Spectacular Grand Piano: A Breakthrough in Realism

Piano sound is central to almost every keyboardist, and the KROME 73 takes this to new heights. At its core is the acclaimed German D Grand sampled for KRONOS, featuring 88 full-length unlooped stereo samples and detailed damper resonance. The amount of PCM dedicated to this piano alone far exceeds that of entire workstations, resulting in an authentic, resonant and expressive acoustic piano experience that sets a new benchmark in this category.

Electric Pianos with Expressive Warmth

KROME includes three distinctive electric piano types, each offering natural expression across eight velocity layers. These sounds contain more PCM data individually than most workstation libraries include in total. Classic amps, cabinets and effects are meticulously modelled to reproduce the warmth, bite and vintage character players expect.

Studio-Quality Drum Kits

Borrowed directly from KRONOS, the Jazz Ambience Drums offer a rich, highly detailed sound. Adjust direct vs ambient mic levels to create custom drum mixes that sit perfectly in any production. The result is an astonishing sense of space, clarity and realism rarely found in keyboards of this class.

A Colourful Palette of Ready-to-Use Sounds

With 640 Programs and 288 Combinations crafted by top musicians and producers, the KROME 73 covers everything from modern pop and rock to cinematic textures and atmospheric pads. Whether you need pristine layers, bold leads or expressive backing parts, these sounds offer professional-grade quality straight out of the box.

You can also customise, tweak and save your own sounds for instant recall.

Drum Track: Instant Inspiration

Activate Drum Track with a single button to play along with professionally performed grooves using KROME’s premium drum kits. Over 600 preset patterns inherited from KRONOS provide huge creative flexibility, and you can save your own user patterns for sequencing and live use.

Dual Polyphonic Arpeggiators

In Combination and Sequencer modes, two arpeggiators can run simultaneously. Beyond traditional patterns, they can generate riffs, drum sequences or evolving sound-design textures. Editing arpeggio patterns allows for entirely personalised rhythmic ideas.

Powerful Effects Engine

KROME’s extensive effects selection includes:

• 5 insert effects
• 2 master effects
• 1 total effect
• 193 effect types including dynamics, delays, reverbs, modulation, grain-based effects and Korg’s REMS amp modelling
