Is korg kross okay for one man show?

Hi, I'm actually looking for a keyboard that provide drum track to have one man show performance for wedding gig.
I am not a pro keyboardist as i m just a classical pianist and don't have experience in programming.
A lot pf people was advising me to get an arranger for live performance. I tested PA600 and wasn't impressed by the preset drum track. As most of the time i will be playing love ballad and pop songs, i don't see any preset drum track is suitable for that, or maybe, just one.

korg kross attracted me for it's light weight, price, outlook and realistic drum pad sound compare to PA600. What i am trying to ask, because there's no such button as fill in, variation button on kross, am I able to make one by using the 16 registry?
Anyhow I will need to learn to self program the drum pattern for either one of the keyboard since PA600 doesn't provide satisfying preset styles.

I was hoping somebody can tell me that, Kross can create a one man band with accompaniment and drum pattern and going free style like an original artist on stage even without the intro, variations button.

They are right. You should get an arranger keyboard. The Kross has awesome drum loops and sequencer but it is not as good for your type of situation. Everything would have to be sequenced and at that point, pretty much any keyboard would do.
At least the arranger type keyboards have more flexibility.

Actually, the Kross is perfect.

You can load a WAV backing track and simply play piano over it and sing. These are commercially available from a number of sites.

No programming is required.

What part of this did you not understand?

going free style like an original artist on stage

The Kross is NOT GOOD for "free style".
If you want to play a wave, you can use an iPad or iPhone with bluetooth footswitch.
