Light weight workstation for comfortable "everyday" job.
This synth was bought for working in cover band. About 3-4 times a week we perform at different events.
After transportating big 88-key full weighted stage piano, that has about 27 kg with case and cables, this synth is almost wonderfull.
Very light, but has looper, pad-sampler, very good synth sounds - very good choice for often job.
Pros:
- Light weight and small size
- Interesting design with luminous logo
- Friendly interface
- Very good synth, pads, drums, strings. And well enough brass and E.Piano.
Cons:
- Piano sound. In truth - it is not Kronos. But for that price do not wait for miracles.
- Non aleophobic front panel
- Very strange system of "Favorites" (shortcuts). When you choice one of favorite programm - you can not change it in realtime. Hope manufacturer will fix it in future updates of the OS.
I played yamaha PSRs, some old KORGs, Roland Juno Di/DS, Kurzweil synths. I can say, that this synth very good one in its class. With all modern features for modern music. Easy and comfortable keys for live performing.

best for cheap
for so long i wanted a backup keyboard and it was difficult for me to find being a long time yamaha user i didnt know much about korg other products other than kronos which is an amazing instrument so i tried roland which sounds most electronic than the yamaha then oneday browsed for the best workstations and i found korg kross2 leading the list so i thought which keyboard is this, very cheap and has good reviews, so i went and did more research about the keyboard then i fell in love with this amazing beauty
i wanted to use this as an backup for my yamaha and it creates an amazing combination espically in radio stations and concerts
Cons-its acoustic sounds are not upto level with the same level keybords like mx61&juno ds61
Pros-Light weight and good for quick gigs
My opinion is this keyboard is amazing for its price great durability and its edm sounds are next level because it sounds like sounds taken from FL studio and can be amazing controller
i am really happy and pleased with KORG

Good keyboard
This is my first workstation, basically I choose this keyboard because of portability. After I usage for almost 4 months, I conclude it is worthy to have. Moreover, it received additional sound patch from KORG website it gives additional values.
The cons, since this keyboard has small display it is quite difficult to navigate the user interface, you have to spend more time to be used to it.

Mini Workstation
A very compact keyboard packed with lots of great stuffs. I use is for live music on stage along with a Yamaha MM6 or MX61. Is has great sounds on board and lots of configurations can be done even the screen is small and have to navigate with the buttons. I mainly use it for Brass, E.Piano ans Synth Lead sounds in user combination mode where I can skip the use of the ‘Favorites’, which does not fit my needs really.
Pros:
1. Keybed feel is better than the Kross 1.
2. Very lightweight
3. Sample pads are very useful for live to trigger samples.
4. Realtime controls very handy.
5. You can load your own samples.
Cons:
1. It is not handy to carry since there are not good handling points like the Kross 1.
2. Acoustic Piano sounds are not that great.
I fully recommend this keyboard to anyone with limited budget wanting KORG sounds and a compact lightweight keyboard with full of features similar to a full fledge workstation like the Kronos. KORG has also released new expansion libraries for the Kross 2 which makes it “future proof” in terms of sounds.
