Playing and editing Programs

Saving your edits

Internally, one controller modifies several parameters.

Saving the program does not save the values of these

controllers; it saves the edited state of the various

parameters.

When the program has been written, the previously edited

values will become the “new” reference values, meaning that

the saved sound will be reproduced when these controllers

are at +00.

Adjusting the volume balance

The sound of a program consists of up to two “oscillators”

that are played mainly from the keyboard, one “Drum

Track” that automatically plays a rhythm section, and one

“step sequencer.”

The volumes of the oscillators and the drum track can be

adjusted in the PROG> MIXER page.

Note: There’s also a “mute function” which individually

silences these, and a “solo function” which mutes all sounds

other than the specified one.

1. Access the PROG> MIXER page.

2. Use the cursor buttons ◄►▲▼ to select the “Vol”

parameters of oscillator 1 or 2, the Drum Track, and

the step sequencer, and adjust their volume.

Note: For single-oscillator programs, oscillator 2 will not

be available for editing.

Note: If the Hold Balance function is selected, changing

any of the volume values will simultaneously affect the other

volume values as well. The overall volume balance will be

preserved. This is convenient when you want to adjust the

overall volume.

Mute

•Select Play/Mute for oscillator 1 or 2, the Drum Track,

or the step sequencer, and press the ENTER button to

change the setting.

Solo

• Select the Solo Setting function and press the MENU

(OK) button to access the dialog box.

Use the cursor buttons ◄►▲▼ to select the item that

you want to solo, and press the ENTER button to turn

solo on/off.

Pressing the PAGE– (CLEAR) button will turn off solo

for all items.

If Exclusive Mode is on, only one item at a time will be

soloed.

To return to the PROG> MIXER page, press the MENU

(DONE) button.

Using REALTIME CONTROLS to adjust

the sound or effects

1. In program category "E.PIANO", select " 018

E.P.Suit Mark V"

This is an electric piano sound. Let's try modifying the

character of the sound.

2. In REALTIME CONTROLS, press the SELECT

button to select TONE 1. (LED lit)

3. While you play, slowly turn the KNOB 1 knob

(CUTOFF) toward the right to about the 3/4 position.

The piano sound becomes more like a synth sweep.

4. Turn the KNOB 2 knob (RESONANCE) to about the

3/4 position as well.

5. Leave the KNOB 2 knob (RESONANCE) where it is,

and try turning the KNOB 1 knob (CUTOFF) left and

right.

Raising the resonance gives the sound a character as

though it was being played through a wah pedal.

6. Next, in REALTIME CONTROLS, press the

SELECT button to select TONE 2. (LED lit)

7. Try adjusting the KNOB 1 knob (ATTACK) or the

KNOB 2 knob (RELEASE). These modify the attack

time or the release time, changing the character of the

sound.

8. If you want to save the sound that you edited, execute

"Write Program" to save the edited sound.

Saving the edited content does not save the angle of the

knobs; it saves the edited state of the various parameters.

When the data has been written, the previously edited values

will become the "new" reference values, meaning that the

saved sound will be reproduced when the knobs are at the

center position. (see page 308 of the Parameter Guide)

Comparing the unedited sound

Using COMPARE

When you’re in the process of editing a sound, pressing the

COMPARE button will recall the last saved version of the

sound, as it was before you started editing.

For details, please see “Compare/Undo function” on

page 13.

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
