Korg KROSS 2 61-Key Synthesizer Keyboard - Red Matte

The KORG KROSS 2-61 RM (Red Marble) is a striking, limited-edition iteration of Korg’s ultra-portable synthesizer workstation. Blending high-performance synthesis with a unique, eye-catching "Red Marble" finish, this model retains all the powerful features of the standard KROSS 2—including the high-quality EDS-i sound engine, built-in sampling, and battery-powered mobility. It is the perfect choice for gigging musicians who demand a lightweight, reliable workstation that stands out visually on any stage.

Sonic Power and Portability

Don't let the compact, lightweight design fool you; the KROSS 2-61 RM is a fully capable workstation. Powered by the EDS-i (Enhanced Definition Synthesis-integrated) sound engine, it offers over 1,000 professional presets ranging from realistic pianos and orchestral instruments to cutting-edge synths. With its ability to run on just six AA batteries, you can take your entire production setup from the studio to the street, the rehearsal room, or the stage without ever needing a power outlet.

Integrated Sampling and Sequencing

The KROSS 2-61 RM features 16 dedicated sample trigger pads, allowing you to fire off backing tracks, sound effects, or custom audio clips in real-time. Whether you are performing a solo set or adding depth to a band arrangement, the built-in 16-track MIDI sequencer and intuitive step sequencer give you the tools to build, record, and edit entire songs on the fly. It is a complete, in-the-box solution for modern music creation.

Professional Integration and Versatility

Engineered to be the centerpiece of a modern rig, the KROSS 2-61 RM functions as both a standalone instrument and a powerful audio/MIDI interface for your DAW. Its easy-to-use interface, featuring dedicated buttons for quick layering and splitting of sounds, makes it incredibly fast to navigate. With a professional-grade mic input, you can capture vocals or acoustic instruments directly into the workstation, making it an essential tool for songwriters and performers alike.
