KORG
Experience uncompromised piano performance and flagship workstation power combined in the Korg KROME-88. Designed for professional stage keyboardists, studio pianists, and demanding music producers, this top-tier model replaces standard semi-weighted keys with Korg's premium Natural Weighted Hammer Action keybed. It perfectly replicates the physical resistance, grading, and dynamic response of an acoustic grand piano, making it the ultimate tool for expressive classical, jazz, and modern pop performances.
The Korg KROME 88 is a professional music workstation featuring a fully weighted 88-key keyboard, designed for pianists, performers, and studio musicians who require authentic piano feel combined with advanced synthesis, sequencing, and sound design capabilities. Powered by Korg’s EDS-X (Enhanced Definition Synthesis-eXpanded) engine, it delivers high-resolution acoustic instruments, expressive electric pianos, and a wide range of production-ready sounds.
Built for both stage and studio use, the KROME 88 combines realistic piano touch, deep sound editing, a touchscreen interface, and a full 16-track sequencer in a single integrated instrument.
