Krome Dome!!!

Ok I am back with a new keyboard that may peak someone’s interest. We are going to look at the Korg Krome workstation. Now I’m pretty much a big fan of Korg keyboards because they generally tend to have a good sound and feel for what I like. So as for this Krome we get the great piano and e-pianos from the Kronos mixed with the likes of an m50 with a better display. All this for a great price. While this certainly isn't a Kronos it still inspires me. When you tune into that perfect sound and hit the drum track or arpeggios, you can really get caught in a great amount of creativity. This is exactly what I like in a good workstation. With that said, there are some cons. The key bed is not as good as the kronos in my opinion, but still good enough to get feel, and not feel like you're going to break it. I wish the synth sounds were just a little bigger. They are good, but after hearing what the Kronos can do, it makes it hard to go back. The boot time is slow, so if you're a live performer keep this in mind. There is also a lack of extraneous outputs like xlr or additional inputs. Power button feels cheap and has an external power supply which may be a pro for some. No live set view, software update or upgrade, Korg what’s up with that, I know this is possible. With that said, this purchase can still be well worth it. I highly recommended this for someone needing a entry level to mid- level workstation.
