Korg KROSS 2 61-Key Synthesizer Keyboard - Red Matte
Brand
KORG
Mobile electronic music producers, street buskers, and touring live session musicians require an all-in-one synthesizer workstation that balances studio-grade multi-track recording capabilities with extreme physical portability. Most standard arrangement workstations are too cumbersome for fast transport, or they cut corners by stripping away true audio sampling pads and performance controls. The Korg KROSS 2 61-Key Synthesizer Workstation - Red Matte Limited Edition commands this space with bold aesthetic design and powerhouse functionality. Weighing an astonishingly light 3.8 kg, this sleek, battery-powered synth platform packs over 1,000 professional presets, full hardware sequencing tools, and responsive sampling pads into a stunning, tour-ready matte red structural frame.
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.
