Our take on the Korg Kronos 3 Synth Workstation Keyboard

The Kronos 3 is Korg's flagship workstation, a 61-, 73- or 88-key board built around nine synthesis engines: SGX-2 acoustic piano, EP-1 electric piano, CX-3 organ, MS-20EX and PolysixEX analog modeling, AL-1, MOD-7, STR-1 and the HD-1 PCM engine. It carries a large 8-inch TouchView color screen, a 128 GB internal SSD and 48 kHz audio recording, so it works as a studio centerpiece as well as a live keyboard. The weighted 88-key RH4 action and semi-weighted 61 suit different players, and the deep engine list beats most stage pianos and romplers on flexibility, though the menu-heavy interface and size are the usual complaints. It fits players who want one board to cover piano, organ, synth and sampling work rather than a simple gigging piano.

Best forStudio producers who want many synth engines in one boardKeyboardists covering piano, organ and synth in one rigPlayers who sample and record audio internallyTouring pros who need a weighted 88-key workstation

Cons

What people mention
  • WeightCriticisedOwners say the 88-key version is heavy and awkward to carry to gigs.

  • Sound enginesPraisedPlayers value having piano, organ, analog and FM engines in one keyboard.
  • Boot timeCriticisedSome owners mention a slow start-up compared with simpler stage keyboards.
  • BuildPraisedReviewers describe the chassis and weighted action as solid and gig-worthy.

Questions and answers

Is the Kronos 3 worth it over a stage piano?
If you need organ, synth and sampling alongside piano, yes. A stage piano is lighter and simpler but covers far fewer sounds.
How does it compare with the Kronos 2?
The Kronos 3 keeps the same nine-engine design and adds a larger internal SSD and updated library. Owners of a Kronos 2 gain little unless they want the storage and current OS.
Which keybed should I choose?
The 88 uses RH4 weighted hammer action for piano feel; the 73 and 61 are lighter and easier to transport. Choose weighted for piano work, semi-weighted for synth and organ.
Can it record audio on its own?
Yes. It records at 48 kHz to the internal 128 GB SSD, so you can capture ideas without a computer.
How much sample memory does it have?
About 3 GB of PCM RAM for user samples, on top of the 314 MB preset PCM library.
Does it work as a controller for a DAW?
Yes. It sends MIDI over USB and DIN, and the sliders and touchscreen can control software, though it is not a dedicated DAW controller.
