Professional Sound Quality
Spectacular Grand Piano
At the heart of the KROME 88 lies the ‘German D Grand’ — an exquisite piano sample set taken directly from the Korg KRONOS.
Each note features 88 full-length unlooped stereo samples with damper resonance, delivering unmatched realism and depth.
This single piano program alone uses more PCM memory than entire synthesiser libraries found in comparable keyboards — proof of Korg’s dedication to sonic excellence.
Expressive Electric Pianos
KROME features three distinct electric piano types, each with up to eight velocity layers for detailed expression.
With vintage amp, cabinet, and effect modelling, these sounds deliver the warmth, texture, and dynamic response that make classic electric pianos so inspiring.
Studio-Quality Drums
Borrowed from the flagship KRONOS, the Jazz Ambience Drum Kit combines direct and ambient recordings for total mix control.
Adjust the blend between close mics and room mics for your ideal studio-quality drum tone — perfect for both live performance and production.
Creative Sound Design
With 640 Programs and 288 Combinations, the KROME 88 covers every genre and playing style.
From soaring leads and lush pads to expressive acoustic instruments and modern synth textures, each sound has been expertly crafted by professional musicians to perform beautifully straight out of the box.
Use the onboard editing tools to tweak, combine, and store your own signature sounds for unlimited creative expression.
Drum Track & Dual Arpeggiators
Drum Track
Activate the Drum Track at the touch of a button and play along with over 600 preset grooves or your own user patterns.
Ideal for live performance, practice, or production, these patterns use the KROME’s top-tier drum samples to provide realistic, inspiring rhythm tracks.
Dual Polyphonic Arpeggiators
Run two arpeggiators simultaneously in Combination or Sequencer mode to create complex rhythmic layers, basslines, or evolving textures.
These arpeggiators can generate anything from intricate guitar strums to ambient synth motion.
Powerful Effects
The KROME’s effects section offers up to five Insert FX, two Master FX, and one Total FX, with 193 types to choose from.
These include compressors, limiters, reverbs, delays, amp models, and creative effects such as Grain Shifter and Talking Modulator — all powered by Korg’s REMS modelling technology.
Each track also features a dedicated three-band EQ for precise tonal control.
Advanced Workstation Features
- 16-track MIDI sequencer with Auto Song Setup
- Template Songs for fast genre-based production
