KRS113 Greatest Hits - 80’s

This is the first such pack, where to play complete world’s cover, there is no need for ANY external sources, like additional audio or midi files, samples, musical parts played by other instruments or even extra band playing drum, bass, guitar or other instrumental parts.

So it means EVERYTHING is played by internal resources of Kronos – using its internal edited patches. Specific programs were programmed within each combination by means of Tone Adjust function, what allowed for getting close to original sounds of the 80-ties. Karma scenes correspondent to respective blocks of given song, while the chords can be triggered using the pads – they are smartly programmed to reflect original chord sequence of given song.


So all the player has to do is to trigger given pads (or just play chords on left section of keyboard) in the right moment and play solo part with right hand using programmed patches on the right keyboard section. Sounds familiar? Like Arranger keyboard? Close, yet Karma is playing the role of Arranger and you are music conductor. So this means that you can either play the song as close to original as possible, or you can make your own arrangement, playing for example chorus part twice or shift the bridge with intro or endings or mid sections – it is your call.

As much as these Combis were prepared to play original hits as close as possible, nothing stops you from experimenting and using them to play some other tunes or arrangements.

Prepared package is a perfect complementation of factory installed Combi sets. Wide range of well know hits from the golden era of music in the 80-ties is covered here – you certainly know all these tunes and now you have them on your Kronos prepared in professional way ready to play and have fun with the instrument.

"Greatest Hits - 80’s” combis use all 4 KARMA modules and all 8 scenes available in the machine. We have also enhanced the setup by programming the controllers to expand a potential of Korg Kronos workstation even more.

Note: The factory Programs of the KRONOS2 are arranged differently from those of the original KRONOS and KRONOS X. This affects sounds which reference the factory Programs. Please download the file which matches your KRONOS model.
