Songs - Korg kronos Operation Manual

Appendices
EXi programs don't play correctly in a
Combination.
Does the Timbre's number have a gray background color,
instead of blue? And, does [Inactive] appear after the
Program name in the Selected Timbre Info?
• The Programs in the Combination are asking for more
than the maximum available EXi fixed resources.
Remove one or more of the EXi Programs which uses
fixed resources.
For more information, see "CX-3 & other EXi:
Limitations on EXi fixed resources" on page 424 of the
Parameter Guide.
Combination does not play correctly
after loading from disk
In the dialog box when you saved the data, did you check the
items that you wanted to save?
Are the bank/numbers of the programs used by the
combination the same as when the combination was created?
• If you have switched program banks, you can use the
Change all bank references menu command to change
the program bank for each timbre of a combination. For
more information, see "Change all bank references" on
page 806 of the Parameter Guide.

Songs

Song does not play correctly after being
loaded
In the dialog box when you saved the data, did you check all
of the items that you wanted to save?
Are the Programs used by the Song the same as when the
song was created?
• If you have switched Program banks, you can use the
page menu command Change all bank references to
change the Program bank for each track of a Song. For
more information, see "Change all bank references" on
page 806 of the Parameter Guide.
• When saving the song, it is best to use Save All or Save
PCG & SEQ so that the programs are saved together
with the song. Then when loading, load both the .PCG
and the .SEQ data.
Have you loaded the multisamples and samples used by the
program?
Audio tracks don't play
The audio files for the Song must be stored within a
directory at the same directory level as the .SNG file, and
that directory must be have the same name as the .SNG file ,
followed by "_A" (for "Audio"). For instance, if the .SNG
file is named WAMOZART.SNG, its audio folder must be
named WAMOZART_A. If you move or rename the .SNG
file, make sure to move or rename the main audio folder as
well.

Can't write a Program
You can't write HD-1 Programs into an EXi bank, or EXi
Programs into an HD-1 bank. If desired, you can use the
Global mode page menu command Set Program Bank
Type to change the type of each bank, so that it will
accommodate the desired type of Programs. For more
information, see "Changing the Program Bank Types" on
page 31.
Samples don't play from the correct keys
Is Portamento enabled? When Portamento glides between
two notes which are mapped to different samples, the system
always plays the higher sample and then glides to the target
pitch. If a Multisample contains distinct samples mapped to
different key ranges—for instance, loops or sound effects—
this can produce unexpected results.
• To prevent this from occurring, turn off Portamento.
Pads don't play chords
Is Chord Mode enabled? When Chord Mode is enabled,
the on-screen pads (or MIDI input controlling the pads) will
select chords to be triggered from the keyboard, as opposed
to playing the chords directly.
• To prevent this from occurring, turn off Chord Mode for
the Program, Combination Timbres, or Song Tracks.
If the folder containing the WAVE files for the song you
loaded has the wrong name, the icon is shown in gray. Could
you have moved or renamed the folder?
Loading OASYS-format Songs
The KRONOS can play Songs created on the Korg OASYS.
However, the name of the audio directory will need to be
changed slightly.
OASYS files were limited to 8 characters, and so the name
of the audio file directory was typically abbreviated. For
instance, if the .SNG file was named WAMOZART.SNG, the
OASYS audio folder would be named WAMOZA_A.
Before you load an OASYS .SNG file, edit the name of the
directory so that it matches the KRONOS standard: the same
name as the .SNG file , followed by "_A" (for "Audio"). In
the case above, you'd rename "WAMOZA_A" to
"WAMOZART_A."
Playback does not start when you press
the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch
Is the MIDI Clock (Global P1: MIDI) set to Internal or
Auto?
Can't record in Sequencer mode
Did you use Track Select to select the MIDI track or audio
track that you want to record?
Is the Memory Protect Song check box (Global P0)
unchecked?
