The KRONOS control system has been meticulously refined over generations to deliver a performance interface as intuitive as it is powerful. Its layout—featuring eight real-time knobs, nine sliders, and a suite of performance controls—remains comfortably familiar, empowering musicians to focus on their craft and perform intuitively.
At the heart of the interface lies the large, responsive TouchView display, now faster and more responsive than ever, offering at-a-glance access to vital information and settings. This seamless design ensures anyone familiar with previous KRONOS models can effortlessly dive in.


While the hallmark features of KRONOS remain unchanged, its fourth-generation design introduces subtle yet striking updates. The powder-coated metal body ensures durability and a premium tactile feel, while refined black wood side panels add a sophisticated edge. These enhancements guarantee KRONOS not only performs flawlessly but also commands attention on any stage.
KRONOS takes performance efficiency to new heights with a 60% faster startup process compared to previous models. A reengineered system architecture drastically reduces downtime, letting you focus on music instead of waiting. Combined with an enhanced TouchView interface, every interaction feels instantaneous, precise, and intuitive.


KRONOS is more than an instrument—it’s a commitment. Since its inception in 2011, every model of KRONOS has received substantial updates while ensuring compatibility and continuity across generations. KORG’s dedication to long-term support means all KRONOS systems can use the full breadth of KRONOS Sound Libraries, preserving your investment and enabling seamless upgrades with each hardware refresh.
For previous KRONOS and NAUTILUS owners, KORG will release a Soundpack in the second half of 2025 that brings the latest KRONOS sounds to earlier models—ensuring every musician benefits from KORG’s ongoing innovations.
With continuous updates, cross-model support, and upcoming expansion packs, KRONOS is built to last—ensuring musicians can trust their investment for years to come.


In addition to MIDI and Audio tracks, the onboard sequencer is equipped with powerful tools designed to transform your musical ideas into complete compositions. Unlike traditional DAWs, KRONOS delivers real-time and interactive techniques that are either unavailable or cumbersome to use on computer-based systems.


First appearing on KORG’s Karma Music Workstation in 2001, this revolutionary algorithmic music technology instantly produces sophisticated phrases, drum grooves, and full backing tracks. Based on the notes and chords you play—and the intuitive operations you perform with knobs, sliders, and switches—KARMA creates musical results that exceed expectations.
Now in its greatly enhanced second generation, KARMA offers advanced features such as Wave-Sequencing, Note Mapping, and 8 scenes per layer. Included as standard equipment on your new KRONOS, KARMA expands your conception of a song and serves as an inspiring creative asset for composers and performers alike.


First introduced in the acclaimed M3 workstation in 2007, Drum Tracks now comes standard in the new KRONOS. This feature can generate everything from a simple reference beat or practice rhythm up to a complete, performance-ready drum track.
Expanded for KRONOS, Drum Tracks include professional drum performances that capture the feel and nuance of a live drummer—delivering grooves that rival and even challenge stand-alone drum machines.


KRONOS features a powerful sequencer/recording section with both 16 MIDI tracks and 16 audio tracks, giving you the resources to craft dazzling performances or complete studio productions. Capture pro-quality phrases using KARMA, Drum Track, or RPPR (Realtime Pattern Play/Recording) with ease.
The 16-track audio recorder lets you simultaneously capture up to four tracks of 16-bit/24-bit uncompressed audio at 48 kHz. Play along with existing tracks, add effects, and even resample KRONOS internally, placing WAV files directly into your arrangement. From mixer automation to editing tools like copy, paste, and normalize, every detail is at your command. You can even assemble an entire album directly from the TouchView display.
With its integrated sequencer and audio recorder, KRONOS eliminates the need for external DAWs, letting you compose, produce, and finish entire songs directly inside the workstation.
