Korg Krome Workstation Synthesizer Demonstration

[@747jpdrummer]

Mr. Edwards- you are one of the best demonstrators I've seen or heard.

[@davebellamy4867]

Yes, he's excellent at this; no messing around.

[@lodrezzon]

Of the 10,000 demo videos I've ever watched, this guy really is the best.

[@geoffreyhoney5983]

Great asset to Korg! Brill player and easy on the ear. Best demonstrator on KZbin!!

[@jeremychamplin1078]

He plays drums on that keyboard like a boss!

[@Cigarsnguitars]

The keyboard has many fantastic features and sounds great. The gentleman who is demonstrating the keyboard is very knowledgeable but moreover he is one hell of a player! If he isn't playing out in the UK he needs to be.

[@responsibleparty]

Yeah, I love to listen to this guy play. He's a great spokesman for Korg.

Thanks for this demo! It's actually the single best demo video of live action playing that I've ever seen. The Scritti Politti thing left me completely floored. I'm a sound designer in my 40s and I've worked with synths since the CZ101 came out so I guess I could say that I really mean what I say. Absolutely masterful keyboard playing and an excellent rundown on this new Korg.

[@arthurjackson3337]

More motivated by your playing than the demonstration itself!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Wow man!!!

[@icsnowman]

Luke Edwards makes this look easy. Great demo and playing!

[@stephencharles2120]

Amazing demonstration ever he has great knowledge about the music, every music store shoud have someone like this , he’s amazing, people will love to learn & love to buy that Arranger workstation

[@davebellamy4867]

10:38 That's making really good use of 5 octaves! An advert for the 73 key version has been showing up on my browser lately and it is very tempting to go with my analogue stuff.

[@peterord]

Great to see a piece of gear demonstrated by a talented musician, and not some tech-head who'll just press the "demo" button or rely on library presets. Thanks for uploading this.

[@MiddleEarth0069]

My PC software has made all of my previous Korg keyboards obsolete-which is why I sold them all,but Korg has finally made a workstation that integrates well with DAW's and they did it on a budget and NO ONE ELSE has done this. Yamaha tried this with their MOX series and they failed miserably,so I have to give Korg credit for them actually making me reconsider buying another hardware workstation and for me personally,I'd LOVE to have a 73-key midi controller!

[@alobpreis]

5:25 Lovely description of an... SD card slot.

[@mostunique5941]

I know this video is old but guys, I’ve grown up using this keyboard and I cannot express how good this keyboard is. It’s probably a lot cheaper these days too. This got me into composing music and even as a 12 year old I made some basic pieces (as you can see from some of my first videos on my channel). Awesome keyboard, if your watching this wondering if you should give the keyboard a go then definitely consider it. I would recommend trying to get one with enough keys as when I switch from my piano to the keyboard I tend to run out of keys to play.

[@martinproe]

Amazing!, just ordered one on the strength of this demo to go with my Kronos88. This guy now does training on the Kronos too.

[@stjamestheproducer]

Can we take a moment to acknowledge that the man teaching is a fucking beast on the keys?!

[@peaps]

That was some nice finger drumming. I know it's wrong, but I think I'm gonna have to buy one thanks to Luke Edwards.

[@davebellamy4867]

I wanted this to be longer! Great demo. I was just getting really into it.

[@molarjock]

Wow! What a fabulous demonstration! It could not have been better.

[@Drummergirl531]

My husband is def getting this for Christmas!

[@PaulPaid]

How'd it go?

[@etpslick100]

I was looking into the Yamaha S90XS, but after listening to the demo of the Krome, I was hooked. The pianos are outstanding, the string sounds sounded kinda' thin tho, but for the price of the S90XS, you just can't beat the Korg. I'm planning on getting the 88 key version and midied it to my Fantom XR since my Roland has the best orchestral sounds. The price alone is worth the look at the Krome. I think Korg will sell a lot of them. I'm sold!!

[@emilianopetronilli]

that is some OUTSTANDING demoing, dude

[@DjNemes1s]

Luke demo'd this at Dawson's in Reading, and have to say, it looked and sounded awesome!

[@narfsounds]

Excellent demo! Really liked Kashmir and the Indiana Jones theme.

[@VladtheEmailer]

Excellent video! Great musicianship, charming accent, cute, informative! I'm sold! I'm buying one!

[@ThereOnceWasAUnicorn]

Looks like an amazing synth, I wish I could hear more of the synth sounds because those are my favorite lol

[@GeorgekwessiDavis]

am just seeing this demonstration and it is excellent....you are gifted....i enjoyed the indiana jones score sooooo much...🙂

[@AllenTSmith]

Your finger drumming is awesome!

[@Steven_Random_Suffix]

This demo convinced me that I am not worthy. But on the other hand, that sequence editor might save the day for me

[@raptorekpl]

Whoa... This is some epic keyboard skills! Holy crap, that was a really good selection of tunes to show off this gear. Best demo I've seen in months! ("Going to the mixers, change the levels..." with Indiana Jones theme in the background sounded like some real adventure :-D)

[@frankgemi]

io l'ho comprata da circa 20 giorni è una bellissima work station ! ci sono anche bei suoni di organo !

[@mustapha3ddesign277]

omg i just start learning piano and i was looking for a real keyboard and guess what that video give a clear vision on what i should get. thank you so much i will buy this keyboard asap

[@JimRichmond1]

Excellent video and good playing. Love this keyboard, plan to get one down the road. Just switched to doing everything on the computer, but this board I have to have. For the price, its the best workstation out there.

[@rolandgerard6064]

Great demo again from Luke, great instrument too.

[@Goldlion973]

Brilliant demonstration dude, excellent choice of music.

[@WatsBoogie]

Wow man 🔥🔥🔥

[@andrewhinds6560]

I think it's amazing. I have yet to master the programming, but at the moment I'm really digging the electric piano sounds and various effects that go with it. I'm probably underusing it but I'm more interested in just getting the best piano sounds as I'm still learning at the moment.

[@hollowmenrule]

You really impressed me and sold me on this keyboard when he started playing perfect way by Scritti Politti one of my favorite bands really cool

[@Alexandrersareias]

Congratulations on a great demo. Very clear and objective. The pinnacle of presentation it was the Indiana Jones movie song.

[@CowboyNQ]

Organs on this 'board are good and very very versatile from an editing perspective, including the rotary speaker effects.

[@jundytouch]

I just got my M50-61 a month ago. For now, the difference between this and the M50 is the colored Touch Display. I checked the price, it is almost the same with the M50.

[@jlucero5719]

i love that the first thing he plays is "nobody does it better".. nice!

[@Danbo342]

Hi Robert, The answer to your question is no, you don't need the computer at all. Some people use programs for their combinations, song creation, EQ, etc. Keyboards are just easier to hook up to computers these days is all, and that was just being pointed out. Only reason I ever hooked up a keyboard to my comp was to sequence songs, but this and most keyboards have great built in sequencers so no need for me (or anyone really). It does make certain things easier and some great apps out there.

[@capacitorvoice]

Really good demo. I mainly do electronic, but you definitely show the possibilities of this synth. I am now definitely interested for the features and price point. I would definitely use this for composing and live performance.

[@kimrunic5874]

Well done mate - a demonstrator who can play - unusual

[@taztykake9366]

last korg I had was the triton this looks way better man... ima definitely keep my eye out for korg products from now on.. might pick this up or the kronos who knows.. keep it up I see u guys have improved technology wise since the triton or maybe it was just my model, I had the triton le

[@Delroy61]

I'm a children's worship leader, using a GEM wk1 keyboard (year: 2001), I need a new keyboard that has great synths, able to layer multiple sounds, great automatic drum kit to play along with, and a port for a sustain pedal. I'm not to focused on MIDI or software synth sounds on the PC. I just want it all there on the "workstation". Didn't even know that was the correct term.

[@Delroy61]

Isn't this a 4 year old keyboard though? This video itself is 4 years old.....so what makes this keyboard so inpressive?

[@javiceres]

+Delroy61 The fact that it's 4 years old B)

[@Petsublak]

Brilliant demo ! I have watched a lot, believe it.

[@glennanthony5064]

Top playing you certainly have me going to check this board out tomorrow. All the best.

[@cbarry88]

could watch this all day.... great video

[@gothvox]

Thanks so much! Now I am impressed! I was going to upgrade to the Roland Juno G I, but now this will be the upgrade. Thanks again!

[@leandrowells16]

That drum beat he was doing was hot. The bomb

[@ImaginationBlue]

Great job bro! You're a real talent. I love the accent too.

[@itrabos]

Same thoughts

[@tommymandel]

You, fine sir, are AWESOME! keep up the good fun and music.

[@andrewhinds6560]

I just bought one yesterday and it's awesome!

[@YEE941]

Yea I saw this guy on another krome vid, he is a beast at keys, I wish I was as good as him

[@esongsore]

Really planning to get this. I have already placed a request to be notified as soon as it is released. Apart from the piano being stunning, how does this compare to the M3?

[@hollowmenrule]

That piano strings sound is really good I know that's tearing up the church houses of worships all over

[@Kjelemani]

That Indiana Jones cover was epic. Going to buy this keyboard just so I can learn that.

[@Petsublak]

I thought the same, that part sold me the keyboard.

[@WatsBoogie]

How many tracks can u add on the recording mode

[@TheNevadaProject]

Nice demo, Luke Edwards is a good player!

[@thomascastrovillo6859]

Awesome keyboard and u are one hell of a musician!

[@dvamateur]

I am educating myself: MIDI, harmonic series, harmonic properties of fundamental waves such as sine wave, sawtooth, square, and white noise, different filter types, SysEx. sampling, how filtering is needed there and anti aliasing. If you knew how sloppily USB is implemented, you'd never use it. At this price range I'd demand 16-channel IEEE1934 option (like on Motif XF) and some physical modeling synthesis onboard. ROMplers where cool in late '80s. Didn't realize that they are cool again :)

[@gorillachilla]

this guy just sold me one well done lad

[@Lehearthos]

Wow, at 11.16 he actually starts layering Miles Davis' Perfect Way. Just amazing...

[@HighlandStudio91]

It's Scritti Politti's version,not Miles Davis.Didn't you notice that the template song on the Krome is titled Scritti Politti??

[@Lehearthos]

Wow, I did not knew that it was Miles Davis version was a cover - thanks for the info!!! :)

[@The1curiousgeorge]

Superb Demo!

[@andrewhinds6560]

I've got one and I've still yet to master its functions, but despite that, I love it.

[@ObscuredReverie]

7 years later... did you ever figure it out? I’ve had so many issues with my Korg (while still learning the basics) that I’ve not made it too far into the functions. It can be a little daunting to have SO many features, but not be able to simplify basic navigational needs... I also had to replace the internal micro SD cared after a screen error locked me out of use - and many of my voices (primarily breathy or soft voices, and most the SFX folder do not work (no sound when I touch the key). It’s been quite the headache, I wish I could solve this korg riddle and put her to better use 😪

[@andyhinds542]

@@ObscuredReverie Not yet! I think it'd be a good idea to learn how to play piano before getting anything like this as is way too advanced for my level of skill and creativity.

[@monkymonk6]

That is good to hear. May take a trip to the music shop and demo one now, thanks!

[@Spidouz]

From the first feedback I had, start up time is around 57 seconds and keybed is similar than M50 (with no aftertouch).

[@harleyrider9166]

Scritti Politti👍🏾 Led Zepplin👍🏾 Nailed it👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@ThereOnceWasAUnicorn]

7:53 wow I can't believe you played that song that is so awesome lol

[@kingofcannabisa]

ID ?? 🤔

[@TheLambLive]

04:00 Not sure if One Vision... or beginning of Mario 64.

[@stevevitella6995]

One Vision....

[@dvamateur]

IEEE1394 is not dead. It's a format that was designed for "real-time" data transmission with processor on both sides (that's why you don't have FireWire sticks). USB is not synchronized data transfer, which is of course fast (50 thousand times faster than original 5-din MIDI) but the reason we get latency, is that it is that: unsynchronized. So, it basically it works like spasmic bursts of vomit. Why is it alive? Cost. USB is the cheapest interface imaginable.

[@VladtheEmailer]

Hmmm.....the board of course, but he can teach me how to use it anytime! You have to admit he really knows his way around the block with this thing!

[@martin984]

Loved the demonstration, really impressed! I'm just not sure about what kind of sounds these come with. I have synthesizers and there I'm really not concerned about how old they are, because I have full control over how I make it sound. But here - looks like a ROMpler with its pre-loaded sounds, I'm not sure if I'd be able to get modern/time-independent sounds.

[@esongsore]

Great demo, but I wish you would have explored the tones a lot more. Thanks, this helps nonetheless

[@AustinLRhythmX]

Bam... he's good..he should be up on some stage doin that thang...good review mate.

[@Batsinthebelltower]

That 80s groove was excellent

[@gabriellehto]

Great demo!! I loved the Indiana track! Thank you!

[@zvaramiro]

amazing stuff for korg krome!!!

[@jpcyphers]

I think I've found the replacement for my old Korg 01W/fd I got some 20 yrs. ago. Although I would have the pain staking task of transferring all the songs I wrote on the 01W with 3.5 floppy (lol) to the Krome in real time.

[@0lvl]

I think this keyboard looks perfect...This is how a professional keyboard should look like.

[@mikejamm]

SO Good! Thanks for the Show!

[@etpslick100]

Oh ok. Thanks Whoc area, I figured u have to mess with it a bit to get it the way u want. The keyboard sounds incredible. More features than the S90XS, especially with the sequencer built in. I'm leaning towards the korg. Thanks for the info.

[@nightmistful]

Wow ! Beautiful workstation :)

[@JohnLRice]

Excellent demo!

[@11RICKSTER]

This guy rocks!

[@cubdukat]

Love the "Kashmir" riff!

[@TerenceKearns]

Suggestion: mix the instrument output directly into your camcorder or sync it up later in the editor. Cannot get an idea of how good the sounds are when they audio is second hand. It's too soft compared to narration too.

[@MiddleEarth0069]

I'm with you on that one dude,as I've had the same thoughts,but being that I've wasted so much money on previous Korgs that had no PC integration-as well as pissing away coin on the horrific MOX,I'm at least glad for the Krome,for what it is. As it is now,I have 2 computers running Reason 6.5 and Presonus S1 with NI Komplete 6...so whatever's missing from the Krome,I've got it covered on my computers.

[@petzzz5900]

Talented instructor

[@MiddleEarth0069]

When I had bought my MOX6,I thought it was the ultimate budget board,as it was advertised as having seamless integration with the included Cubase AI5..man...what a sham that was! $1200 for a 61-key plastic box,with a tiny screen,64 note polyphony,355MB of ROM and nearly non-existent PC integration...which is makes the Korg Krome such a gem of a keyboard. I had the Kurzweil PC3LE6 and aside from the VAST synth engine and some good acoustic sounds and effects,it was still 15 years behind the times

[@KB-qv3pb]

Thanks for posting. I wish there wasn't a ground hum/buzz throughout.

[@KeyboardKing5000]

I think he means like basically doing a dueling to combine all the sounds so you can play them at once and the drums are probably a preset...

[@AnonymousAppleIdea]

It depends what strings setting you have it on. Arco strings is very rough and attacking. Symphonic bows/platinum bows sound a lot fuller. That's going off my Kronos.

[@chrisrdgymnastics]

thank boss for sharing this,,,very helpful

[@Spidouz]

I've owned most of workstation of all major brand for the last 25 or 30 years too, including Korg main ones such M1, Wavestation, Trinity, Triton Extreme, Oasys, M3, etc... And I use them to make music as my day job, I even worked for a keyboard company few years ago, so I definitely know where we come from but I also know what we could get as today... 8 years ago, I had better sound than the Krome with the Open Labs neKo or the Receptor... They are STILL archaic and way behind technology.

[@SammyBones]

I am digging the new Korg Kronos X. I just posted a video showing the 88 key version. #Korg makes some great #keyboards #Kronos #korgkronos Sammy Bones

[@littlebluefoxstudio]

PLEASE put your combi's and templates from your demo for download!!! I would love to learn from them, study them to help me make ones of my own!

[@MeeToo42]

I have the 61 and the 88 - Incredible Keyboard - If you want the Kronos be my guest and pay $$$$, but if you want value for your buck, than this is it by far. Rivals my Yamaha Motif XS6 which is saying a lot. Even the Greek Keyboardist Zorbo, Yani, uses these bad boys... String acoustics are fantastic, guitars are amazing, and the horns and pretty much everything is there. Can load the M1 sounds, and Triton sounds.

[@yamahamusicians]

Note he says "derived from Kronos" i.e they are not the exact same sounds as in the Kronos. If you play them side by side you will hear the difference. Yes I know there is also a massive difference in price but, it's a bit misleading to keep mentioning Kronos when talking about Krome. People might be under the impression they are getting a cheaper version of the Kronos and they are not. Still a great board though and def better than the competition :)

[@xantylegendaddy]

Es impresionante el nivel que tiene un sintetizador como este, quisiera conseguir uno pero ya!!!

[@ryandean424]

I'm gonna own this in the near future

[@dvamateur]

Anywho, I am going to see Stanley Clarke and Hiromi this week, and I don't think there's gonna be much electronic istruments there. Sometimes the Nord Lead comes along with Hiromi, but this time it's most likely gonna be bass and piano. $45 a ticket. Not sure if I'd ever spend $45 to "admire" someone with iPad or Kronos on stage :)

[@monkymonk6]

I wonder if this thing is made like the M50. I was scared to take this thing on a gig for fear of breaking it! Great sounding board, but am suspect of the build quality of it.
