The Korg Kross is an update of a very successful workstation from Korg and it does all of the above and a little bit more besides… What’s in the box? “Yeah, and while you’re there, make it dirt cheap, too,” they may well ask. They want a scratch-pad sequencer to get ideas down while on the road and they also want a decent amount of effects, maybe even some sampling. ![]() There are still those who want a great and varied range of sounds, some that emulate real instruments and some that sound out of this world. Analogue is very much the beating heart of the synthesiser once more – whether real or virtual – but not everyone wants it. Now, instead of one box to do it all, people want hundreds of boxes (modular), or complete analogue mono synths, or virtual analogues, soft synths or analogue polys. Three decades later, of course, the world of the synth has changed beyond all recognition. ![]() Analogue synths had come and largely gone and everyone was clammering for thousands of sounds, effects, onboard sequencing… basically, everything in one box. Back in the day – and this is somewhat revealing my age – when I first got into synthesisers, the digital workstation was the all-new synth fashion statement and my first gear purchase.
