Synchronizing the Drum Track
function

The Trigger "Sync" parameter

The trigger timing of a drum track will depend on the setting
of its Trigger Sync parameter.
On (checked): The trigger timing will be quantized to the
nearest beat relative to the base tempo.
Off (unchecked): If Trigger Mode is set to Start
Immediately, triggering will occur at the moment you press
the DRUM TRACK button. If this is set to Wait KBD
Trigger, triggering will occur at the moment you play the
keyboard.
Synchronization with the arpeggiator, step
sequencer, and Sequencer mode songs
Turn the Sync setting On if you want the Drum Track
patterns to play or record in synchronization with the
arpeggiator that's currently running, the step sequencer, or
the song that's currently playing.
Trigger Sync Off: If the Trigger Mode setting is set to Start
Immediately, the Drum Track pattern will be triggered the
moment you press the DRUM TRACK button. If this is set
to Wait KBD Trigger, the Drum Track pattern will be
triggered the moment you play the keyboard. The Drum
Track will not synchronize with the arpeggiator that's
currently running, the step sequencer, or the song that's
currently running.
Trigger Sync on: The Drum Track will be triggered at one-
measure intervals in synchronization with the song that's
currently running. The Drum Track will be triggered at one-
beat intervals in synchronization with the arpeggiator that's
currently running or the step sequencer (in Sequencer mode
if the song is stopped).
Note: If you want to synchronize the arpeggiator to the
Drum Track function that's currently running, make settings
for Key Sync (P-ARP> SETUP, C-ARP> A, B, S-ARP> A,
B).

Synchronization with song stop

Synchronization with a song in Sequencer
mode
• When you press the SEQUENCER START/STOP
( ) button, the Drum Track function will stop as
well as the sequencer.
• If you want the Drum Track function to start
simultaneously with the start of recording, press the
DRUM TRACK button during the pre-count before
recording (if Trigger Mode is set to Start Immediately)
or play the keyboard (if Trigger Mode is Wait KBD
Trigger). The Drum Tracks will not be triggered
immediately, but will be triggered in synchronization
with the sequencer the moment recording starts.

Slave operation

Connect the KROSS's MIDI IN to your external MIDI
device's MIDI OUT, or connect the KROSS's USB B
connector to your computer's USB port.
Set MIDI Clock (see page 99) to External MIDI or External
USB.
Note: If the KROSS is set to MIDI Clock= Auto, it will also
synchronize to the external MIDI device in the same way if
MIDI timing clock messages are being received from the
external device.
Synchronization to MIDI clock
The arpeggiator function will synchronize to a tempo based
on the external MIDI clock timing.
Synchronization with MIDI realtime commands
In Sequencer mode, Song Start, Continue, and Stop
messages that the KROSS receives will control song
playback and recording just as when you use the front panel
START/STOP ( ) button. The KARMA function also
will be controlled in the same way as when you use the front
panel START/STOP (
with song stop")

Master operation

If you want an external MIDI device or computer to
synchronize to the KROSS's MIDI timing clock and
realtime commands, connect the KROSS's MIDI OUT to
your external MIDI device's MIDI IN, or connect the
KROSS's USB port to your computer's USB port.
Set MIDI Clock to Internal.
Note: The same applies if MIDI Clock=Auto and MIDI
realtime clock messages are being transmitted. (see page 99)
Synchronization via MIDI clock
The connected external MIDI device will synchronize to the
MIDI clock of the KROSS.
