Playing and editing Combinations

About the KROSS's combinations
Combinations let you split and layer up to 16 Programs at
once.
A Combination is made up of 16 Timbres (Note that you
don't have to use all 16 Timbres). Each Timbre is assigned a
Program, along with parameters for key range and velocity
zones, mixer settings, MIDI channel and controller filtering,
and so on.
This section of the manual takes a quick look at playing
Combinations, including a tour of the front-panel controllers
and basic editing techniques.
