[@BlueDreamBeats97]

Thank you for this! was worried because i hadnt seen it in person to play with it but this review was thorough and specific! thank you cant wait to get my own :)

[@rickmcquillis6626]

Love your playing, your demonstrations are always the best, Luke! After hearing this and watching you, I'm about to go and purchase, one of these bad boys, for my own. You are a magnificently talented keyboardist and I always enjoy your videos ❣️😎👍🎹

[@ronaldmorrow1198]

I' M GONNA GET ONE ALAO...YES SIR

[@JonathanBrewerMusicUK]

Great synth, sonically superb!

[@pianoshaun7147]

Will be buying , owned korgs in past but switched to Roland Fa06 because has pads, korg finally got pads, can't wait to own this 🤗🎶🎹👍

[@rockhead11]

Pianoshaun71 Hello Pianoshaun. Did you switch out your FA-06 for one of these? I’m thinking of doing the same but would like your opinion after having your hands on both

[@carleshipp1446]

Yeah this is what I want this particular model right here

[@rickmcquillis6626]

As always you are incredible ❣️ Nobody does it better!!

[@sophiejoannapenikett7572]

This was such an interesting video to watch! 😁😁 Amazing sounds - ‘twas dancing when watching this 😂

[@aseelriyadh1556]

Hi are you keyboardist ?

[@markfennah4322]

Brilliant exposition - the best !

[@margotmuller2893]

klasse gemacht!! you showed just the things I was looking for - thank you for good work!

[@ruloboii]

What a beautyful keyboard man

[@ADARUP-zj4qn]

Very nice and sweet sounds korg kross2

[@IgnorantCrayon]

Goonies! Love it.

[@user-ec6ix9ck2k]

You make some really fine music!

[@casmirron]

Very nice workstation ! Luke is the King of Korg. But I missed a demo of the vocoder.

[@witchdoctordisco-djchriswa2923]

GREAT DEMO AS ALWAYS LUKE - is there a PDF manual for the Kross 2. Thank you Chris Ware

[@mikegeeguitarman8991]

That my man is a first rate keyboard. So useful..oh and hey..what a player you are dude!

[@MacMinded]

I LOVE this guy! I had NO idea my board could do all this! Thank you so much, man!

[@88worksconceptsllc72]

More helpful than the manual, I think. LOL!

[@MichelBarbaro]

Great demo and a great keyboard. The only thing: what a shame the knobs seem to be NOT assignable! Am I wrong? Thanks.

[@wolfzensanctuary]

This is going to be my new board!

[@sirgeorgehull5047]

You are amazing I’m getting one for Christmas

[@OranteFrazier]

He said this was a beginner board, wow.

[@junkokinoko7277]

Always watching your KZbin channel & hopefully can get a tip of advise choosing between KK2 or Roland Juno ds in terms of easy recalling save performance edited patches on the fly. Thank you

[@latheefpayyatamkannur2519]

After we compose patterns can we save it anywhere and use it for 16 track sequencer

[@loisslaughter9307]

wonderful review thank you

[@55olas]

Hi. While playing live music on stage, how easy is it to transpose all keys up or down? Can it be done quickly with a dedicated button?

[@alphasxsignal]

Super job.

[@davidmartin123]

@9:50 But I enjoy playing like a lunatic! Hahaha. Nice demo, well presented. I still have my trusty TEx88, but I do like the features of the Kross 88.

[@iveno_]

Hey Luke can you compare both korgs the first and second generation?! What's really different other then the sequencer?! THANKS!

[@briane.paulson]

Just bought one!

[@marko6394]

Can you record and play back/loop a key sequence? I'd like to play a short melody, loop it, and play my drums and/or guitar along with it.

[@StanslaMichael]

Super great informative video.

[@defmaster88]

I love it!

[@neorich59]

Really helpful. Thank you. I'm thinking about buying the 88 Key version. I particularly need to create programmed sounds to call up easily in live situations. I appreciate that there are up to 16 parts, which is great. Does anyone know whether, or not, there are multiple split options available, i.e. to create a programme with say four different parts, or layers, in different areas of the keyboard, which can be saved, or it limited to one split? Any advice gratefully received! Ta..

[@jagritkamra1]

Yes

[@wildnites558]

I'm a Roland/Yamaha guy. But I loved the Korg Kross I when I first tried it out a few years ago. The one thing that kept me from bringing it home was the horrible keyboard feel. The keys depth and feel reminded me of a toy piano. I hope they improved the key bed in V. 2 because if they did, I will definitely be buying it! And I love the addition of the pads, very helpful during live shows. I wish Yamaha would do the same.

[@PeterGarofalo]

I bought a Kross 2 & sent it back, just didn't like the keys feel. everything else is great , but I need to enjoy playing it & it felt plastic . Pity I've had loads of 61 keys Korgs & even a tactile 49key & they all play better than these keys., you can't do organ shreds on it. it's a workstation .

[@madness8556]

I felt the same way about the Yamaha modx6. Loved the sounds but the keyboard action was like a cheap crappy Casio so I didn't buy it.

[@nlovescourage]

I stuck with my kross for about six months, but now I want to resell it just because of the keyboard feel

[@positivemind6010]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@latheefpayyatamkannur2519]

Can we do several patterns like Korg Tr work statation

[@Zardoz125]

Holy shit! Love that opening music!

[@lynx48k]

The Fratelli Chase

[@brunodadivore9606]

Hello Nice video as always. Thank you havé a question using controlers. For instance is korg nano with faders able to control easily some sound parameters like organs for example? Thanks

[@KungFuJunky]

If using this for recording, and you need notes higher or lower than the 61 note range, is there a setting that allows access to the extra octaves?

[@filemongolgota3581]

Definitely

[@krzysztoffilianowicz5154]

hello, is it possible to open an mp3 song on korg kross 2 ?

[@a.j.j5900]

Bruhhh... mad talent

[@daeone1514]

I played it at guitar center and it doesn't has no rotary sou d for the organ. So I'm kinda like...but it's cool for pulling and playing and I didn't know it could sample so easy. So I'm liking a little more

[@ronaldgore7892]

Yes it does. All you had to do was move the pitch wheel which turns the rotary on and off.

[@daeone1514]

That's different. well it's pretty good then

[@HighlandStudio91]

Brilliant video...an A for presentation!One little gripe though,as the window that shows the close up of the keyboard,is blurry.

[@mirandamirae]

can you use sound expansion cards with this?

[@mooncritter721]

If you really want to hear what this amazing keyboard can do, check out HYPNOTICA-Beyond the mind. (outboard delays and reverb effects were used on this recording.)

[@pheldonmajors2999]

Thank you for.sharing!

[@Neil-Aspinall]

Does anyone know if there is a demo with all the key sounds?

[@sauravsunar5548]

sir i bought korg kross2 recently.m confused at a point .. how many pedals can be connected in damper, switch and pedals??? is it 3 pedals having different works to operate???..plzz plzz guide me

[@giantfilmz2593]

Do you need speakers for sound? Or can ypu llay without the speakers?

[@samueljoseph1867]

Manual says usb audio interface, does this act as a midi controller with audio interface built in for output from computer?

[@bwicklander]

yes to all

[@FrancisMaxino]

I've got one and have filled a bank of sampler pads full of Doctor Who samples like the tardis and sonic screwdriver, dalek ray gun etc. the other one has classic old Star Trek sounds, phaser, tricorder, ambient ship sound, door opening etc. ha ha ha, it's so funnty...my girlfriend hates them but I think they're marvellous, nothing like pressing a button and hearing the tardis materialising or the swoosh of a sliding door from the starship enterprise.

[@peteroppong1171]

BEAM ME UP CAPTAIN! Anyway I'm a KLINGON. ha! 😄

[@pianomanjf]

Is the keyweight of the Kross any lighter than the Kronos? I found from a pianist point of view to be to heavy

[@ganeshmaliofficial7259]

Sir kore kross2 vs xps 30 who is best

[@KaeRZed]

At 2'57, one can see the only way found by Korg to have the sound of the K2000 ! ("K2000" was the french title of the "Knight Rider" series).... ;o)

[@YoursTrulyThe1Pony]

Always loved playing music practically the only thing I'm somewhat good at is drums but I want to try playing keyboard too. I've already tried guitar and bass and the drums now it's time for piano playing. I need a keyboard that won't break me like the ones that cost $3,000

[@darrelbaring]

I bought this keyboard based on that first sound with the orchestral and timpani sound, but I couldn't find anywhere after I got the keyboard. How do I get this sound patch?

[@vabakadabra1277]

First track Goonies! Poggers

[@BenaresMusic]

The Goonies never say die!

[@BostonDeadHead]

Anyone know that ARP patch used for the Stranger Things theme on the Kross ,2? Can't seem to find it.

[@gawnbawngkurz]

Say I wanted to create my own bass line, beat, sounds, etc....this machine does pattern sequencing, right?

[@Bass-guitarist]

Any help please? Looking at purchasing the 61 key Korg vs the Roland DS61 juno?

[@rashminbhatt6929]

Very nice keyboard but why tone is cutting while we change isnot any function like Patch remain ON In XPS 30 ..tone cut problem matters in show specially in India bcoz it may happen that only one melody will be leading..it makes big difference between XPS30 & Kross 2..

[@markanthonyfornillos9002]

Hi. Can i buy and use other brand of sd card? Thanks

[@marciojardim8318]

Hi does it plays MIDI files and I didn’t has a usb for a pen flash? It’s a very sad and not very common thing nowadays, no one is using anymore a card to save our transport memory…,

[@paramanandachhatria1570]

I want to purchase this unit but there is no stock in many sellers. Can you please help me to purchase???

[@rohitkrishnar4049]

When I take output from kross 2 it sucks but it's great with headphone . How to resolve this

[@try_this_one_]

Don't use the headphone output

[@evankeal]

Impressive synth, but only two keyboard options, neither is useable for me.

[@adilbakhsh287]

For those of you considering buying it Remember the demo shows bits of a music style but he never changes instruments or tones. if he had done it his performance would suck greatly lol Plus when you select category, and if you have to go to guitar patch 70 you have to jog dial Yes you can add them to favorites but that’s taking away your sample pads I don’t know I don’t like the idea.

[@nickynice779]

M8 ur brilliant uve sold it to me hands down

[@marcuschavez6327]

Is the Korg Kris’s 2 portable? Does it have “ Bluetooth connectivity?”

[@matthewelder4000]

Would this be good for synthwave retrowave music?

[@FrancisMaxino]

Yes, it is perfect because it has a most of those classic retro eities and nineties synth sounds and is fully programmable to adjust them to your own needs.

[@HighlandStudio91]

Luke, You mentioned that Korg has upgraded the sounds....can you please define the word...upgrade??Reason I ask,is that both Kross 1 & 2 have the same engine,the same effects & both have 4 voices per oscillator...which just leaves the PCM content.Is the extra 16MB of PCM data of the Kross 2,applied to some of the presets from the old Kross?Or does the increased ROM just account for the Kroos 2's total number of presets?

[@Yu-jin28]

launchpad bro :)

[@debashis5484]

My dear beloved sir, I need to buy a sd card for korg kross 2 fully loaded with sound. How can I get this.

[@ronaldofelipedasilva1305]

Hello. I'm Brazilian and I mean I was very fascinated with your video (tutorial korg kross2). I bought one (korg kross2 88) but I do not know how to use its functions and features available. In your video I realize that you have great mastery of the mentioned keyboard, besides playing very well. The timbres, arrangements and sequences that you used are perfect. Your video encouraged me to buy that keyboard. But if it is possible, I ask your help to teach me to use every detail of this keyboard, or rather, you teach me to do everything that was done in the tutorial in detail. If it is possible for you to help me, I ask you to transmit in Portuguese, because I do not know how to speak English or write. In this text I am using a translator (google translator). I am very fascinated with your technique develops in korg kross2. A big hug, I hope you can help me.

[@3star2nr]

Just explore it and play with it. Experiment man. You have the tool you need to use it to learn how it works

[@ZZDavidJRZZ]

lol

[@danmenezes_]

Põe com legenda em português Brazuca

[@tonysworkouts]

I am looking for someone to give me a private tutoring session on zoom. I have a korg kross 61 workstation and the manual and the KZbin video is not working for me. Willing to pay. Please help. [Am i allowed to ask something like that on here ? LOL I want to master my workstation . ] GREAT JOB DUDE,

[@LadyonKeys]

Can you save your sequences INSIDE the keyboard itself?

[@bwicklander]

yes, but you must save them to the sd card. if you turn it off it doesn't remember your work until you reload it in

[@goodsound4756]

No demo of the Vocoder though...

[@christophersellers4018]

Goonies!!!!

[@mattleone5831]

Does that have on board speakers?

[@kaisehr5329]

Hi! Whats the song called @ 4:57?:)

[@rodrigodemico6269]

Top korg é korg tenho um teclado korg kross é uma máquina , queria uma camisa dessa da korg .

[@ramonaclaytor8736]

How do I import other sounds?

[@uniquebeatsboutique]

I am interested in the juno ds, but now i see this and im leaning towards this kross. 2 questions, can you edit the samples length and does it have a vocoder with pitch control? Thanks for the great vid

[@iveno_]

I have seen vocoder stuff from the korg, look it up you'll find it!

[@danielloureiro2114]

Like me but for the 88 version! The Roland is better on keybed and off course the Axial website!

[@fahimdawer]

Red Dragon Even though it's a personal choice but kross cannot compete with juno ds and you will regret buying kross they sounds nothing compare to juno ds.

[@bigmarxbeats]

Go with the Roland. I have the kross2 . You can't stretch 1 or multiple the samples across ALL of the keys. Only just 16 keys

[@EnryOnTheKeys]

you are wrong man.

[@rudramali2996]

Roland xps30 vs korg kross2 who is the best keyboard

[@studioreverb4058]

Both have 90% similar function..But here The Kross 2 will be 1 step forward for editing sample , Which doesn't perform on xps30.

[@rolandvisser4143]

Possible to have a "Korg" T-Shirt like that ?

[@adrenscott2284]

What is song played at 7:40

[@ramonaclaytor8736]

So, does it record tracks if so how many.

[@bwicklander]

It has 16 chan sequencer and separate audio recorder, it can also trigger audio samples using the 16 pads

[@latheefpayyatamkannur2519]

Pls let me know

[@jodieblanc1322]

does this keyboard is great for playing Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis...???

[@vicoycoytv6516]

OMG Did he just predict the intro theme song of STRANGER THINGS on netflix? or its a famous piece of song?
