Editing Programs From Within A Combination; Or Song - Korg kronos Operation Manual

Playing and editing Combinations
setting, the relationship between notes and drum sounds
will change.
Adjusting the BPM of multisamples or
samples created in Sampling mode
If a timbre's program uses multisamples or samples that you
created in Sampling mode (or loaded in Disk mode) at a
specific BPM value, you can use the page menu command
Detune BPM Adjust to call up a new BPM value. This
changes the BPM by adjusting the playback pitch.
For more information, see "Detune BPM Adjust," on
page 508 of the Parameter Guide.
Use Program's Scale, Scale
This specifies the scale for each timbre. If you check Use
Program's Scale, the scale specified by the program will be
used. Timbres for which this is not checked will use the
Scale setting.
Delay
You can set some Timbres so that they don't sound
immediately at note-on. This can create cool effects, and
more dramatic layers.
You can specify the delay for each Timbre either in
milliseconds (ms), or in rhythmic values which sync to the
system tempo.
If you set the Delay to Key Off, the Timbre will sound when
the note is released.
Editing Programs from within a Combination or Song
If you want to dive in deeper than Tone Adjust allows, you
can also go directly into the editing pages of a Program from
within a Combination or Song—while still hearing all of the
other Timbres or Tracks.
Important: Tone Adjust lets you change the way the
Program sounds in a specific Combination or Song without
affecting the original Program. In contrast, the method
described below changes the original Program, and will
affect any Combinations or Songs which use that Program.
To edit a Program within a Combination or Song:
1. Go to the P0–1: Prog Select/Mixer page in
Combination mode, or the P0–1: MIDI Prog
Select/Mixer page in Sequencer mode.
To edit a Program in context, either:
2. Select any parameter in the column of the Timbre or
Track which contains the Program you'd like to edit,
and then select the Edit Program command from the
menu.
You can select any parameter in the Timbre/Track's column,
including Volume, Pan, Status (Combinations only), and
Program Bank/Number.
Note: this is different from selecting a Timbre or Track via
the Control Surface.
or:
2a.Hold the ENTER button, and then touch the
Program's name in the Timbre or Track.

Editing Programs with Tone Adjust
Using Tone Adjust, you can make detailed edits to Programs
within the context of the Combi. These edits will not affect
the original Program, or any other Combis which use the
Program. To edit a Program with Tone Adjust:
1. Press the TONE ADJ/EQ button under CONTROL
ASSIGN.
The TONE ADJUST LED will light up.
2. Go to the Control Surface tab of the Play page.
This page mirrors the Control Surface. It's very useful with
Tone Adjust, since it shows you the parameter assignments,
exact values, and so on.
3. Select the Timbre whose parameters you'd like to
adjust.
This corresponds to the Timbre selected in
TIMBRE/TRACK mode. You can set this using the Timbre
parameter on the right side of the LCD, or by holding down
the TONE ADJ/EQ button and pressing any of the Control
Panel switches. The top row selects Timbres 1-8, and the
bottom row selects Timbres 9-16.
4. Edit the controls as desired.
In addition to editing the values, you can also change the
assignments of Tone Adjust parameters to the sliders, knobs,
and switches. For more information, see "Using Tone
Adjust" on page 45.
The system will then display the P0 page for the selected
Program. The front-panel PROG button's LED will blink,
and the COMBI or SEQ LED will remain solidly on, to show
that you are editing the Program in context.
3. Edit as desired.
Eventually, if you want to keep your changes, you'll need to
Write the Program. However, while you're working, you can
go back and forth between the edited Program and the
Combination or Song.
You'll notice that some Program pages and tabs will be
grayed out; for more information, see "Parameters
unavailable while editing in context," below.
To return to the Combination or Song:
4. Press the front-panel COMBI or SEQ buttons.
or:
4a.Press the EXIT button until the Program P0 page
appears, and then press EXIT once again.
To go back to editing the Program, just repeat steps 2 or 2a,
above.
The normal rules of editing apply: if you select another
Program, all edits to the previous Program will be lost. So,
make sure to save your work:
5. While on the Program edit pages, use the Write menu
command to save your edits.
Note that you must be on the Program edit pages in order to
Write the Program edits. Writing the Combination or Song
will not affect the Program.
