The mechanism of the keyboard has been redesigned to allow for better velocity, no matter how complex the chord or phrase is. It’s perfect for playing piano or electric piano in any style, and has become the prime choice in keyboardists globally throughout the years.

Kronos LS also ships with the most recent operating system, offering new Quick Layer/Split via the large, color Touchscreen. Splits and Layers can also be saved on the spot into a Combination, saving players considerable editing time and providing more flexibility for live situations.
