Kronos 3 Music Workstation Keyboard (61 Key)

DigitalPolyphonic

Did you know the Kronos series has been a stage staple for over a decade, powering pros from live electronic sets to orchestral hybrids with its unmatched sound depth? The 61-key version brings that legacy into a more portable package at just 31 pounds.

This digital powerhouse packs nine premium sound engines—from the enhanced SGX-2 piano with unlooped stereo samples, 12-level velocity switching, and new Italian Grand tones, to HD-1 for versatile synthesis, EP-1 electric pianos, and more—delivering over 300 libraries and 21GB of waveforms across 256 programs. Hands-on control shines with an 8-inch TouchView color display for drag-and-drop editing, eight realtime knobs, nine sliders, a vector joystick, and a responsive Natural Touch semi-weighted keybed with velocity and aftertouch. It includes a 16-track MIDI sequencer, 16-track 48kHz audio recorder, KARMA arpeggiator for generative phrases, open sampling, 16 effects processors, set list mode with seamless transitions, and connectivity like USB/MIDI host, damper pedal input, and two assignable pedal jacks. At 41.9 by 14.3 by 5.3 inches, it's built tough for studio or gig reliability with 60% faster startup.

Players love its intuitive flow and vast palette that nails everything from lush pads to realistic acoustics, though some note the semi-weighted action favors synth players over strict piano purists.
