KORG KROME EX - Overview

An evolved go-to synthesizer with a focus on "FUTURE BASICS"

KROME, the best-selling synth focused on packing the most usable sounds into an easy to use platform, has received a major refresh. Updated to meet the needs of the current music scene, KROME EX has a special emphasis on sounds that can immediately fit into productions of all types.

In addition to standard sounds that will never grow old, KROME EX provides numerous new programs and PCM data, including piano programs prepared specifically for this product. This instrument provides high-quality and immediately-usable sounds that take full advantage of the KROME's high performance specs. The new body also features a newly revamped build and look to accompany the new sounds.

A music workstation for gigging musicians and producers of all stripes.

Please help me..🙏🙏🙏

Thank you, Korg. The Krome line of products is great. I've been playing a first generation Krome 73 since 2015 and I owned a Triton Pro before that. I chose Krome over other brands because, for the most part, it gives me access to the features I enjoyed most in the Triton. I use Krome in studio and on stage and over the years it has been reliable and fun to play. I love the sounds. Regrettably, I will not upgrade to the EX because there are a number of fundamental features critical to music production and performance, features I had hoped would be included in the new model, that are absent. I have a list of features/improvements that I know will be very welcome on the Krome line from a long-time user perspective. I would prefer not to air them here. Is there anyone who would be willing to take a suggestion (and act on it) from someone who is still invested in your products and who desperately wants to see Korg get a win in the segment Krome competes in?

I’m a korg person and always been....but I have to give the trophy to Yamaha modx this time!

Luke that bit at 7:56 sounds fantastic 🤯

Was gonna get a Krome this month, but now I see the EX. I was excited! I watched numerous videos already and read a lot of you people's comments. Your knowledge and experience has convinced me to take another look at Yamaha. Thank you all for the feedback. And as a fan of Korg I have to agree; little upgrade in the wrong places. Dang, it's back to watching other videos!

0:26 Dude, I can expect that new piano sound from a 1997 keyboard.

[jansenwilder]

Sad. I had the krome many years back. Sold it to get Kronos 2 73. This krome Ex should have added sampling pads and sample features like the Kross 2.
Lost out to the Modx in terms of mid range synth upgrade.
Come on Korg. We are nearing year 2020. This Ex smells like a Triton Le without sampling.

[lawgege]

thank you for your comments you are the only one to use the EX without using the known sounds that are the piano sounds

8:46 Theme from CW's The Flash on a combi called Flashpoint. Coincidence? :P

[stuartwilliams]

Looks good, I have Krome 88 already but think I will stick with it, if I get bored I can still go to my triton extreme or Oasys.

[Learnerme]

Seriously korg u need to up the game. I still have a Korg TR which is like 15 yrs old now and its got almost everything you claim to have in the EX. Same 16 track sequencer, 2 ARPS and almost the same workflow. Oh I forgot, I can actually sample on the TR and has aftertouch too.

[mikequesada]

Very nice! I would love one.. I have a Triton le, but this krome ex is over the top!

[mdonestudio]

Its 2020...so i hope keyboard manufactures..they will start to make all new keyboards that when any sounds is change..there will be no cut off sounds in between them and a smooth sounds transition from one to another for live performances....jus like kronos and montage

[spincoke]

What is the name of the program or combination of the brass sound at 3:09 into the clip here?

[thangxixon]

You know it a bad keyboard when even Luke himself showed little enthusiast. Watch him demonstrate the Kronos and the old Krome. you'll see

[bruin]

I'm VERY surprised that Korg did NOT add a Set List feature like in the Kronos...

[museonfilm]

Some comments on here, about how many of these sounds are dated.

Yes, some PRESETS are dated, but if you take the time to actually customize and create your OWN SOUNDS, it will sound amazing - just like any other modern high-spec synth should.

The other option: go buy a home keyboard.
