- We have done a little demo/ comparison video showing how the sounds differ between the Korg KROME and Korg KROSS workstations. We do not demonstrate the differences in technical abilities between the products, this is just focused on the sounds of the instruments to show how good each product is. How do you think they compare?
Direct comparison begins at: 03:25. Rather well done, I'd say.
I listened through decent headphones and hear differences, but they seem quite closely matched.
I really appreciate this video. It has given me an exact dimension of what the Kross sound. And you saved me money.
please, have you tried also juno-ds ? something to note??
Wow. KROME sounds much more amazing than KROSS. I own KROSS and I still love it for its portability and versatility with audio mixing, plus it can play with batteries. Thanks for this. I might consider getting KROME for home use though.
+Jeremy Jay Lim I bought the Kross88 a year ago and used it for a three month period on an Island in the south Pacific with more than normal humidity having to set it up 5 days a week (only 26lbs.) with no problems. I still have a Korg pa3xpro 76 (super great workstation) at home with semi-weighted keys which is a bit more difficult and less inspirational for any pianist than the weighted of the Kross88. I am about to invest in the Krome88 basically for the screen, sound quality and presumed versatility as a workstation. I travel a lot and very often internationally and the pa3xpro is super expensive to fly and carry through airports. I wish to keep it home. The Krome88 is lighter and seemingly more versatile than the Kross88. I need to investigate just a bit more.

Many thanks for the comment. I am about to order it and I think I will have 30-45 days to check it out. There is one important but not decisive question I have. Do you know if you can see lyrics on the screen like on my pa3x?
Kim Diez
Much appreciation for the response. When I arrived home from the gig in the South Pacific and played the pa3x's piano, what I thought was going to happen, happened. I knew I would miss the piano touch and sound the Kross offered. Already booked to return in June, I know I made the right decision to sell to the hotel. I just hope that I will be that happy with the Krome until then.
Krome does have over a gig of sound while kross just have a few hundred megabyte’s
Me quedo con el Kross por su excelente y nitidez calidad de sonidos.
I think the choice of sounds/voices for the Kross in the 1st part of the video was poor -- compared to those chosen for the Krome. The Kross sounds had much more sonority than the Krome -- which, I think, made the Krome sound 'cleaner'. I don't think either sounded as good in this YT video as they really are.
kross presets sounds brighter, more fun and rocky :), despite the price; I briefly tried X50 years ago and liked it a lot; but today, I am looking for juno-ds vs kross (and most important is out of the box creativity and inspiration - the kross soundsnice too) - I know that advices are not so usefull than to try it myself, but have somebody one?

I have a Kross and for me it's very good (but im not exactly an expert...)
a lot of variety in the sounds and in general they are very good.
I didn't try the Roland so i cant give a real advice.....
Krome goes for me👍
LOS DOS SON MUY BUENOS , ME QUEDO CON EL kORG KROSS
So I bought a krome 61 and I was like ugh I need more keys so I looked to trade with soem other guys,, and someone was selling a 73 model so I told him I'd trade and pay the difference and mine had a lot of extra samples, so he didn't want to,, next week a friend of mines asked me to fix his DX-7 and he said if I knew anyone that would trade a 73 krome for a 61 cus he said he didn't need the extra keys plus it didn't fit in his case... i was like omg!!!!!!!!! So y'all probably know the outcome of that hehe i was so happy cus then later tonight I have a huge gig! And now I'm very excited
So what's the rest of this boring story and who gives a crap...
i actually feel the KROSS sounds cleaner , more like the Krono's
i wanna get one to go along with my Krono's which im getting in 2016 also
My rig will be all Korg ...
M50 , MICROKORG , KROSS , KRONOS and possibly RK100s also for live gigging
+Matthew Garufi Of Audio Fix Productions Soundwise the Krome tops the Kross in every way... The Kross is a stripped down version of the Krome. Smaller PCM soundset, less polyphony, more inexpensive build...
looneyburgmusic !
Thats nice. Although most people who have the money to buy multiple synths get different brands because each brand has its strengths and weaknesses in each sound category. Depending on genre too. But none the less, you should definitely look into getting a sponsorship from Korg.
i have the Kross and sounds very good! but did you try using the same patch on both?
i HAVE 2 KEYBOARDS , ONE BEING A korg/ Krome. the other --Roland VR09 THEY ARE GREAT TOGETHER. & MY KROME HAS THE DAN STESKO KILLER PACK ADDED. UNBELIEVABLE SOUNDS ALL UP. WOULD NEVER GET RID OF MY KROME.
Krome sounds better, but it doesnt have external audio recording like Kross, I dont understand Korg sometimes
carloasis they had to add the audio recording to give ya a reason to but the kross. I own the kross,krome and kronosx. They all are fun in their own right.

Hello!
would you please advise if Krome has notably improved sound quality compared to Kross. I'm about to buy keyboard soon. Money is not a problem, but I like Kross' direct line input (guitar,mike) and convenient sequencer button line. I'm aiming at 88 version on both.
So, my decision would go in favor of "better sound quality", since I'm interested into hi-fi music production, recording and perhaps selling it.
I was listening to some sound comparisons between the two online , but I have heard only difference in sound, can't distinguish if sound is "good" or "bad", or how refined is it.
Thanks!!!
The recorder in the Kross is quite nice. Not as noisy as the synth itself sounds when you simply play it.
@@ikesquared never understand such people who have Kronos, Krome and Kross. It's like have a one Car BMW 750, second - BMW 550 and BMW 320.
same here
Nice comparison....very creative too.
I think they are completely different. Different sounds all together.
Kross lo maximo.
I use both of them...2 great machines
Honestly, what was the point of this video? You of all people should know that the Kross, while a nice enough synth, is an entry-level, stripped down version of the Krome. While Korg did throw in some extras that the Krome doesn't have, and it is based on the same synth engine, there is just no way it can stand "toe-to-toe" with the Krome sound-wise...
Yes. That was particulary obvious with the last two pieces. The strings on the krome are amazingly realistic.
How about the feel of both Korg., hmm i guess krome has a realistic feel right? comment below please need your reactions
Rj Bondoc its actually the same keybed. The only difference is the velocity.
I hope someone can tell me if I can use my home made sequences, from my pa3xpro saved on USB storage, on the Krome88 via SDHD card. I know the Krome88 uses the cards but, the midi sequences needed to be seriously adjusted for the Kross88.
Muy buen sinte el Kross, pero eso lo elegi por sus sonidos legendarios y elegantes.
Yo tengo el Korg Krome. MUY BUEN TECLADO. Saludos
Mauriciokeyboard fragoso por favor sácame de una duda a esos sintetizadores se le pueden crear ritmos y/o estilos como los arranger?? Estoy buscando un teclado que sea sintetizador y arranger al mismo tiempo.
Kross very excellent High sound quality and combination quality
High Material
Kross Number one 😎😎😎
Hi ! I have a korg Kross id like to know How can i have/find that sound of your left hand (in second 27) thank you!
Damn 3 years and no reply you are a different type of cold Mister uploader
Muito bom!!!
Dose Korg Krome has an auto accompany system?
can inform me if the kross has 61 velocity sensitive .. Or what the system of keys?
Hey could you tell what combi youre using at 0:26? thanks
Which is better, krome or kross?
suena mucho mejor el kross ...bendiciones
Qual foi lançado primeiro ?
eres muy buen musico... voy por krome.... grac
Great job, how are they compared to M3 / M50?
Why?? Unlike these m3 and m50 have the exact same sound engine so sound for sound, they’re the same.
What is the name of the song played at 4:09?
*Some* of the Kross patches sounded better. Usually not, but sometimes.
What is the name of the song played at 1:07 ? Give me the tittle of the song please 🙏🏼
Hi, that would be a version of Rosanna by Toto. Thanks
krome seems to have a fuller sound .
The Kross sounds a little worse in person. Rather thin and lo-fi.
Yes I agree. The Krome has a more detailed and fuller sound.
Sin duda el Korg Krome es mejor tiene más calidad y peso
Sir korg krome best or korg pa700 best psl sugess
Pa700
M1 sound more like the m1 on the kross. Krome make it sound clean
Hey guys urgent please... Can someone explain to me how to use a
controller as second keyboard via midi with the Korg Kross.? Need to get
this do for a show i have this weekend. the sec Keys need to have a
independent tone from the kross. eg. the kross have piano and the sec
keys/controller have a brass.
hi
Winton Wilmot
hi who is this?
Hi thanks for the info
, will check and try that also will let you know if i'm successful in attempting this process. :)
Can Akdogan merhaba. Klavye çalmayı en son korg trinityde bırakmıştım. Teknolojiye baya bi uzak kaldım. Günlerdir CZcamsda inceleme izliyorum. Kross geri dönüş için iyi bi başlangıç mı yoksa yetersiz kalır diye direk krome mu almalıyım. Kross sd karttan audio okuması ne gibi artısı var, sequencer da attığımız audioları kullanma gibi bi lüksümüz var mı? Uzun yazdım biraz kusura bakma ;) Yardımların için şimdiden teşekkürler
Wow..Whats the price range for these keyboards? They cant be much. They both sound bad to me. Id give the slight adavtage to the kross. But these sound horrible compared to the pa900. I guess thats the difference with a synth vs arranger keyboard.
These products are not keyboards as such and are workstations which means they operate in an entirely different way. The PA900 is a keyboard with backing styles. A workstation does not have backing styles. It has arpeggiators which are cleverly designed to allow the users to do a number of things when playing live but not really made to work like a keyboard i.e. not made to be played with chords (but sometimes it works!). It works best for giving the user ideas when played like 'piano style' and then, on a workstation, you can then get right into the depths of editing and creating much more so than the usual keyboard allows. Sound wise a workstation will compete with the best of the best keyboards when compared sound for sound and quite often cost less.

Kross is not bad product. Its easy to use, lightweight, cheap and can play on batteries. Kross control style and design reminds me korg microstation. Krome costs 2 times more then Kross, new Kross is just $700. I do not think its bad product. Krome is good for people who can't afford Kronos but want something similar.
Kim Diez idiot! Do you even know how to play a keyboard? Lol! Stop bashing other products and people's choices! You know what? I own a Portasound yamaha psr530, a 90s model and it's considered an arranger and i learned lots from it including splits and layers and registration memories and banks and these things now become the features that i prioritze in choosing a keyboard (sound quality is obviously included) and you know what? You might call my first board a toy. But it's very durable and i have exploited every feature it had to offer. So let me tell you to shut the hell up, stop bashing, practice your keyboard, respect others and don't act smug. I also owned a juno d which was crappier than kross but i was able to use all it's features to my advantage. And when i get my kross? I'll show you how a professional player can make that toy sound like a pro!
The great thing about workstations is that you have to put in WORK to achieve the sound/groove you want. Yes these boards are inexpensive, but they hold a lot of meat & spuds. I bought the Kross platinum 88 with the sole intent to WORK Kross to the limit just like I did my Triton Extreme 76 for 11 yrs. Now I gots me a 27 pound 88 key WORK station which WORKS so well with my Extreme 76 WORK station. I'm a happy camper!!!!!!!!!
TRONICVISION That's why I'm gonna pick up a Kross 61 since I need a WORK station to get with me on the fly.
Krome seems to beat the Kross in most things as far as I can tell.
+Randy Clower That would be because the Kross is a stripped-down version of the Krome... The two really don't compare well at all...

You an get a much more pro keyboard for the price of a Kross (toy)......it is called "KROME" ;-)
Playing the worst of the 80s really puts me off on both. The sounds can still b tweaked for modern music but u have managed to turn me off to both. For the money u can't beat the cross for a songwriting scratchpad. Plus u can plug a guitar in it and use the sequencer. No other keyboard does that unless u want to get a Roland GI but that doesn't have 16 tracks....
The Kross sounds way better!!
montage
They both sound the same if tweaked right. Both are based on the same EDSi engine. Only difference is the touch screen and the price. If you could only play tunes we all know so we can appreciate it. Every demo guy does the same damn thing, come up with their "gibberish' tunes that no one knows... Boring...
Yo are wrong, Kross uses esd-i while Kronos uses esd-x
Korg Kross > Korg Krome
I wish
Korg khrome mucho mejor pero el kross es mejor sampler y más portable... me quedo con khrome
A white shale of pale
This really doesnt sounds great. haha... this is WAY to 80s sounding.
I need something thats going to help me make modern music
Jean-Luc Thomas The thing is, it's the kids who makes these "new music" but sadly most of them can't afford a gear like this so there's no chance for them to demo it for us..
Kross is more sound like synth..... Tones of Kross are more powerfuk
Kross piano is so worst lol)
Worst is an understatement- It’s simply awful 🙈
Bro tell me about it.try doing a full beat with those pianos.smh
