Recording Preparations for recording

Use the cursor buttons ◄► to select the track whose

program you want to specify. Use the CATEGORY dial

and VALUE dial to choose a program. The procedure is

the same as when assigning a program to each timbre of a

combination. (see page 48)

Tip: You can copy various settings from Programs or

Combinations. (see pages 138, 139 of the Parameter

Guide)

2. Use Status to specify whether each track will play the

internal and/or external sound generator.

Normally when using the KROSS, you will select INT or

BTH.

INT: During playback, the KROSS’s internal tone

generator will play the MIDI data recorded on that track.

When you use the KROSS’s keyboard or controllers, you

will be playing and controlling the track selected by

Track Select.

EXT, EX2, BTH: During playback, the MIDI data

recorded on that track will be transmitted from the MIDI

OUT to play an external sound module. When you use

the KROSS’s keyboard or controllers, MIDI data will be

transmitted to play and control the external sound module

selected by Track Select. The MIDI channel of the

external tone generator must be set to match the MIDI

Channel (S-TRACK> MIDI page) of KROSS tracks that

are set to EXT, EX2 or BTH.

If Status is set to BTH, both the external tone generator

and internal tone generator will be played and controlled.

3. Set the pan and volume of each track.

Press the PAGE+ button to access the SEQ> MIX page.

Use the cursor button ▼ to choose Pan or Volume.

Use the cursor buttons ◄► to select the track whose

settings you want to edit.

Pan sets the pan position of each track, and Vol ume sets

the volume level of each track.

4. Specify the MIDI channel that each MIDI track will

play.

Access the S-TRACK> MIDI page. Press the MENU

button to select S-TRACK. Move to the appropriate page.

Use MIDI Channel to specify the MIDI channel for each

track. Normally you will set the MIDI Channel to a

different channel: 1–16 for each track. Tracks that are set

to the same MIDI channel will sound simultaneously

when you record or play back either of the tracks.

5. Adjust the effect settings.

Use the S-FX ROUTING, S-IFX, and S-MFX pages to

adjust settings in each page.

(see “Effect settings for a combination or song” on

page 70)

6. Set the tempo and time signature.

• To set the tempo, select TEMPO in REALTIME

CONTROLS. To set the tempo, either turn KNOB 1

(TEMPO) or press the SWITCH (TAP) button at the

desired interval.Alternatively, you can select  (Tempo)

in the SEQ> MAIN page (or similar page), and use the

VALUE dial to set the tempo. Set Tempo Mode to

Manual.

• Next

you will set the time signature. In this example,

we’ll explain how to set the time signature using the

“Time Sig (Time Signature)” field. Normally, you

specify the time signature before recording the first track,

and then begin recording.

a) Access the SEQ> REC page.

b) Press the

SEQUENCER (REC) button, and set “Time

Sig (Time Signature)” to **/**.

c) Press **/** to highlight it, and use the VALUE controllers to

set the time signature.

d) Press the SEQUENCER (start/stop) button. to begin

recording. When the pre-count has ended and Locate reaches

001:01.000, press the SEQUENCER (start/stop)

button to stop recording. The time signature you specified has

now been recorded on the Tempo track.

If you press the SEQUENCER (start/stop) button

during the pre-count, the time signature won’t be recorded.

7. Adjust other settings as needed.

Adjust settings for the arpeggiator (S-ARP page) and the

MIDI filter (S-MIDI FILTER page). (see page 76)

If you want, you can make adjustments to the sound by

using the Tone Adjust function (S-LOOP/TONE> TONE

ADJ, EQ ADG pages).

When you’ve finished the above settings, basic setup is

complete.

Saving your song parameter settings

The song parameter settings that you create here can be

saved as a template. If you use these settings frequently, you

can simply load one of the templates you’ve saved.

For details, please see “Save Template Song (Save as User

Template Song)” on page 140 of the Parameter Guide.

Using template songs

Loading a template song is an easy way to create settings

appropriate for a particular musical style. You can also

assign a drum pattern to a track at the same time.

1. In the SEQ> MAIN page, press the FUNCTION

button, choose Load Template Song from the menu,

and press the MENU (OK) button. A dialog box will

appear.

2. In the “From” field, choose the template song you

want to load.

3. If you check “Copy Pattern to Track too?,” a dialog

box for copying a drum track pattern will

automatically appear after you execute the “Load

Template Song” operation.

If you execute the command without checking this, only

the template song you selected in step 2 will be loaded.

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
