![]() The Korg Kronos can do 16 layers of sounds, splitting brass and orchestral hits in the lower octaves, while having beautiful strings in the middle range, and having another set of sounds in the upper range.Īnd, if you are thinking that the Korg Kronos would diminish in sound quality due to it combining so many textures, you would be wrong. Particularly in their music, Rudess needs the capability to do splits and layers to create massive orchestral sounds. Just know they are one of the biggest American Progressive Metal acts around, and any serious piano player has heard of or idolizes Jordan Rudess. Now if you don’t know the prog-rock band Dream Theater, that is okay. And what sells the Korg Kronos in particular-for me-is Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater. To me, this is the most important round of any keyboard duel. Now on to the most important bout, the battle of sounds. Whether you need Vinyl Break or other effects for EDM production, or more authentic piano performance effects like High definition reverb, the DSP engine can handle it all.īut regardless of this great feature, I say the the Korg Kronos wins this bout without breaking a sweat. The Korg Kronos only has 197 effect options, while the Yamaha’s effect engine adds greater versatility for the player. However, perhaps where the Yamaha Montage starts to get a leg up in this bout is with its DSP effect engine. It is also not as tall and not as wide, making it better for portability if in the event it has to leave the studio for a live performance or a recording session. On top of the Korg having an overwhelming amount of capability, it is 10 pounds lighter than its Yamaha counterpart. ![]() From its STR-1 plucked string engine with 40 voice polyphony, to the Polysi圎X CMT analog modeling engine with 180 polyphony, the Korg Kronos is more versatile. The Montage 8 is limited at 128-note stereo polyphony, which the Korg Kronos beats out with its diverse polyphony capabilities per each of its nine engines. It has a fair number of features, but it doesn’t come close to challenging the Korg Kronos. The Yamaha Montage 8 is sort of a step below the Korg Kronos. ![]()
