Korg announces Krome EX...and...

Author : Cyph

After 4 years supporting the Korg Krome, we, at Kromeheaven, were expecting something new on the our synth...

and ta da ta daaaa....Here is an answer from korg, a new keyboard : The Krome EX !

 

Future basics


Well, as usual the "new" keyboard comes into 3 versions, 61, 76 and 88 keys, but what's new in this Krome EX ?

According to the first information read on the internet, you will find :

-A new Piano sound

-A new Upright piano sound

-New Electric piano

-Vintage sounds

-EDM Electronic Dance Music sounds (vocal samples)

PCM memory seems to be EXpanded (but we will discuss this below) but hardware does not seem to change in comparison with the old Krome.

To sum-up : 896 Programs and 512 Preload Combinations

The rest is well known : LCD touchscreen, arpeggiators, sequencer, etc...

Oh and yes : A beautifull aluminium case :)

A krome 2?

No...no...and no ! Banditos !!!!


This krome EX has nothing to do with a new synth...In fact, even if the 2 new piano sounds are very cool, the fact is that the Krome EX is just a "big" software and pcm upgrade.

We expected a free krome software update but we had a "new" Krome EX with apparently the same hardware (To be confirmed) !

When we speak about a pcm expansion I doubt that it's a real "memory" upgrade..I would say instead an internal pcm content replacement ;)

No information about optional PCM data for the moment, but we will add and share information as soon as we get them.

Nb : Krome EX will be able to load Krome file ;)

 

The good news : At kromeheaven, we will try to support this Krome EX : sharing patches, tips, samples (if confirmed), and more !!! So Stay connected...

"Hello Cyph,
We are pleased to inform you that my first package combinations this finished. As I promised, I organized my combinations and I'm sending you to be distributed freely. 
The name of this small collection is Prog Sounds, because I had these ideas really listening Jordan Rudess and Rick Wakeman. 
I'll work on more sounds and soon you'll send more!"

Thank you Luiz,

your sounds are really well programmed, you can be proud of what you have done!!!

As you really deserve it, I've made a 3D box for your pack and made a cool presentation to share your sound with all the krome users !

We expect that you will continue like that because you really made a good job...Maybe interested in our next contest ??? :)

Enjoy !
