Korg Krome-73 Keyboard Workstation, 73-Key

Bring one board to the gig. The 73-key Krome faithfully captures a "German D Grand" piano, classic EPs, and much more -- with a 16-track sequencer to boot.

"Fantastic board for the buck!"

First off I have to commend ZZounds for the SUPER fast delivery on this. I ordered it this past Sunday (2/16/14) and received it today (Tuesday 2/18/14). The free shipping was nice!Right out of the box I can already find my way around this board with ease (I've owned a Triton Pro for the last 14 years). The ease of programming and finding sounds is very similar to the Triton pro but much more up to date and intuitive. The sounds are fantastic, especially when layered with my Triton Pro. The key bed itself is a bit cheesy feeling for piano but it feels great when playing organ, brass or guitar patches. The extra nuances of the flutes and brass patches are killer!I just downloaded and installed the USB driver and the KROME editor for my PC and that's definitely going to make life way easier. I've always loved Korg keyboards and would suggest them to any professional or beginner. I can already feel inspiration from this keyboard.

"Working in Real Time"

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars

I am impressed with the selection of sounds and the ability to tweak programs on the fly. However, twice during a session, I could feel a note dropping out of a chord. I do not know what happened as my keyboard was brand new. Still, being able to make adjustments on the fly as well as supply rhythm accompaniments is a plus. I really like this board, but, other than the excellent acoustic piano programs, I would not make it my number one keyboard for recording.

"Great keyboard"

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I would recommend this keyboard over and over agian,however, the only complaint that I have is the description says semi-weighted keys and I now am returning it for the 88 key Krome for the full weighted keys. The semi-weighted keys almost represent that of a keyboard you would get from walmart. The sounds and ease of use are great just not a fan of the light keys.

"A Dream Come True "

I been wanting this keyboard for a lon time now and I am so happy I have it in my studio, here's the awesome stuff.: it's a standalone workstation if you just wanna make your music on the keyboard the daw that's in the keyboard is ready for your work I will say the track view could run smoother by adding a select all when editing inside the midi grid. Also making the grid change1/4 note to say 1/16T when you select a timing it stays on 1/4 note. But that's my only things the thing that truly makes me love my krome is once you plug it in usb it's a unstoppable plug in for your daw of choice the endless editing and sounds right at your finger tips an amazing piece of art I must say everyday I learn something new that keyboard can do!

Couldn't be more pleased with this keyboard. Great sounds and ease of use. The size is also a plus. Smaller than your average keyboard which makes it so much easier to carry around without sacrificing sound quality. Simply worth every penny.

"Bad Power Button and Bootup time"

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I ordered the Korg Krome, 73 key, from another company. The sounds are pretty good but the Power button is hard to operate and it takes a while to boot up. I was also shocked that I had to have it repaired in 2017 after only buying it in 2013. The Korg Triton Extreme lasts for years. zZounds is excellent. I will order again.

"It Sucks and Korg should be ashamed of themselves for not recalling it!!"

Overall: 0.5 out of 5 stars

If you use the sustain pedal, the notes start truncating. And after a while the keyboard dies. It cost me $380.00 to fix, after waiting 10 weeks. Got it home, and the same problem started up. This keyboard is a Lemon. Stay away from it. I wish I did!!!!
