Korg KR-11 Trummaskin/groovebox

This compact yet feature-packed drum machine is easy to transport and adds variety to your music. The KR-11 builds on the legacy of the legendary KORG Doncamatic from 1963, bringing it into the modern age.

Numerous Rhythmic Patterns for All Genres

The KR-11 offers a wide variety of rhythmic patterns across various genres. You can edit existing patterns or create your own from scratch, with 14 user memory slots available. Intuitive and user-friendly instructions make it easy to select a genre and pattern, and then simply press the "Play" button to start.

16 Dynamically Sensitive Pads and Various Drum Sounds for Finger Drumming

The KR-11 features 16 dynamically sensitive pads and a variety of drum sounds for finger drumming. Optional footswitches allow you to switch between different patterns, as well as trigger fill-ins, start, and stop commands with your feet.

Headphone/Line Output for Connecting to External Audio Devices

The KR-11 has a headphone/line output for connecting to external audio devices such as PA systems, mixers, or guitar amplifiers. This makes it easy to integrate the KR-11 into your live setup or recording rig.

Newly Developed Speaker System with Acoustage Bass Technology

The KR-11 features a newly developed speaker system that delivers powerful and natural-sounding drum and percussion sounds. The Acoustage Bass technology enhances the bass reproduction, providing surprisingly authentic bass drum sounds even from a compact unit.

Simple Rhythmic Accompaniment - Anytime, Anywhere!

Simply choose your favorite genre and get started! Each genre includes 14 individual variations, for a total of 126 different rhythmic patterns. In addition, there are 14 memory slots for your own rhythms, allowing you to customize the KR-11 to your needs.

The KR-11 can be powered by batteries and is both lightweight and compact. The built-in speaker allows you to immediately play along with a huge selection of rhythmic phrases. In addition to basic patterns such as 8-beat and 16-beat, the KR-11 also offers more specific styles, such as "Blues/R&B" and "Country" for guitarists, as well as "Island," a rhythm specially programmed for ukulele players. In addition to common 3/4 rhythms, the KR-11 also includes less common rhythms such as 5/4 and 7/8. The "Swing" function can be used to add a human feel to the grooves.

Expand Your Possibilities During Practice and on Stage

In pattern playback mode, optional footswitches allow for seamless switching between different patterns, starting and stopping the current pattern, and inserting transitions with your feet, so you don't have to take your hands off your instrument to control the rhythm.

In pad playback mode, these footswitches can be used to play additional drum sounds, such as bass drum and hi-hat (assigned by default).

The KR-11 can also be connected to a PA, mixer, or other devices via the integrated headphone/line output, allowing you to play rhythms through a larger sound system. For example, connecting the KR-11 to a guitar amplifier is particularly easy.

Finger Drumming in Pad Play Mode

Various drum sounds, such as bass drum, snare, hi-hat, and cymbals, are assigned to the 16 pads of the instrument. These pads are ideal for spontaneous finger drumming. The dynamic response ensures that the sounds respond to the strength of your hits, allowing you to create extremely realistic-sounding drum patterns.

You can also save your pad playing to dedicated user memory slots and recall them at any time.

Thanks to its compact size, battery power, and integrated speaker, the KR-11 is easy to use on the go, outdoors, and virtually anywhere.

Powerful Sound Thanks to the Newly Developed Speaker System

The newly developed speaker system is compact and powerful, while providing natural-sounding reproduction of internal drum and percussion sounds. Acoustage Bass technology also delivers surprisingly authentic bass drum sounds.
