Detailed Introduction

More than 1,000 rich and diverse preset sounds
KROSS 2 expands the polyphony from 80 to 120 voices and significantly increases the number of internal programs from 809 to 1,075. Included are layered pianos and electric pianos, thick strings, and other new sounds perfect for any band, along with the latest drum kits covering current genres like EDM. This extensive program selection meets your needs from live performance to studio production.

Built-in extended PCM memory and supports optional library
KROSS 2 now offers 128 MB of built-in expansion PCM memory. By selecting from optional libraries released after KROSS 2, you can expand the internal sounds of KROSS 2 to suit the needs of your performance style or situation.

EDS-i sound engine with rich expressiveness and complete effects
The high-quality EDS-i Enhanced Definition Synthesis integrates a sound engine inherited from KORG's professional synthesizers. A total of seven effects units are available simultaneously: five insert units and two master units. Choose from 134 high-quality effects, including standard effects like delay and reverb, as well as amp models, vintage effect units, and even a vocoder, providing rich expressiveness.

Excellent sampling capabilities and pad sampler
KROSS 2 features a unique new sampling function, offering 16 playable pads. You can record input from the LINE IN jack and assign stereo samples up to 14 seconds long to each pad. Up to four pads can be triggered simultaneously. Sample waveforms can be edited using features such as loop start/end point settings and normalization, and even resampled within KROSS 2, allowing you to perform large-scale sampling without any additional equipment. Long audio files from SD cards can also be assigned to the pads.

Direct access to the sounds and features you need
1. Instant Control
The new Live Control section gives you direct control over the main parameters of KROSS 2 without having to navigate through menu hierarchies. In addition to real-time control of sounds and effects and simple program editing, you can also use the knobs to easily control vocoder settings or adjust the tempo of the arpeggiator and sequencer.
2. Favorites function
The Favorites function allows you to register frequently used programs and combinations and call them up with a single click. It has even been expanded to allow 128 favorite locations, double the number of the first generation KROSS. This feature is perfect for live performers who need quick access to a specialized set of sounds on stage.
3. Fast stratification/segmentation
The layer/split function is now easier to set up thanks to a dedicated quick layer/split button, which allows you to layer two sounds or assign separate sounds to the left and right areas of the keyboard.
4. Category dialing
A category dial is provided so you can instantly find the sound you are looking for among the vast selection. Simply select a general sound type, such as piano or organ, and make your selection quickly and efficiently.
