Ultra-lightweight and compact body, with support for battery operation
The amazing mobility of the KROSS series is better than ever. The 61-key model features a new and stylish design, and its weight has
been further reduced from the 4.3 kg of the previous model to an even more lightweight 3.8 kg. Additional improvements in power
efficiency allow up to seven hours of battery-powered operation from six AA batteries. The 88-key model newly provides an
accessory compartment that can hold spare batteries or cables, as well as an easily accessible front-located battery panel. On both
models, the rear panel KORG logo is fully illuminated, letting you stand out on stage.
The ultimate body finish that exceeds its class
The evolved KROSS 2 also features high quality in its body finish. First, the 88-key model uses a stylish and cool “dark blue” color. The
61-key model uses a “super matte black” color with a high-quality rubberized finish that is durable and feels great to the touch.
Lavish use of this sophisticated rubberized finish gives the instrument a highly professional appearance. The 61-key model is
additionally available in a limited-edition “red marbled” color. The special marbled red finish is unique and different on each KROSS 2
unit.
Audio player/recorder that you can easily trigger from the pads
The built-in stereo audio recorder lets you record your KROSS 2 performance, or overdub an external input source such as vocals.
There's also a pad audio play function that allows recorded sounds or audio files imported from an external source to be assigned to
each of the 16 pads for playback. Unlike the sampling function, this allows extended recording and playback that is limited only by
the capacity of the SD card; you can strike a pad to play back the backing of an entire song while you perform on the keyboard, or
use the pads to trigger sound effects or background music.
Supports your song production, turning inspiration into reality
16-track MIDI sequencer

pad sampler performance, providing an easy way for you to create sketches of ideas for songs.
Step sequencer
This lets you use the 16 pads to intuitively and quickly create original rhythm patterns of up to 64 steps.
Drum track
The drum track lets you add rhythm to your performance simply by pressing a button. Choose from 772 preset drum patterns that
cover a variety of styles.
Arpeggiator
This function is a great way to generate ideas for songs; simply hold down keys to generate rhythmic chords, bass phrases, or guitar
strumming.
