Kross 2-61 : 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.
