Korg KROME EX specs

A 61-key workstation on the EDS-X engine at 7.2 kg, with 120-note polyphony and 128 songs of 16-track onboard sequencing. The 61-key version has no aftertouch and uses a semi-weighted keyboard (the EX-88 moves to NH hammer action), and Korg's page never gives a single tone count.
