Setup

Using a foot switch to select Programs

You can select programs by using a foot switch connected to

the ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack. By assigning the

appropriate function, you can increment or decrement the

program number in steps of one.

This lets you change Programs without using your hands–

which is great for quick Program changes in live

performance situations.

There are two ways of doing this: by assigning the foot

switch to Program Up/Down, or to Value Inc/Dec. Each of

these is suited to a particular application, as described below.

• Program Up/Down: When performing with the usual

MAIN page or the favorites list open

• VALUE Inc/Dec: When performing with the sound

select list open

Assigning the foot switch to Program Up/Down

Assigning the foot switch to Program Up or Program Down

lets you directly control Program changes from the foot

switch. For most situations, this is the more straightforward

method.

To set this up:

1. Connect a foot switch to the rear-panel

ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack.

Use an optional PS-1/PS-3 pedal switch.

2. Access the G-INPUT/CTRL> FOOT page.

Proceed as follows.

Hold down the EXIT button ( ) and press the

SEQ button ( ) to enter the GLOBAL/MEDIA

mode.

Press the MENU button to access the function list. Use

the PAGE+ (▼) and PAGE– (▲) buttons to select G-

INPUT/CTRL, and press the MENU (OK) button.

Use the PAGE+ (▼) and PAGE– (▲) buttons to select

the G-INPUT/CTRL> Foot page, and press the MENU

(OK) button.

3. Set “Foot Switch Assign” to either Program Up or

Program Down.

If you choose Program Up, the next program number up

will be selected each time you press the foot switch.

If you choose Program Down, the next program number

down will be selected each time you press the foot

switch.

Use the cursor ▲▼ buttons to select Foot Switch Assign.

Press the ENTER button to access the list, and use the

cursor ▲▼ buttons to select Program Up or Program

Down. Press the ENTER button to confirm your choice.

4. Set the “Foot Switch Polarity” to match the polarity of

the pedal you’ve connected.

If you’ve connected the optional PS-1 or PS-3 pedal,

choose (–) KORG Standard. Use the cursor ▼ button to

select the parameter, and press the ENTER button. The

setting will alternate on/off each time you press the

button.

Now, the foot switch will step through the Programs, one

by one.

5. If you want to preserve this setting even when the

power is turned off, be sure to Write the data. (see

page 124)

6. Press the PROG button to enter PROG> MAIN, and

press the foot switch to change the Program.

Note: This setting also works in the same way for selecting

combinations or favorites.

Note: With the Program Up/Down method, you can’t switch

programs while the sound select list is open. Use the method

explained below in “Assigning the foot switch to Value Inc/

Dec”.

Assigning the foot switch to Value Inc/Dec

This lets you use the Assignable Foot Switch to duplicate the

functions of the VALUE dial.

This method is convenient if you want to open the Sound

select list and switch programs while viewing the program or

combination menu.

1. Follow steps 1–2 under “Assigning the foot switch to

Program Up/Down,” above.

2. At the top of the page, set the Foot Switch Assign

parameter to Value Inc (or Value Dec).

3. Now, the foot switch will act just like you’re turning

the VALUE dial.

Note: The foot switch will work like this for the entire

KROSS–not just when the Sound select list is open.

Connecting a foot pedal

If you connect an optional EXP-2 foot controller or XVP-10/

XVP-20 expression/volume pedal to the ASSIGNABLE

PEDAL jack, you can use it to apply modulation to sounds

or effects, or to adjust the overall volume.

This pedal will always function in the same way regardless

of the Program, Combination, or Song you’ve selected. You

can assign the function in the Global/Media mode.

Like the Assignable Foot Switch, described above, the Foot

Pedal can be used for many different functions, including:

• Master Volume

• Channel Volume, Pan, or Expression

• Assignable sound modulation, as several different AMS

or Dmod sources

• Effects Send level control

• Use various KROSS controls (Modulation wheel, etc.)

1. Connect an optional XVP-10, XVP-20 or EXP-2 to the

ASSIGNABLE PEDAL jacks.

2. Use the Foot Pedal Assign parameter (G-INPUT/

CTRL> FOOT page) to specify the function that will

be controlled by the foot pedal.

Adjust settings as explained in “Assigning the foot switch

to Program Up/Down”.

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
