sweetwater Thank you very much for giving me a good answer to my little question.
I plugged in my new Kross 2 and tried to load the KR2-B3 Organ and Bonus Banks card. I did everything the "card instructions" say to do, go to the " Global/Media" tab, then do the Value to get to SW-KRB3.PGC, I press Function and get this message - " Media Write Protected". OK, I try to go further and no luck. I wish on the sheet that came with the card were instructions on how to disable "Protect" if that has to be done. Or what does have to be done? I cant get this to do the next step = advance to CATEGORY knob to select USER.
Wondering if this has that soldered in little nickle sized battery that requires a tech to replace vs the logical and customer friendly pop in, pop out kind? Might say online.
Also, this is probably in the manual too but can I disable the APR & DRUMS on combinations or does that have to be done manually and then written out of the combi? Hoping I can like this thing in a few more tries. I'll spend time reading the online manual a bit to see if I can get this to do what I want but I'm leaning towards sending this thing back.
Hi Rob. The only time you'll get a "Media Write Protected" is when you're trying to Write to the SD Card. The action you want to be doing is loading stuff to the Kross 2, not writing to the SD Card. Contact Tech Support and they'll walk you through the procedure.
@@sweetwater OK, thanks
How are you changing the the Leslie speed at 4:15? The mod wheel is changing drawbar settings... How are you working the speed accel / decel? Is it random? Expression pedal? I have my eye on a new workstation and have been seriously looking at this one.
Hi Guitarburt. I use the Sustain Pedal to toggle between Slow and Fast. I designed it that way so that you wouldn't need to get a second pedal, or switch jacks when you go to instruments that need a Sustain Pedal. Thanks for watching!
Sweetwater: I've ordered a Kross 2 from you and I can't wait for it to arrive. Question- the manual says I can load .KSC files and additional samples into 128MB RAM. Are there any additional samples available at this time? (I note below you say all the Sweetwater sounds use the internal ROM and don't load any new samples.) Do you have any demo showing how to load samples and play them on the keyboard (not the 16 pads)? Thanks - I can't wait for it to arrive.
Hi freetv77. We've been told that there may be additional sounds available from third-party sources, but we haven't seen them yet. Thanks for watching!
I'm enjoying my Kross 2, the bonus pack includes all the sounds release by Korg based on the Triton, plus the custom B3 that are fun also. 500+ I think. I've been sampling my K2000 and making Kross patches using my new samples (you can't properly loop samples so they take up sizable RAM). However, my Kross now has 1) a great velocity switched pick/slap bass, 2) very cools horns, 3) my favorite harmonica, and 4) a great Gretsch guitar (all but the bass from the Sweetwater samples). Next project - sample my OB-X. Korg really needs to enhance the sampling to have a loop point within the sample to reduce the sample memory requirements. Anyway, very cool and perhaps I'll make a demo of my new sounds if I get a chance.
@@freetv77 Wait, can you record audio directly in and then use those samples just like any of the built in multisamples?
Do they show up in the lists just like the built in waves? There's been some confusion on the internet about this and im trying to find out if i should buy this. They say you can only fill 16 keys from the pads and there's no pitching them across the keys (ala multisample style), they also say you can only use them in drum mode. it's just confusing. Could you enlighten me on just what can be done with it or ways its limited?
I have a Juno DS, but i learned afterward that its only via sample import and you cant record directly in. I hate that, I want to record into the board. So im thinking of replacing it with the Kross 2.
@@vforvillain77 Make sure you watch this video: czcams.com/video/AXb58yjSMVU/video.html
1) Step 1 is to get the samples on the 16 lower keys
2) Once you have them, you can access the samples as RAM mono or stereo and you can use them to create a drum set up. This pitch shifts perfectly, you can also velocity layer (for my bass I have pick and then slap based on velocity), use different samples across different ranges of the keyboard, and use all the synth modulation, filtering and Efx. So in someways its fully functional even though its a drum program. The samples only show up in a drum program and they don't show up in a normal program like other multisamples.
However, I haven't been able to get the portamento to work on a drum program, but so far that's the only limitation I've found. Well, the looping is limited (you can either loop the entire sample or nothing.)
I had great success sampling my OB-X. Unison Saw, Unison Pulse, Unison Saw/Pulse, Res Saws, Sweeps... I've got patches for Subdivisions, Tom Sawyer and Jump that , with the Efx, sound better than the real thing. However, because of the bad looping I've tended to make long samples (like 10 seconds long), and I've used up over 100M of the 128MB available. I did everything just using the keyboard - the sampling worked pretty good and I never touched a computer during the process.
Also, I'm exploring software from Chicken Systems that might let me convert the .KSC files made with the sample pads (that just work on the 16 lower notes right now) to full blown multisamples that will work just like the internal samples BUT I haven't done this yet, but I'm optimistic it will work.
I'd say its 80% of a fully functional sampler. If Chicken Systems works, or if they drop a new OS with a bit more functionality, it could easily be 100%.
Hope this helps.
@@freetv77 Sounds incredible, thank you. Unfortunately, be careful to avoid the upgrade, cuz i heard it killed all this and you can no longer get samples that you recorded directly in, onto the keys anymore. Your forced to use computer importing if you want custom sammples on the keys. :( That just killed the Kross 2 for me.
Hi, I live in South Africa.. Is it possible for me to order this card for my KORG Kross 2? Or does is only come with purchase from Sweetwater..I will pay good money to have those distorted ORgans
Hi Louwki Cronje. In the early life of a product, we tend to keep our Sweetwater-exclusive SD cards and thumb drives exclusive to Sweetwater purchases. But, as a product gets closer to its mid-life, we often makes these value-added products available for separate purchase. Thanks for watching!
Thanks guys.. Will keep an eye out for when it becomes available.
Do you guys sell this sd card separately? If so how much? I couldn't find this on sweetwater.com
Hi Abdiel. In the early life of a product, we tend to keep our Sweetwater-exclusive SD cards and thumb drives exclusive to Sweetwater purchases. But, as a product gets closer to its mid-life, we sometimes make these value-added products available for separate purchase. Thanks for watching!
HI! can I buy it digitally and download it? I'm not in the US
Can the sound stream director from the ad card, does needed any installation ?
Hi Tech in MEC. The file is loaded once from the card, and then, all of the additional Programs and Combinations will be there, as well as all of the Factory Progs and Combis. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
@@sweetwater ok, thank you sir for the reply.
Hi , can I compose 16 tracks full song with this keyboard??
Hi DHANUSHKA. The KROSS 2 has a 16-track Sequencer that can have up to 128 Songs and 210,000 MIDI events at once. (You can, of course, store much more than that on the SD card.) Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your kind reply. May i know is there any place that i can buy this in stockholm. Sweden. And the price? is it made in china or usa or what is the exact country this is made in ( for sweden market )
I'm from India. I want various piano, string, Violin tones. How I get this SD card?
Does this automatically ship with the Kross 2? My Kross arrives from Sweetwater tomorrow...
Hi Chuck. Yep, it does! If, for some reason you don't get it (since we just released it), one will be shipped to you. Thank you for your purchase :-)
I have a Kross 2 but not bought at Sweetwater, so is it possible for me to buy this SD card?
Hi astrophonix. The bonus SD card is currently only available with a Kross 2 purchase. Sometimes, though, we make our bonus materials available for separate purchase at a later date. Thanks for watching!
Sir I want sweet water sd card,can we download this tones.
What are the procedures before remove the sd card after use?
Hi sansong station. I usually just leave it in there. But it's usually safe to remove as long as the KROSS is neither reading or writing to the SD Card. You can be completely safe by inserting or removing it when the KROSS is off. Thanks for watching!
DOES THIS CARD COMES WITH THE KROSS 88 TOO ??? I GOT TO ADD THIS BABY TO MY STUDIO SET UP !!
Hi GMH. It does! Be sure to mention it to your Sales Engineer. Thanks for watching!
hey, i'm from India. how can i get these tones ?
Can i buy those files from you to write my own sd card? I live in Argentina, thanks in advance
Hi Marcelo Prive. Currently, the Bonus Banks are a Sweetwater exclusive bundled with Kross 2 purchases. But our value addedes usually become available for sale after the product has been out a while. Thanks for watching!
@@sweetwater Is it available now?
Did you put on Chuck's K250's 'Kurzweil Grand Piano'?
Hi mgabrysSF. The bonus card has programming to create my virtual B3 with Drawbars, as well as hundreds of sounds ported from the original KROSS library. But there are no sampled instruments, only programming-based instruments. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
@@sweetwater - there's a reference on the sheet to loading the card will erase something - what does it 'erase'? Also is there space on the card for saving your own files (how full is it?). Ty in advance!
where can I buy the card? I have the keyboard already

GREETINGS........ Hey Dan, No FM Electric Pianos on the Korg Kross 2........Any reason for that.
Hi Peter. Did you try: (starting at A009) FM EPiano Deluxe 1, FM EPiano Deluxe 2, FM EPiano Classic 1, FM EPiano Classic 2, FM EPiano Classic 3, FM EPiano +Strings, FM EP. + Pad 1, FM EP. + Pad 2, FM EPiano +Syn Pad, FM Suitcase EP?

In Toronto, there are fine recognisable music stores that showcase the KORG KROSS 2......it's not that hard going thru 1000 sounds if you really wanna know a board. But Dan, dial to E P......and what you hear is not what you named here. Hmmm.
@@sweetwater
Thanks though for all responses.
HI Daniel - I have received your bonus cards 1,2,3,4, for the Kross 2 - how can i download and print of a list of all the sounds, combis etc etc - thank you
Hi Witchdoctor Disco. I suppose it's possible to open the file with a simple text editor. You'll see a bunch of gobbledygook (synth parameter values) in between each preset title. Copy/Paste each of those titles into a different doc. -_Daniel_
Thanks Daniel - all sorted now - appreciate your videos - Chris
How dose one get one of them koool cards if ya already have Korgcross 2 ??
Hi Digi Aotearoa. The Bonus Banks and Drawbar Organ for the Korg Kross 2 is currently only shipping with Kross 2s sold at Sweetwater. But we often make our Value Added products available for purchase a year or two after it comes out. Thanks for watching!
I live in Germany,please where can i get thi card?
Hi OBT. After a keyboard has been out for a good while, we usually make its Value Added available for sale to the public. This particular thumb drive is the next one that's going to become available, so watch our website in the next week or so. Thanks for watching!
Have the bonus card but when I try to load it it says media write protected?
Hi Todd, If it's saying "Media Write Protected", then you are trying to SAVE to the SD Card instead of LOADing from it. Try following the written directions on the cover letter again. If you still can't get it to work, contact our Technical Support team. Thanks for watching!
I have the same issue. Did you find a solution?
If it says media write protectected take the card out. You will see a button on side. Slide it up. Now it will work.
With this work with the Korg Kross ? or only the Korg Kross II ?
Hi Myles, there are extra banks for the original Kross at the Korg website. But my B-3 simulator is not backwards compatible. Thanks for watching!
Is it that time to start selling the SD Card as a separate purchase yet, or do I have to check back in a year? 🤗
Definitely waiting!

Should I buy this or the Juno ds?
This, I've tried both. The only thing I thought was fantastic about the DS was the Cathedral organ patch but over all the Korg wins.
How a mic works along with live playing. Is it is solid for singing along with this workstation. Or else it is required to buy another audio interface?
hello, is it possible to open an mp3 song on korg kross 2?
Hi Krzysztof. The KROSS2 uses 16-bit .WAV stereo files with either a 44.1kHz or 48kHz sampling rate. You can use you computer to convert from .mp3 to a 16-bit, 48kHz .WAV file. (Use 48kHz since KROSS2 converts everything to 48kHz anyway.)

Hi Moises Soriano. Yes, it comes free with a Sweetwater purchase of the Kross 2. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
How can I get this card?
Can I use this keyboard as a controller?
Hi P.W. Since the Kross 2 can have 16 different parts, with each part assigned to an onboard sound or an external MIDI Channel, I'd say that it can be a pretty powerful MIDI Controller. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
Where can I buy the card?
Hi Dario. The Sweetwater ValueAdded thumb drives we made for the KROSS 2 is currently only being shipped with KROSS 2s bought from Sweetwater.
