Korg KRONOS 2 73-Key Music Workstation Keyboard
Brand
KORG
Professional touring keyboardists, session musicians, and studio sound designers require an uncompromised, top-tier synthesizer workstation that delivers immense multi-gigabyte sample realism and deep synthesis modeling inside a highly portable chassis. Full-sized 88-key keyboards are often too bulky and heavy for frequent transport, while standard 61-key configurations lack the weighted action and pitch range required for serious acoustic and electric piano performance. The Korg KRONOS 73-Key Flagship Synthesizer Workstation masterfully satisfies these performance requirements. By packing Korg's entire unmatched nine-engine flagship sound architecture and premium Japanese RH3 weighted hammer-action keybed into a compact, space-saving 73-note layout, this workstation provides a masterfully balanced gigging platform with zero compromises in processing power.
The KORG KRONOS 2 (73-Key) is a tour de force of workstation design, packing the full capability of Korg's flagship nine-engine architecture into a highly practical and ergonomic 73-note form factor. Perfect for keyboardists who need the power of a professional studio in a footprint that is easier to transport than an 88-key model, the KRONOS 2 73-key features the premium RH-3 (Real Weighted Hammer Action 3) keybed, ensuring that you do not sacrifice an ounce of playing feel or expressivity. It is the definitive workstation for the working professional who demands unlimited sonic power in a more mobile package.
Flagship Performance in a Portable Frame
At the center of the KRONOS 2 73 is the same nine-engine sound architecture that powers the flagship 88-key model. From the pristine, unlooped SGX-2 Premium Piano engine to the versatile MOD-7 Waveshaping VPM and the authentic analog modeling of the MS-20EX, every engine is available at your fingertips. The 73-key RH-3 weighted hammer action keybed provides a natural, grand-piano-like response, making it exceptionally satisfying for both complex piano passages and rapid, intricate synthesizer lines.
Professional Workflow and Intuitive Control
Navigating the immense depth of the KRONOS 2 is made intuitive by the large, 8-inch color TouchView display with "Touch-Drag" functionality. This allows you to effortlessly manage complex layers, split points, effects, and sequencing parameters. With 16-track MIDI sequencing, 16-track audio recording, and Korg’s proprietary KARMA technology for generative musical phrases, you have a complete production studio at your disposal, designed to turn inspiration into finished tracks in record time.
Durability and Connectivity
Engineered to handle the demands of professional stage and studio life, the KRONOS 2 73 offers a sophisticated, robust chassis with high-fidelity signal processing. It provides comprehensive, pro-level I/O, including balanced audio outputs, S/PDIF digital connectivity, and dedicated real-time control knobs, sliders, and switches.
