Korg Krome EX Music Workstation Keyboard (Used)

A pre-owned Korg workstation built around the EDS-X sound engine — a celebrated German D grand piano, three classic electric piano voices, dynamic drum kits, dual arpeggiators, a 16-track sequencer, and Korg's signature 7-inch TouchView display.

A Smart Fit For You

The Krome EX is the kind of workstation that earns its place on a stage or in a studio because the sounds are genuinely usable straight out of the box. The German D grand piano captures the rich, complex tone of a full-size concert instrument with long unlooped samples, three different vintage electric piano flavors cover everything from warm Rhodes-style to barking Wurlitzer-style voices, and the updated PCM library leans into modern EDM, ethnic instruments, and cinematic Hollywood-style FX so contemporary productions never sound dated. Dual polyphonic arpeggiators can drive bass lines, drum patterns, and pad layers simultaneously in Combination or Sequencer mode, the 16-track sequencer with Cue List and RPPR makes building full songs fast, and the large 7-inch color TouchView display keeps editing intuitive rather than menu-heavy. Buying one used is a sharp move — flagship workstation-class features at a real-world price.

Sound and Feel

The Krome EX's German D grand piano is the star of the show for many players — long, unlooped samples deliver a natural decay and a complex resonance that flatter both quiet passages and full chords. The three electric piano voices cover the most-requested vintage tones cleanly, and the included vintage amp, cabinet, and effects modeling means organs and EPs have the right kind of dirt and movement without external pedals. The updated PCM library leans into the sounds modern productions actually need: punchy EDM drum kits, big polyphonic synth pads, crisp leads, and a useful set of ethnic and cinematic voices. With dual arpeggiators running, a single voice can become a layered groove — kick and hi-hats from one arp, bass line from another, and the keyboard's hands free for melody or chord work.
