Real Groove Technology

The Korg KR-55 Pro features “Real Groove Technology” which uses data recorded from actual professional musicians performing at various tempi, and is a completely different technology than conventional rhythm machines There are a total of 24 high-quality rhythm styles, each fine tuned to provide the best possible feel, to accurately reproduce the experience of playing with a percussionist.

The sounds, grooves, and phrases will play back at pristine quality even if you change the tempo, so you can enjoy playing serious jam sessions at your own pace.

Each rhythm style includes a wide variety of patterns: two variations in addition to basic, fill-in 1, and fill-in 2 This means that the KR-55 Pro can provide the accompaniment for an entire song By using the chain function, which lets you put together and memorize a different rhythm style for each measure, you can freely create even complex rhythm tracks Up to 30 banks of chains can be stored, and each chain can be up to 999 measures long.

Battery operation for convenient portability

In addition to using the included adapter, the unit can also be powered by six AA batteries. Battery operation allows up to seven hours of continuous use, so the KR-55 Pro can be used even where an AC outlet is not available.
