About the KROSS’s modes

The KROSS has four modes

The KROSS has numerous functions that let you play and edit

programs or combinations, record and play back sequence data,

and manage media. These functions are grouped into “

.”

The KROSS has four modes.

Program mode

Programs are the basic sounds of KROSS.

In Program mode, you can:

• Select and play Programs.

• Use one arpeggiator in your performance.

• Play back Drum Track patterns while you perform using

a Program.

• You can use the step sequencer to easily create drum

loop patterns. You can play a program while a drum

pattern plays back. You can also perform simultaneously

with the arpeggiator and drum track.

• Edit Programs

You can use the Tone Adjust function to easily edit the

program.

You can use the quick layer/split function to easily layer

two programs or create split sounds.

You can adjust the parameters and settings of the

oscillators, filters, amps, EGs, LFOs, effects, arpeggiator,

drum track, etc.

You can use up to five insert effects, and two master

effects.

Plus, you can create drum programs using drum kits (as

created in Global/Media mode).

Combination mode

Combinations are sets of up to 16 programs that can be played

simultaneously, letting you create sounds that are more complex

than a single Program. In Combination mode, you can:

by two arpeggiators.

a drum pattern while you perform.

patterns. You can play a combination while a drum

pattern plays back. You can also perform simultaneously

with the arpeggiator and drum track.

• Use the KROSS as a 16-track multi-timbral tone

generator.

• Edit Combinations

You can use the tone adjust function to easily edit the

program of each timbre.

You can assign Programs to each of the 16 Timbres, each

with separate volume, pan, and keyboard and velocity

zones; adjust settings for effects, arpeggiator, drum track,

step sequencer.

Plus, you can use up to five insert effects, and two master

effects.

many as all sixteen tracks simultaneously. You can also

record system exclusive messages.

performances generated by two arpeggiators.

or record a drum pattern.

module.

of each track.

Here is where you can save/load data on an SD card. You can also

adjust overall settings for the entire KROSS, and edit drum kits

and arpeggio patterns.

Other functions

In addition to its four modes, the KROSS provides various

functions that are convenient for performance and practice: audio

recorder, pad audio play, pad sampler, and favorites.

AUDIO RECORDER

There's an independent audio recorder that can record an audio

signal from an external mic or line input, or USB audio input, or

the audio of the program, combination, or sequencer

playback.The sequencer and audio recorder are not able to

synchronize. (see page 99)

PAD AUDIO PLAY

Using this function, audio songs that you recorded or audio files

that were imported from an external source can be assigned to the

pads and recalled easily for playback.

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
