These sound resources are distributed directly by KORG on their Shop (click here), where you can search for titles by instrument: Piano, Strings, Organ, Bass, etc., publication year, price range, and developer name. Two types of libraries are available: EXs, which includes new PCM data, and KRS, with only Program data. The *Artist Signature* libraries also offer valuable Programs created or used by top musicians and artists in their most famous hits or prestigious concerts. Demo sounds and videos are also available for these libraries to evaluate their content. For users who own multiple KRONOS units, the library license allows sharing each title with up to three units.\n\n* *The Demo version has a usage limitation: volume fluctuation occurs cyclically during playback.*\n* *The total of 3 units can also include **NAUTILUS***.\n\n## **\u003cu\u003eKRONOS 3-61 Technical Specifications\u003c\/u\u003e**\n\n**System**: KRONOS System Version 3.2\n\n**Keyboard**: 61 Keys: Natural Touch Semi-Weighted\n\n**Sound Generator**: 9 types of Synthesis\n\n* SGX-2: Premium Piano (Acoustic Piano)\n* EP-1: MDS Electric Piano (Electric Piano)\n* HD-1: High Definition Synthesizer (PCM)\n* AL-1: Analog Synthesizer (Analog Modeling)\n* CX-3: Tonewheel Organ (Tonewheel Organ Modeling)\n* STR-1: Plucked Strings (Physical Modeling)\n* MOD-7: Waveshaping VPM Synthesizer (VPM Synthesis)\n* MS-20EX: Component Modeling Technology (Analog Modeling)\n* PolysixEX: Component Modeling Technology (CMT Analog Modeling)\n\n**Maximum Polyphony*1*2**\n\n* SGX-2: 100 voices *3\n* EP-1: 104 voices\n* HD-1: 140 voices\n* AL-1: 80 voices\n* CX-3: 200 voices\n* STR-1: 40 voices\n* MOD-7: 52 voices\n* MS-20EX: 40 voices\n* PolysixEX: 180 voices\n* *1: In rare cases, when a large number of processor-intensive effects are active simultaneously (e.g., more than 14 O-Verbs), polyphony may be slightly reduced.*\n* *2: A portion of the KRONOS multicore processor is dedicated to voice generation, while a separate portion is dedicated to effect generation.

MS-20EX accurately reproduces the tonal character of the MS-20 using KORG's proprietary CMT (Component Modeling Technology), which allows for extensive programming possibilities such as filter modulation with audio frequency oscillators, transforming audio inputs into control signals, controlling virtual knobs with modulation sources like additional envelopes, LFOs, and real-time controls, all with ample polyphonic articulation.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;PolysixEX (Legacy Analog Collection) \u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Analog Physical Modeling Generator\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The Polysix, a 6-voice analog polyphonic synth with programmable memories, appeared in 1981 with a seemingly very simple structure including a single oscillator and sub-oscillator, four-pole filter, LFO, envelopes, an effective Chorus\/Ensemble, and an integrated arpeggiator. It was capable of generating very effective and iconic sounds like Strings or Pad, and PolysixEX can accurately simulate them with high polyphonic capability and greater synthesis possibilities.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;AL-1 (Analog Synthesizer) - Analog Synthesis Generator for Physical Models \u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Features virtual low-aliasing oscillators that recreate the same impact as analog synthesizers, along with multimode filters with resonance and typical modulation controls to achieve classic analog sounds or interesting hybrid timbres.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;MOD-7 (Waveshaping VPM Synthesizer) - VPM\/Waveshaping\/PCM Sound Generator\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;C\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt;ombines various synthesis techniques: Variable Phase Modulation (VPM), Wave-Shaping, Ring Modulation, Sampling, subtractive synthesis, with a complex Patching system worthy of a large modular synth.
