This engine is basically an update to the version released by Korg in their "Legacy Collection" software. The capacity of the built-in preset PCM ROM is 314 MB.ĥ) The MS-20EX Legacy Analog Collection models an expanded version of the original Korg MS-20 semi-modular monophonic analog synthesizer originally released in 1978. A significant upgrade to this engine was made in November 2013 with OS 2.1 which improved both the organ model and the Leslie speaker simulation, and was accompanied by two extra banks of organ patches.Ĥ) The HD1 High Definition Synthesizer, which Korg first introduced in the OASYS, uses sample-based synthesis and wave sequencing to generate sounds from the multisamples stored on an internal solid state drive. ![]() This synth engine first appeared on Korg Oasys. Nine hardware sliders on the Kronos' control panel function as organ drawbar controllers. ![]() The CX-3 engine models a classic tonewheel organ, including rotary speaker effects, vibrato and chorus effects, and tube amplifier. This synth engine didn't exist on Korg Oasys.ģ) The CX-3 Tonewheel Organ engine is carried over from the Korg CX-3 modeled tonewheel organ released in 2001 (not Korg's 1980 CX-3 based on octave-divider technology). It also simulates amplifiers, cabinets, speakers, and effects associated with those historic electric pianos. Older Kronos models receive an OS update which includes the SGX-2 engine.Ģ) The EP-1 MDS Electric Piano sound engine offers four models based on specific classic Rhodes electric pianos and two based on Wurlitzer pianos, with software control over hammers, tines, reeds, and mechanical noise elements. SGX-2 adds modeled string resonance and support for soft pedal samples and 12 velocity layers per key, making possible a new Bechstein-styled "Berlin Grand" soundset which is factory installed on the Kronos 2. With the release of Kronos 2, SGX-2 Premium Piano superseded the SGX-1 sound engine. This synth engine didn't exist on Korg Oasys. The samples are directly streamed from the internal solid state drive by using VMT (Virtual Memory Technology). Like its predecessor, the OASYS, the Kronos has multiple sound engines:ġ) The SGX-1 Premium Piano sound engine uses continuous (not looped) stereo piano samples sampled at eight velocity layers per key to produce a Steinway-styled "German Grand" or Yamaha-styled "Japanese Grand" acoustic grand piano an optional Bösendorfer-styled "Austrian Grand" sound set is available. Updated versions have more memory and new factory sounds, but otherwise have similar hardware based on the Intel Atom processor series, so older models can be upgraded to the newer specs with user-installable OS updates and sound banks.Īs of 2022 Kronos is an end-of-life product. The Kronos X was introduced in July 2012 with OS version 2 and the Kronos 2 with OS version 3 was announced in November 2014 (marketed as "new Kronos"). Much like Kronos' predecessor and Korg's previous flagship synthesizer workstation, the OASYS, Kronos is basically a custom software synthesizer running on an Intel x86 processor and operating system based on the Linux kernel with RTAI extensions it includes 9 different sound engines which encompass the entire range of Korg synthesis technologies. 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. 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.
