The Korg KRONOS 3 88 is a versatile synthesizer workstation, not just another keyboard. It features nine distinct sound engines and an 88-key layout, covering sounds from grand pianos to advanced synth textures. This latest version includes an upgraded touchscreen, faster boot times, and a refined design.
The KRONOS 3 88 provides professional keyboardists, producers, and performers with powerful sound options for various musical demands. Whether in the studio or on stage, this workstation supports creative vision with precision and adaptability.
Nine Sound Engines, Infinite Possibilities
The heart of the KRONOS 3 88 beats with nine distinct sound engines, each one a specialist in its field. Here's where this workstation truly flexes its sonic muscles:
SGX-2 Piano Engine with Premium Sounds: The enhanced SGX-2 engine now includes stunning Italian Grand and Berlin Grand sounds that capture every nuance of acoustic piano performance. Press a key, and you'll swear there's a nine-foot concert grand hiding inside that sleek chassis.
EP-1 Electric Piano Engine: Craving that vintage Rhodes or Wurlitzer vibe? The EP-1 engine delivers authentic electric piano tones that'll transport you straight back to the golden age of soul and jazz fusion.
MOD-7 FM Synthesis: For those moments when you need cutting-edge digital textures and complex FM timbres, MOD-7 serves up everything from crystalline bells to aggressive bass patches that punch through any mix.
Multiple Additional Engines: The KRONOS doesn't stop there — additional engines cover everything from analog modeling to sample playback, ensuring you've got the right tool for every sonic job.
Performance Features That Keep You in the Flow
Nothing kills creativity faster than fighting with your gear. The KRONOS 3 88 understands this, which is why it's packed with features designed to keep you focused on making music, not navigating menus:
Intuitive 8-Inch TouchView Display: The large color touchscreen responds to your touch with improved sensitivity, making parameter adjustments as natural as adjusting the volume on your phone. Touch-drag capability and intelligent parameter search mean you'll spend less time hunting and more time creating.
Set List Mode for Live Performers: Color-coded presets, real-time performance notes, and built-in EQ make live shows a breeze. Organize your sounds by song, set, or venue, and switch between them with confidence knowing everything's exactly where you left it.
Seamless Sound Transitions (SST): Gone are the awkward audio dropouts when switching patches mid-performance. SST technology ensures smooth transitions between sounds, so your ballad-to-banger transitions stay silky smooth.
Advanced Control Surface: Real-time sliders, responsive knobs, and a precision joystick give you hands-on control over every parameter. Tweak filter sweeps, adjust effects depth, or add vibrato — all without diving into submenus.
Built for Creation and Capture
The KRONOS 3 88 isn't just an instrument — it's a complete production environment that captures your ideas at the moment of inspiration:
16-Track MIDI and Audio Recorder: Record up to 16 tracks of MIDI or high-quality 48 kHz audio directly within the workstation. Integrated editing tools let you polish your recordings without bouncing between multiple devices.
Refined Aesthetic Design: The updated chassis combines professional aesthetics with practical functionality. The improved layout puts controls exactly where your hands expect them, while the sophisticated appearance looks equally at home in a concert venue or professional studio.
Lightning-Fast Boot Time: Nobody likes watching loading screens when inspiration strikes. The KRONOS 3 88 fires up faster than its predecessors, getting you from power-on to performance-ready in seconds, not minutes.
Your Command Center for Musical Excellence
The Korg KRONOS 3 88 represents the pinnacle of modern music workstation design — a sophisticated instrument that never gets in the way of your creativity. With its expanded sound palette, intuitive workflow, and professional-grade recording capabilities, the KRONOS 3 88 delivers the complete package. It's the ultimate instrument for those who won't settle for anything less than perfection.
