Sequencer

Recording

The sequencer of the KROSS can record your keyboard
performance and use of controllers such as the modulation
wheel and pitch bend wheel in real time.
Usually you will use Single Track Recording to record one
track at a time.
Note: In addition to Single Track Recording, you can also
use Multi-Track Recording. (see page 57)

Preparations for recording

Before you begin recording, make sure that the memory
protect setting in Global mode is turned off. For details,
please see "Protecting the memory" on page 98.

same as when assigning a program to each timbre of a
combination. (see page 44)
Tip: You can copy various settings from Programs or
Combinations. (see pages 138, 139 of the Parameter
Guide)
2. Use Status to specify whether each track will play the
internal and/or external sound generator.
Normally when using the KROSS, you will select INT or
BTH.
INT: During playback, the KROSS's internal tone
generator will play the MIDI data recorded on that track.
When you use the KROSS's keyboard or controllers, you
will be playing and controlling the track selected by
Track Select.
EXT, EX2, BTH: During playback, the MIDI data
recorded on that track will be transmitted from the MIDI
OUT to play an external sound module. When you use
the KROSS's keyboard or controllers, MIDI data will be
transmitted to play and control the external sound module
selected by Track Select. The MIDI channel of the
external tone generator must be set to match the MIDI
Channel (S-TRACK> MIDI page) of KROSS tracks that
are set to EXT, EX2 or BTH.
If Status is set to BTH, both the external tone generator
and internal tone generator will be played and controlled.
3. Set the pan and volume of each track.
Press the PAGE+ button to access the SEQ> MIX page.
Use the cursor button ▼ to choose Pan or Volume.
Use the cursor buttons ◄► to select the track whose
settings you want to edit.
Pan sets the pan position of each track, and Volume sets
the volume level of each track.
4. Specify the MIDI channel that each MIDI track will
play.
Access the S-TRACK> MIDI page. Press the MENU
button to select S-TRACK. Move to the appropriate page.
Use MIDI Channel to specify the MIDI channel for each
track. Normally you will set the MIDI Channel to a
different channel: 1–16 for each track. Tracks that are set
to the same MIDI channel will sound simultaneously
when you record or play back either of the tracks.
5. Adjust the effect settings.
Use the S-FX ROUTING, S-IFX, and S-MFX pages to
make effect settings in each page.
