And only KORG boasts the finest sound-design team on the planet, so you can always sound your very best. Enhanced SGX-2 Grand Piano Sound EngineThe KRONOS piano engine has always offered huge collections of non-looped/natural decay stereo samples, recorded for every key, with additional unique tools to customize the piano to your needs. Inheriting all of this SGX-1 functionality, the new enhanced SGX-2 Grand Piano engine introduces the new Berlin Grand piano to the existing deep German Grand and lively Japanese Grand. The Berlin Grand offers resonant piano sound with a striking sense of depth. Other enhancements to the SGX-2 engine included Sympathetic String Resonance and newly-recorded Una Corda (soft pedal – literally “one-string”) samples. Massive Sound SelectionKRONOS comes equipped with thousands of sounds, created using various synthesis modes and calling upon over approximately 21 GB of preset waveform data covering a variety of genres. Each one has been carefully crafted by the KORG Sound Design team. The internal SSD offers a generous 62*GB capacity, providing enormous space for user sampling or downloading KRONOS Sound Libraries. These optional expansion KRONOS Sound Libraries add new professionally programmed sounds—without the need to add any new hardware.Artist Signature Programs provide the priceless sounds actually used by top-ranking musicians. Additional Song Programs are named for the classic rock and pop songs whose signature keyboard sounds these programs recreate. Use these universally well-known sounds to pay homage to the originals, or as the basis for personal sonic explorations.Product SpecificationsSystem: KRONOS System Version 3.0 Keyboard: RH3 (Real Weighted Hammer Action 3)Synthesis Types: 9SGX-2: Premium Piano (Acoustic Piano)EP-1: MDS Electric Piano (Electric Piano)HD-1: High Definition Synthesizer (PCM)AL-1: Analog Synthesizer (Analog Modeling)CX-3: Tonewheel Organ (Tonewheel Organ Modeling)STR-1: Plucked String (Physical Modeling)MOD-7: Waveshaping VPM Synthesizer (VPM Synthesis)MS-20EX: Component Modeling Technology (Analog Modeling)PolysixEX: Component Modeling Technology (CMT Analog Modeling)Maximum Polyphony: SGX-2: 100 voicesEP-1: 104 voicesHD-1: 140 voicesAL-1: 80 voicesCX-3: 200 voicesSTR-1: 40 voicesMOD-7: 52 voicesMS-20EX: 40 voicesPolysixEX: 180 voicesPreset PCM: 314 MB (ROM 1,505 Multisamples, 1,388 Drumsamples) Build-in Expansion PCM Libraries: EXs1 - ROM Expansion EXs2 - Concert Grand PianoEXs3 - Brass & Woodwinds EXs4 - Vintage Keyboards EXs5 - ROM Expansion 2EXs6 - SGX-1 German D Piano EXs7 - SGX-1 Japanese C Piano EXs8 - Rock Ambience Drums EXs9 - Jazz Ambience Drums EXs17 - SGX-2 Berlin D Piano EXs18 - KORG EXs CollectionsPCM RAM Capacity: Approx. 2GBWave Sequences: 598 User memory, 187 PreloadDisk Mode: Load, save, utility, audio CD burning, audio CD playback, data filer function (save/load MIDI System Exclusive data), CD-R/RW (UDF format read/write), ISO9660 Level 1.Controllers: Vector joystick, joystick, ribbon controller, switches 1 & 2Control Assign Switches: Assigns the Control Surface to Timber/Track, Audio, External, Realtime Knobs/KARMA,Mixer Knobs Switch: Assigns the Mixer Knobs to either Channel Strip or Individual Pan, Reset Control Switch, Solo Switch, Knobs 1-8, Switches 1-8(Upper Row), Switches 1-8 (Lower Row), Sliders 1-8, Master SliderKARMA Control: On/Off, Latch, Module ControlRUM TRACK: On/OffDisplay: TouchView graphical user interface, 8 inch color TFT, SVGA (800x600 dots), adjustable brightness Outputs Analog:(MAIN) L/MONO, R: 1/4” TRS Balanced: Output Impedance: 350 ?
