Korg Krome 88 Platinum Limited Edition 88-Key Music Workstation Keyboard
Brand
KORG
Professional pianists, studio session players, and commercial music producers require a full-scale, weighted workstation that delivers authentic acoustic piano action alongside elite, unlooped instruments and comprehensive MIDI sequencing capabilities. Standard weighted synthesizers often compromise on memory, featuring short-looped, compressed samples that fail to capture the true resonance of an acoustic grand piano. The Korg Krome 88 Platinum Limited Edition Music Workstation masterfully addresses this premium demand. Combining Korg’s specialized Natural Weighted Hammer Action (NH) keybed, a 3.8 GB flagship-derived PCM sound core, a stunning limited-edition platinum faceplate, and an integrated 16-track production sequencer, this performance workstation yields uncompromising studio expression within a sleek, stage-ready chassis.
The KORG KROME (88-Key) Platinum Edition is a prestigious, limited-run workstation designed for players who require the uncompromising performance of the KROME series paired with an exquisite, high-end platinum aesthetic. Beyond its stunning finish, this model features Korg’s premium 88-key NH (Natural Weighted Hammer Action) keybed, providing the authentic touch and dynamic response of an acoustic grand piano. Combined with the acclaimed EDS-X sound engine and a large-format 7-inch TouchView display, the KROME Platinum 88 is the ultimate tool for studio composers and professional stage performers who demand both a world-class piano feel and the power of a modern synthesizer workstation.
High-Definition Sound Engine
At the core of the KROME Platinum 88 is the EDS-X sound engine, which leverages massive, unlooped sample sets. This includes deeply multisampled piano sounds that capture the natural resonance and decay of a concert grand, alongside crystal-clear electric pianos, drums, and orchestral instruments. By focusing on the sounds most vital to modern professional music, the KROME ensures your performances have the depth and clarity required for high-end studio and stage applications.
Intuitive Workflow and Composition
The 7-inch color TouchView display serves as the nerve center for the KROME Platinum, offering rapid, touch-based navigation for complex sound layering, splitting, and effects management. Coupled with a 16-track MIDI sequencer and an intuitive "Combination" mode, the KROME Platinum 88 allows you to build sophisticated arrangements in real-time, effectively serving as an all-in-one production hub for songwriters and producers.
Authentic Performance and Feel
The 88-key Natural Weighted Hammer Action (NH) keybed sets this model apart, delivering a graded touch response—heavier in the lower register and lighter in the upper—perfectly mirroring the feel of an acoustic piano. This makes the KROME Platinum 88 an ideal choice for pianists who demand dynamic expression. Finished in a sophisticated platinum aesthetic, this workstation provides a professional-grade synthesis environment wrapped in a design that is truly worthy of the spotlight.
