 From the basement of Wise Buddah Studios, London, the award winning UK producer, keyboardist and songwriter, Jem Godfrey, gives you his take on the Korg Kronos and whizzes you through a brief overview of the nine synth engines.

Korg Kronos

The Kronos is a music workstation manufactured by Korg that combines nine different synthesizer sound engines with a sequencer, digital recorder, effects, a color touchscreen display and a keyboard. Korg's latest flagship synthesizer series at the time of its announcement, the Kronos series was announced at the winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, California in January, 2011. Essentially a computer housed in the form of a musical keyboard, Kronos utilizes for its operation an Intel Atom processor running a custom operating system based on the Linux kernel, much like Kronos' predecessor and Korg's previous flagship synthesizer workstation, the OASYS.
