Arpeggiator function

Using the arpeggiator while

you play

The arpeggiator is a function that automatically generates

arpeggios (patterns of individual notes derived from a

chord). Most arpeggiators produce an arpeggio when you

play a chord on the keyboard.

The KROSS’s arpeggiator is also polyphonic, and can

produce a variety of chordal transformations or phrases

based on the pitch or timing of the notes you play on the

keyboard. These functions let you use the arpeggiator to play

a wide range of patterns including drum or bass phrases, and

guitar or keyboard backing riffs. It is also effective to use the

arpeggiator as part of the sound-design process when

creating subtly-moving pads, synth-sounds, or sound effects.

The KROSS’s Dual Arpeggiator feature lets you use two

simultaneous arpeggio patterns in Combination mode, and

Sequencer mode. You can take advantage of this in many

ways, including a separate arpeggio pattern for a drum

program, and another applied to a bass program, or using a

keyboard split or velocity to switch between two arpeggio

patterns.

The KROSS provides five preset arpeggio patterns: the

standard UP, DOWN, ALT1, ALT2, and RANDOM. You

can also create and store 1,028 of your own user patterns.

The factory settings contain a wide variety of arpeggio

patterns stored in these user locations. (see page 78)

Using the arpeggiator in Program

mode

Turning the arpeggiator on/off

1. Press the PROG button to enter Program mode, and

select a program. For details, please see “Selecting

Programs” on page 27.

2. Press ARP button (the LED will light up) to turn on

the arpeggiator.

3. When you play the keyboard, the selected arpeggio

pattern will start playing.

4. Press the ARP button once again to turn off the

arpeggiator (the button will be unlit).

If it had been playing, it will stop.

Note: The on/off status is saved when you write the

program.

Changing the tempo

• In REALTIME CONTROLS, select TEMPO and use the

KNOB 1 knob (TEMPO) or the SWITCH button (TAP)

to adjust the tempo.

The tempo can be adjusted in the range 040.00-300.00.

The SWITCH button LED blinks at quarter-note ()

intervals.

Note: The tempo setting is also saved when you write a

program.

Note: The arpeggio playback speed is affected by the

Resolution (PROG> ARP page or P-ARP> SETUP page).

Note: In the P-INPUT/CTRL> CONTROLLERS page you

can use the VALUE dial or the cursor buttons to edit the

setting.

Tip: You can synchronize the tempo with an external MIDI

device. (see page 117)

If the KROSS is set to synchronize with an external

device, you can’t adjust the tempo on the KROSS itself.

Arpeggiator control (MOD)

You can control the duration, strength, and rhythmic feel of

the arpeggiated notes.

1. Access the PROG> ARP page.

Use the PAGE+ button (or PAGE− button) to select the

page.

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

following parameters to edit.

3. Use the VALUE dial etc. to edit the value.

The chord you played on the

keyboard is sounded as an

arpeggio (broken chord)

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
