When editing sounds, or when setting up a Song in
Sequencer mode, you can access the main outputs by setting
Bus Select to L/R.
If no cable is connected to the R output, L/MONO will carry
a mono summation of the stereo signal. So, if you are
connecting to a device which does not have stereo inputs
(such as a simple keyboard amp), use the L/MONO output.
(INDIVIDUAL) 1…4
These 4 additional audio outputs let you isolate sounds,
audio inputs, or audio tracks for recording or complex live
sound setups.
These can be used as stereo or mono outputs, in any
combination. You can also use the Global Audio page LR
Bus Indiv. Assign parameter to map the main stereo outputs
to any of these output pairs, if you like.
Note that the individual outputs are not affected by the
MAIN VOLUME knob.
6. MIDI
MIDI lets you connect KRONOS to computers or other
MIDI devices, for sending and receiving notes, controller
gestures, sound settings, and so on. For more information on
MIDI connections, please see “MIDI applications” on
page 1143 of the Parameter Guide.
MIDI THRU connector
MIDI data received at the MIDI IN connector is re-
transmitted without change from the MIDI THRU connector.
You can use this to chain multiple MIDI devices together.
MIDI OUT connector
This connector transmits MIDI data. Use this to control
external MIDI devices, or to record into an external
sequencer.
MIDI IN connector
This connector receives MIDI data. Use this to play the
KRONOS from another MIDI device, or from an external
sequencer.
7. S/P DIF IN & OUT
These jacks provide 24-bit, 48kHz optical S/P DIF input and
output, for connecting to computer audio systems, digital
mixers, etc.
Optical S/P DIF is sometimes called TOSLINK, and
formally named (hold your breath!) IEC60958, EIAJ CP-
1201. Make sure to use optical cables designed for digital
audio.
Whenever you use digital audio connections, make sure that
all connected systems are set so that there is one and only
one word clock master. You can set the word clock for the
KRONOS using the Global page System Clock parameter.
For more information, see “System Clock” on page 766 of
the Parameter Guide.
OUT(MAIN) jack
This optical S/P DIF output carries a digital version of the
main L/R outputs.
Note that the MAIN VOLUME knob does not adjust the
S/P DIF output level.
IN jack
You can use this optical S/P DIF input for recording,
sampling, and real-time mixing through the built-in effects.
It can be used simultaneously with the analog and USB
audio inputs, if you like.
8. Pedals
DAMPER jack
For the damper–also known as the sustain pedal– you can
connect either a standard footswitch, or Korg’s special half-
damper pedal, the optional DS-1H.
The DS-1H is a continuous pedal designed specifically for
piano-style damper control, with the look and feel of an
acoustic piano’s sustain pedal. It allows more subtle control
of the damper than a simple switch; the further down you
press the pedal, the more that the sound sustains. For more
information, see “Half-Damper Pedal and Release Time” on
page 45 of the Parameter Guide.
You can also connect a simple footswitch, which will work
as a standard on/off damper pedal.
In order to ensure that the pedal functions correctly, please
adjust the switch polarity (see “Damper Polarity” on
page 792 of the Parameter Guide) and the half-damper
sensitivity (see “Half Damper Calibration” on page 817 of
the Parameter Guide).
ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack
This lets you connect a simple on/off footswitch, such as the
optional Korg PS-1. The footswitch can perform a wide
variety of functions, such as modulating sounds and effects,
tap tempo, sequencer start/stop, etc.
The switch’s function is set in Global mode (on the
Controllers tab of the Controllers/Scales page), so that it
always works the same regardless of the current Program,
Combi, or Song. For more information, please see “Setting
up the Assignable Switch and Pedal” on page 181.
ASSIGNABLE PEDAL jack
This lets you connect a continuous controller pedal, such as
the Korg EXP-2 foot controller or Korg XVP-10 EXP/VOL
pedal, to use as an assignable modulation source.
Like the ASSIGNABLE SWITCH, the pedal’s function is
set in Global mode. For more information, please see
“Setting up the Assignable Switch and Pedal” on page 181.
