The sonic flexibility and extensive controller options that the KRONOS is known for have remained. These include 9 faders, 8 rotary knobs, a keyboard with aftertouch, X/Y joystick, vector joystick and ribbon controller. In addition, this instrument comes with the KARMA function, sequencer with 16 MIDI and 16 audio tracks, extensive sampler, effects section and connection section.

Distinctive

The new model looks elegant with its black-coloured wooden side panels and is also available with 61 lightly weighted touch-sensitive keys and aftertouch, or 73 or 88 touch-sensitive keys with aftertouch and hammer mechanism. The overall design is also new, with black metal housing and black-coloured wooden side panels.
