Playing Programs and Combinations

Selecting Programs by bank and number
Programs are the basic sounds of the KRONOS.
1. Press the front‐panel PROG button (the LED will
light) to enter Program mode.
The upper left of the LCD screen shows the name of
the current page, PROGRAM P0: Play. This is a good
home base for playing Programs.
Notice the large, highlighted characters in the upper
part of the LCD display. These are the name and
number of the current Program. When these are
highlighted, you can press the
the next or previously numbered Program.
You can also turn the VALUE dial to move through the
Programs in larger steps, or enter Program numbers
directly from the numeric keypad.
2. Use the BANK SELECT I‐A...G and U‐A...G
buttons to select Programs from other banks.
Each Slot can play either a Program, a Combination, or
a Song. When you change the Type, the Bank &
Number and Category or Track parameters will
update accordingly. Category appears for Programs
and Combinations; Track appears for Songs.
4. Using either the Bank & Number or Category
Note that you can use the same sound in multiple Slots
within the same Set List. For instance, you might have
a favorite piano sound which you use in a number of
different songs. You can create any number of Slots
which use this same piano sound, each with different
names and comments.
Writing your edits
When you've finished adding sounds, make sure to
save your edits by writing the Set List:
1. Select Write Set List from the page menu.
The Write Set List dialog will appear.
2. If you wish, edit the name by pressing on the "T"
3. Optionally, use the Set List popup menu to write
4. Press OK to write the Set List, or Cancel to exit

"Saving your edits" on page 24.

modes
Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes each
have an Add to Set List command in their P0 page
menus.
When you use the Add to Set List command, the
current Program, Combination, or Song is inserted at
the current Slot of the current Set List, similar to using
the Set List Edit page's Insert command.
