Introduction to the KROSS

toward yourself, the effect will be zero. The modulation wheel

will stay in its position when you release it, and the effect will

continue.

The function that is controlled by the wheel is assigned by the

program parameters or effect parameters. Although different

effects are assigned for different programs and combinations, a

vibrato effect which cyclically varies the pitch is typically

assigned to the modulation wheel.

3. VOLUME knob

This knob adjusts the volume of the OUTPUT L/MONO, R

outputs, as well as the volume of the headphone jack. (see

page 17)

4. ARP (Arpeggiator) button

This button turns the arpeggiator on/off. The button will be lit up

if the arpeggiator is on. (see page 73)

5. DRUM TRACK button

This button turns the Drum Track function on or off. This button

also indicates the operating state of the drum track.

Unlit: off, Blinking: waiting for trigger, Lit: on (see page 83)

6. REALTIME CONTROLS

When you're playing a program or combination,you can use these

to adjust the sound or the effects, or to make simple edits. Here

you can also turn the external audio input on/off, adjust the

vocoder function, and adjust the tempo of the arpeggiator or

sequencer.

For details on operating each parameter and on saving your

changes, see PG p.311.

functions. The TAP LED blinks according to the tempo setting.

and 2 knobs is preserved. However, be aware that if you re-select

the program etc., the program-related knob values are reset to the

center position.

During last night's gig, my Kross 2 started changing "Favorites" - one after the other - switching through the banks and sounds, while I was playing. What could cause that. It didn't do it all the time, just every now and then at random. Submitted on 4-9-2022 at 00:59
