Using Drum Kits

Drum Kit Overview

What’s a Drum Kit?

A drum kit is a collection of drumsamples (drum set sounds

such as bass drum, snare, or cymbals, as well as a wide

variety of other percussion sounds), with each sample

assigned to a note of the keyboard.

• Each key can play a different sound

• On each key, you can use up to four Drumsamples, with

velocity crossfades

• Each key has separate settings for the most important

sound parameters, including volume, filter cutoff and

resonance, envelope attack and decay, and pitch.

• Each note can be routed to different Insert Effects, or

have separate FX Send amounts. For instance, you can

send a snare sound through a dedicated compressor.

You can use Drum Kits only in Programs whose Oscillator

Mode is set to Drums.

Drum Kit memory structure

The KROSS has 67 Drum Kits, divided into Internal, User,

and GM (General MIDI) groups as shown below. You can

edit or write into any of the locations except for the GM

bank, which cannot be erased.

Drum Kit contents

The 9 Drum Kits in the GM bank are compatible with the

GM2 sound map. The other Drum Kits may use different

mappings, where appropriate.

Using a drum kit in a program (Oscillator

Mode)

In Program mode page P-BASIC>VOICE, set Oscillator

Mode to Drums, and then select the drum kit that will be

used by the oscillator.

Before you start editing…

Selecting a drum program

Drum Kits are edited in Global/Media mode. While you’re

in Global/Media mode, you’ll play the kit that you’re editing

as if you were playing it from within the Program, Combi, or

Song which was selected before you entered Global/Media

mode.

So, before you enter Global/Media mode, it’s best to select a

Program which is already set up for drums, with the

appropriate EG settings, effects, and so on.

In Program mode, you should select a drum program from

the DRUM/SFX category.

Matching the key of the keyboard with the

Drum Kit

In order for the note mappings to match the keyboard, the

Oscillator’s Octave setting needs to be +0 [8']. All Drum Kit

Programs should have this setting already. If you’re unsure,

you can check this yourself:

1. Go to the OSC1 Setup tab of the P-OSC> DKit page.

With a setting other than +0 [8'], the relationship between

the keys and the Drum Kit sound map will be incorrect.

2. Set the GLOBAL> BASIC parameter “Key

Transpose” to +00.

Make sure that Memory Protect is disabled

Before you start editing, go to the GLOBAL> SYSTEM

page, and look in the Memory Protect section. Make sure

that Drum Kit is not checked–if so, you won’t be able to

make any edits.

Drum Kits may be used by more than one

Program

When you edit a Drum Kit, all Programs that use that Drum

Kit will be affected. To avoid changing the factory voicing,

you may wish to copy Drum Kits to empty locations in the

USER banks before editing.

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
