Playing and editing Combinations

As an additional possibility, you can set the slope for a key

zone or velocity zone so that the volume diminishes

gradually. This lets you change a split into a keyboard

crossfade, or a velocity switch into a velocity crossfade.

Creating Splits and Layers

Splits and Layers

Let’s create a Combination that combines both splits and

layers, like the diagram below:

1. Access the COMBI> PROG page.

2. Select a piano sound for Timbre 1, a brass sound for

Timbre 2, and a string sound for Timbre 3.

3. For timbres 1–3, set Status to INT.

4. Access the C-TIMBRE MIDI page.

5. For timbres 1–3, set the MIDI Channel to Gch (Global

channel).

6. Access the C-ZONE/DELAY> KEY ZONE page.

7. For timbre 1, set “Top Key” to G9 and Bottom Key to

C4.

You can also enter a note value by moving the cursor to

the parameter in the display, then holding down the

ENTER button and pressing a note on the keyboard.

8. For timbre 2 and timbre 3, set the Top Key to B3 and

the Bottom Key to C-1.

Key Zone Slope

In addition to “hard” splits, where the sound changes

abruptly, you can use the Slope parameters to gradually fade

a sound in or out over a range of keys.

We’ll make some changes to the example shown above.

1. In the example above, you could set the Bottom Key of

timbre 1 to G3, and set the Top Key of timbre 2 to G4,

so that these two timbres overlap.

2. Next, if you set the Bottom Slope of timbre 1 to 12, and

set the Top Slope of timbre 2 to 12, the sound will

change gradually instead of changing suddenly.

Creating Velocity Switches

Next, let’s create a simple velocity switched Combination,

like the diagram below:

1. Access the COMBI> PROG page.

2. Select a brass sound for Timbre 1, and a string sound

for Timbre 2.

3. For timbres 1 and 2, set the Status to INT.

4. Access the C-TIMBRE MIDI page.

5. For timbres 1 and 2, set the MIDI Channel to Gch

(Global MIDI channel).

6. Access the C-ZONE/DELAY> VEL ZONE page.

7. For timbre 1, set the Top Velocity to 127 and the

Bottom Velocity to 64.

You can also enter a velocity value by moving the cursor

to the parameter in the display, then holding down the

ENTER button and playing a note on the keyboard.

8. For timbre 2, set the Top Velocity to 63 and Bottom

Velocity to 1.

Velocity Zone Slope

Similar to Key Zone Slopes, as described above, these let

you fade sounds in and out gradually over a velocity range,

instead of a simple hard switch.

We’ll make some changes to the example shown above.

1. Set the velocity zones of the two timbres so that they

partially overlap.

2. Set the Top Slope and Bottom Slope so that the sound

changes gradually, rather than abruptly between

velocity values 63 and 64.

Program A

Program B

Keyboard X-Fade (keyboard

crossfade):

As you play from low notes to

high notes, the volume of A

will fade out, and the volume

of B will fade in.

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
