NAMM 2025: Korg Kronos 3

At NAMM 2025, we caught up with Luke from Korg, who introduced us to the Kronos 3, the anticipated return of their flagship live-performance keyboard. The Kronos line, which started in 2011, is renowned for its significance in live gigs, and after overcoming component and regulation challenges during the pandemic, it's back with updates. Visually, the Kronos 3 features a sleek all-black finish with black wooden end cheeks.

Inside, the enhancements include a new motherboard, doubling of SSD storage to 120GB, and improved touchscreen responsiveness. The iconic setlist and smooth sound transitions remain, while the 9 sound engines see additions of new sampled pianos, electric pianos, and orchestral sounds. The Kronos 3 maintains the fully-functioning sampler and 16-track MIDI and audio sequencers. Available in 61, 73, and 88-key models, pricing starts from approximately £2,599.
