Kelfar Technologies recorded each vintage instrument separately and used original, period-specific amps, mics, and distortion pedals to reproduce each classic tone. Dynamics, velocities, switching, and round robin/wave sequencing per program and sound add to its authenticity. Each instrument sounds and behaves exactly as it should – but all through your Korg Kronos keyboard!
