  • @wildnites558
    @wildnites558 Před 3 lety +1

    I'm a Roland/Yamaha guy. But I loved the Korg Kross I when I first tried it out a few years ago. The one thing that kept me from bringing it home was the horrible keyboard feel. The keys depth and feel reminded me of a toy piano. I hope they improved the key bed in V. 2 because if they did, I will definitely be buying it! And I love the addition of the pads, very helpful during live shows. I wish Yamaha would do the same.

    • @PeterGarofalo
      @PeterGarofalo Před 3 lety +1

      I bought a Kross 2 & sent it back, just didn't like the keys feel. everything else is great , but I need to enjoy playing it & it felt plastic . Pity I've had loads of 61 keys Korgs & even a tactile 49key & they all play better than these keys., you can't do organ shreds on it. it's a workstation .

    • @madness8556
      @madness8556 Před 10 měsíci

      I felt the same way about the Yamaha modx6. Loved the sounds but the keyboard action was like a cheap crappy Casio so I didn't buy it.

    • @nlovescourage

  • @neorich59
    @neorich59 Před 5 lety

    Really helpful. Thank you. I'm thinking about buying the 88 Key version.
    I particularly need to create programmed sounds to call up easily in live situations. I appreciate that there are up to 16 parts, which is great.
    Does anyone know whether, or not, there are multiple split options available, i.e. to create a programme with say four different parts, or layers, in different areas of the keyboard, which can be saved, or it limited to one split?
    Any advice gratefully received! Ta..

  • @FrancisMaxino
    @FrancisMaxino Před 5 lety

    I've got one and have filled a bank of sampler pads full of Doctor Who samples like the tardis and sonic screwdriver, dalek ray gun etc. the other one has classic old Star Trek sounds, phaser, tricorder, ambient ship sound, door opening etc. ha ha ha, it's so funnty...my girlfriend hates them but I think they're marvellous, nothing like pressing a button and hearing the tardis materialising or the swoosh of a sliding door from the starship enterprise.

    Luke,
    You mentioned that Korg has upgraded the sounds....can you please define the word...upgrade??Reason I ask,is that both Kross 1 & 2 have the same engine,the same effects & both have 4 voices per oscillator...which just leaves the PCM content.Is the extra 16MB of PCM data of the Kross 2,applied to some of the presets from the old Kross?Or does the increased ROM just account for the Kroos 2's total number of presets?

    For those of you considering buying it
    Remember the demo shows bits of a music style but he never changes instruments or tones. if he had done it his performance would suck greatly lol
    Plus when you select category, and if you have to go to guitar patch 70 you have to jog dial
    Yes you can add them to favorites but that’s taking away your sample pads I don’t know I don’t like the idea.
