Playing and editing Programs

Detailed Editing with Programs

You can create original sounds by editing a preloaded

program or by editing an initialized program.

For details, please see “Saving your edits” on page 33.

Before you start editing

The three elements of sound: pitch, tone,

and volume

Sound is made up of three basic elements: pitch, tone, and

volume.

The KROSS provides “pitch,” “filter,” and “amp

(amplifier)” sections that allow you to control these

elements.

The “pitch” section modifies the pitch, the “filter” section

modifies the tone, and the “amp” section modifies the

volume.

Pitch settings are made in the P-PITCH and P-PITCH EG

pages; filter settings are made in the P-FILTER and P-

FILTER EG pages; amp settings are made in the P-AMP and

P-AMP EG pages.

EG, LFO, AMS, and controllers

In addition to the three elements listed above, a sound can

vary according to the passage of time, the pitch range in

which it’s played, or by performance expressions.

Such aspects can be controlled by modulators and

controllers such as the EG (envelope generator), LFO (low

frequency oscillator), and the modulation wheel. These

modulators and controllers can apply changes to the basic

program.

Take a look at the illustration below called “Program

structure.” Notice that the signal flow is in the order of

Oscillator/Pitch, Filter, Amp. You can see how the EGs and

LFOs affect each section.

As shown in the illustration, each program consists of

sections such as OSC 1/2, effects, and the arpeggiator.

OSC (oscillator) 1/2

The OSC (oscillator) generates the waveform that is the

basis of the sound. On the KROSS, the oscillator consists of

multiple sampled sounds, such as a multisample or a drum

kit (drumsamples).

The KROSS provides two oscillators; OSC1 and OSC2. You

can create more complex programs by combining these.

The OSC, which is the basis of the sound, can be controlled

by modulating its pitch, filter, amp, EG, and LFO to change

the sound in a wide range of ways.

Note: Pitch EG is shared by OSC1 and OSC2.

Effects

As effects, you can use five insert effects, and two master

effects.

The output of OSC 1/2 is sent to these effect processors. By

choosing the desired effect for each processor and editing its

parameters, you can apply a wide range of effects such as

modulation, distortion, and reverberation.

Arpeggiator

A program can use one arpeggiator. You can select an

arpeggio pattern, specify the range that the pattern will be

developed within, and specify the range of notes or

velocities that will trigger the arpeggiator.

Drum Track and step sequencer

While the arpeggiator plays the main program, separate

drum programs are provided for the Drum Track and the step

sequencer.

The Drum Track lets you select a drum program and pattern,

and specify how it will be triggered.

The step sequencer lets you select the instrument that the

drum program will use, and lets you specify a pattern by

using pads 1–16.

Program structure

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
