No longer available at zZounds
Cross a weighted 88-key stage piano with a workstation's sound set and recording capabilities, and you've got the performance-ready Korg Kross 88 keyboard.

The Korg Kross 88 Mobile Workstation Keyboard is the performance synth, reimagined. At just under 30 lbs, the Kross offers portability, super-easy sound selection, and a huge helping of no-compromise sounds you've come to expect from Korg with tons of performance features. A clean, attractive layout makes Kross a perfect synth for everyone -- from keyboardists, to guitarists, to producers looking for that no-hassle creation tool -- all at an extremely attractive price point.

The Korg Kross Music Workstation is designed with flexibility, portability, great sound, and value in mind. This powerhouse workstation is highly portable, and can be powered either by the included AC adapter or 6 AA batteries. The high-quality EDS-i sound engine is distilled from the EDS/EDS-X sound engines found on Korg's most advanced instruments.

For fast beat production, Kross features an analog-style step sequencer similar to our popular Electribe series and other famous drum machines. This is part of Kross's full-fledged 16-track sequencer, with powerful onboard editing and effects. There's even a built-in stereo audio recorder with mic and line inputs. Despite being packed with functionality, this 88-key keyboard is lightweight -- making traveling from gig to gig just that much easier. It's a distinctive standard in music workstations, with specs and style that set it apart from all others.
