Playing and editing Programs

Program categories and numbers

The sounds of the KROSS are organized by type into

categories; within each category, an index number is

assigned to each sound. All programs are also assigned a

bank and program number that are used to recall that

program via MIDI.

Note: Depending on the bank, there are limitations on where

a program can be saved. For details, please see “Bank

numbers and conditions for saving” on page 121.

Category and index number

Index number

With the factory settings, the 768 preload programs of banks

A–F, the 256 GM2 preset programs of the GM banks (GM–

g(d)), and the 9 GM2 preset drum programs are organized

into the PIANO–DRUM/SFX categories. Within each

category, the programs are assigned an index number

starting with 000.

The 512 initialized programs of bank UA000...UD127 are

assigned to the USER category.

Category

Program sounds are organized into the 12 categories listed in

the table above. A program category icon is shown in the

upper left of the display. The [USER] category icon is shown

to the left of the PIANO–DRUM/SFX icon.

Bank number

The bank number indication shows the number used for

MIDI transmission and reception. Since the conditions for

saving will differ depending on the bank, this provides a

helpful guide. For more about banks, please see “Bank

numbers and conditions for saving” on page 121.

For the programs in banks GM–g(d), a [GM] icon is shown

at the left of the PIANO–DRUM/IFX icon mentioned earlier.

For details on programs, please see the separate “Voice

Name List.”

SW (Switch assignment) information

In the PROG> MAIN page you can see the following

information above the selected program.

SW1, SW2: Indicate the functions that are assigned to the

SW1 and SW2 buttons.

Using Controllers

In addition to using the keyboard, the KROSS lets you

control the sound by using the pitch bend wheel, modulation

wheel, SW1 and SW2 buttons, damper pedal, and foot

switch or foot pedal.

These controls let you modify the tone, pitch, volume,

effects, etc. in realtime as you play.

• Pitch bend wheel, modulation wheel, SW1, SW2 buttons

→ p.1

• Damper pedal, foot switch/pedal → p.23

• REALTIME CONTROLS → p.15

Performing with the arpeggiator,

drum track or step sequencer

Based on the note data that it receives from the keyboard or

from the MIDI IN connector, the arpeggiator can generate an

arpeggio (broken chord), or produce a wide variety of

phrases and patterns that are appropriate for the sound of the

selected program, such as guitar or keyboard backing riffs,

bass phrases, or drum patterns.

For more about the arpeggiator, please see page 73.

The Drum Track is a function that plays drum patterns in a

variety of styles. For more about the Drum Track, please see

page 83.

The step sequencer is a function that lets you create and play

drum patterns in a way that’s similar to the Drum Track.

While the Drum Track lets you select preset patterns, the

step sequencer lets you create patterns from scratch. You can

create and play drum patterns by turning on/off pads 1–16,

which are located to the right side of the front panel. For

more about the step sequencer, please see page 89.

The Drum Track and the step sequencer each produce sound

using a drum program that is separate from the program that

you play on the keyboard. You can play a program along

with an accompaniment provided by the Drum Track and the

step sequencer.

Arpeggiated phrases, the Drum Track, and the step

sequencer pattern can all be synchronized, and you can also

play along with them.

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
