Kid Nepro and Korg synthesizers go back to 1984, when we released our first set of sounds for the original Poly 800 synthesizer. Over the past thirty years, we have created thousands of sounds for over twenty five Korg synths. So, when Korg released Krome (their newest workstation), it was only natural that we continue doing what we do best – make new sounds for it.
The Krome synth engine is similar the Korg’s Kronos HD-1 engine, which we know very well. That made it easy to get up to speed with Krome and start programming new sounds right away. With a little help from our friends at Korg, we immediately imported 32 MB of our best analog synth samples into Krome and went to work creating new programs and combis from the new samples. The result is our first release for Krome – Vintage Synths.
In addition to the 32 MB of new samples, Krome Vintage Synths features 64 programs and 16 combis($49. USD). All programs and combis include drum track and arpeggio function (so you can easily jam along), as well as control assignments to Krome’s joystick, user knobs and switches. The result is the best analog sounds with the best modern controls that will inspire you to do what you do best – create cool new music.

When we get our hands on a new synth, we spend a lot time with it in order to create the finest new sounds possible. It can take a year or longer to complete a sound library for today’s modern workstation’s. So, we just wanted to let everyone know that we will be continuing our support for Korg’s next generation workstation and we will be creating several new sound libraries for Krome over the next year. Get on our mailing list and we will keep you posted with more details on what’s coming for Krome. It’s going to be awesome!

Kid Nepro is one of few sounds companies still supporting vintage samplers that use the old floppy disks. While we still offer the floppies for sale and delivery by snail mail, we have now made available most of our vintage sampler floppy disks as .img (image) files that can be downloaded. That means no more waiting for those old floppies to arrive in the mail. We have also slashed the price in half on all downloadable floppies images. Now only $5. for each disk image, as well as big savings on bulk orders. Email Us and let us know how many disks your looking to pick up. We will send you a price quote.
The not so good news is that you need a PC computer with an “internal floppy drive” in order to create your own floppy disks with the image files that you download. We include a free app with your order that lets you create the floppy disks. The app is for PC’s only. You can not do this with an external floppy drive. It will work with internal floppy drives only.
If you have the right hardware set up, then pick up a bunch of floppy’s and your ready to roll. Remember to choose the correct floppy type for your sampler. Many of the old samplers use the “High Density” 1.44 MB disks. They are getting harder to find these days, there are still many places were you can get them. A quick google search will turn up several. However, a few old samplers will only read “Double Density” 720k disks. We have listed them below. Those can be pretty hard to find any more, but you can still get some if you look around.
If you need any more info, just Email Us or give a call and we will be happy to help. Here is a list of what is available. Just click each link to bring you to the floppy disk lists.
The price of the floppy’s are $10. each at the links below, when sent through snail mail, but only $5. each when downloaded as image files. Contact us with the image numbers of the files you would like and we will send you a price quote. Killer deals on bulk orders. The more you buy, the more you save!

Korg Kronos Volume #9 – EXi Super Synths combines four Kronos synth engines to create an amazing mix of classic and modern synth sounds. 64 Programs – 32 Combis – Only $39. USD.
Korg really raised the bar when they included nine different sound engines under the hood of Kronos. One of the coolest features available in Kronos is being able to combine two different engines (in program mode) and as many as all nine if you want to take things to the max in combi mode.
After focusing on programming sounds for the individual engines in our fist eight Kronos sound libraries, we thought the time was right to put together a collection of sounds that combines several of the engines. Since we wanted it to be a EXi “Synth” library, we picked the synth engines which were best at recreating that style – Mod-7, Al-1, MS-20 & Poly 6.
All programs have two OSC’s and two engines included in each patch. Combis include all four engines together as well as drums and percussion from the HD-1 engine in the drum track and KARMA modules. The results are a truly unique set of “Super Synth” sounds that bring together the best of what is possible in each of the Kronos sound engines.
New sounds for a vintage beat box. The worlds biggest sound library for the classic EMU SP1200 just got even bigger. Kid Nepro has just released 33 new sample disks to increase the library to a humongous 150 disks.
The new sound disks include a wide range of new dub step, hip hop, rock, reggae, 8 bit, R&B and electronic drum kits, as well as new kicks and snares, percussion and “circuit bend madness”, which contains a mix of sound effects and unusual drums and percussion. There is also a new mix of guitars, basses and synth sounds in each kit to add some spice to your drum tracks.

One of the best features in Korg’s workstations over the past few years, has been the addition of KARMA. A lot has been written about it, with many people saying that it’s “difficult to learn” and “you need a PHD to understand how to use it”. Well, it may take some time to understand exactly what is going on when you press that KARMA button, but the musical benefits are well worth taking the time to do that. After all, you did not learn how to play keyboards overnight (right?) and this is very much the same thing. KARMA is like unraveling the DNA of music and can go very deep when it comes to programming sound. If you like to tweak, then KARMA is definitely for you!
KARMA can bring you in directions that you normally would not go and bring new life to your music in ways would never have thought of – so I would recommend anyone who has a Korg keyboard with KARMA included to dig in and see what’s going on under the hood. There is also a lot of great tutorials on how KARMA works at the KARMA LAB WIKI to help you along.
While this is not a tutorial on how KARMA works, I wanted to mention that the music in the video was all done using the KARMA “Atonal GE’s”. A “GE” is a KARMA Generated Effect. It is the name for a single KARMA algorithmic effect. Other keyboards might refer to this as an arpeggio, pattern or phrase, but there is much more to KARMA then what you would find in the simple ARP or pattern. With KARMA, the sky’s the limit!
For those not familiar with the term “Atonal Music” or “12 Tone Technique, Wikipedia defines it as: Music that lacks a tonal center, or key. Atonality in this sense usually describes compositions written from about 1908 to the present day where a hierarchy of pitches focusing on a single, central tone is not used, and the notes of the chromatic scale function independently of one another. More narrowly, the term describes music that does not conform to the system of tonal hierarchies that characterized classical European music between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries.
In other words, it’s not your typical pop music that’s in the “Key of C” – so don’t expect to write your next billboard top 100 hit using the KARMA Atonal GE’s!
The inventor or twelve tone technique was the Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg, who first described it in 1923. The method was used during the next twenty years almost exclusively by the composers of the Second Viennese School – Alban Berg, Anton Webern and Schoenberg himself.
Atonal technique works best if your composing modern classical music or doing movie soundtracks – so if your doing that or interested in getting into it then check out our upcoming release for the Kronos titled “Soundtrack Mix”. It’s going to be much like the Soundtrack Mix for the Korg M3 which features many of the best sounds from that collection – including many of the programs and combis that use the KARMA atonal GE’s including the mind blowing “Mind Of Cheney” combi.
The demo contains a combi that we call “Schoenberg Orchestra”. It has five parts included – the four KARMA GE’s and a drum track.
Part 1 – Acoustic Piano
Part 2 – String Section
Part 3 – Orchestra Hits
Part 4 – Percussion
Drum Track – Timpani
The first three parts all use the same “Atonal 1” GE, while the other two parts are the rhythm that holds everything together. KARMA has eight different “scenes”, where you can set up different instruments and rhythms on each one. It makes it easy to create an complete arrangement in a combi just from switching from one scene to the next. As you can see in the video, you don’t need to play a lot of notes to create a cool effect. Just hit one or two and let the GE’s do the rest!
Soundtrack Mix for the Kronos will include 64 New Programs and 32 New Combis and will be available February 2012. More info on all our Korg Kronos sounds can be found HERE.
