Setup; Turning The Power On/Off - Korg kronos Operation Manual

Introduction to KRONOS

Setup

Turning the power on/off

1. Connecting the power cable
1. Set the KRONOS's rear-panel POWER switch to the
off position.
2. Connect the included power cable to the KRONOS'
rear panel AC power inlet.
3. Connect the other end of the power cable to the AC
power outlet.
If your power cable uses a separate ground wire, you
must connect this ground wire before inserting the plug
into the AC outlet. When disconnecting, you must first
disconnect the plug before you disconnect the ground
wire. If you are unsure of how to make connections,
please contact your Korg Distributor.
Make sure that your AC outlet is the correct voltage for
your instrument.
2. Turning the power on
1. Press the rear panel POWER switch to turn on the
power.
2. Turn on your powered monitors or stereo amp.
3. Turn the KRONOS's MAIN VOLUME knob
clockwise to an appropriate level, and adjust the
volume of your powered monitors or stereo amp.
After you've turned off the power, you must wait
approximately ten seconds before turning the power on
again.
Tip: You can set the Power On Mode (Global P0: Basic
Setup page) so that the mode and page that had been selected
when you turned the power off will appear when the power
is turned on.
For more information, see "Recalling the last-selected mode
and page at power-on" on page 169.
3. Turning the power off
When you turn off the power, the programs and
combinations etc. will revert to their unedited state. If you
want to keep your edits, you'll need to Write them. For
more information, see "Saving data" on page 191.
Similarly, Songs and user multisamples and samples will
disappear when you turn off the power. If you want to use
these songs, user multisamples, and samples the next time
you turn on the power, you'll need to load them again.
1. Set the front panel MAIN VOLUME knob and the
volume of your powered monitor or stereo amp to
zero.
2. Turn off the power of your powered monitor or stereo
amp.
3. Press the KRONOS's POWER switch to turn off the
power.

Never turn off the power while data is being written into
internal memory. The display will show the message
"Now writing into internal memory" when this is in
progress.
Never turn off the power while media such as the internal
drive is being accessed, such as while recording or
playing audio tracks, or sampling to disk for an
extended time. Turning off the power while disk access
is occurring may render the media unusable. The DISK
LED shows when the internal drive is being accessed.
Auto Power-Off
The KRONOS can be set to automatically turn off the power
when the system has not been active for a certain length of
time. "Activity" includes using the TouchView display and
most front panel controls, playing sounds, sending or
receiving MIDI, local or ftp disk activity, etc. It does not
include usage of the MASTER VOLUME or AUDIO
INPUT knobs or the MIC/LINE buttons, however.
When the power turns off, any un-saved edits or settings
will be lost. Make sure that you save important settings
before this occurs.
You can control the amount of time before the system turns
off, or disable Auto Power-Off entirely. To do so:
1. Go to the Global P0: Basic Setup page.
2. In the menu, select the Auto Power Off Setting...
command.
The dialog box below will appear.
3. Press the "Auto Power-off" popup button to select the
length of idle time after which the power will turn off.
If you don't want the power to turn off automatically,
set this to Disabled.
4 hours is the default.
You can also reach this dialog box from the two warning
dialogs associated with Auto Power-Off, as described below.
Changing the Auto Power-off setting at startup
If Auto Power-off is enabled, a dialog box indicating the
time until automatic power-off will appear immediately after
start-up.
The dialog box will close automatically after a few seconds.
The hourglass icon shows how much time is left before it
closes. If you touch this icon, the hourglass will pause
(shown by a red "X") and the dialog box will remain open.
To close the dialog box, press the Change Setting or OK
buttons, or simply wait for the hourglass to complete.
