These 4 additional audio outputs let you isolate sounds,
audio inputs, or audio tracks for recording or complex live
sound setups. For more information, see "Effects selection
and routing" in the "Using Effects" chapter of the OG. Note
that these outputs are not affected by the VOLUME knob.
6. MIDI
MIDI lets you connect KRONOS to computers or other
MIDI devices, for sending and receiving notes, controller
gestures, sound settings, and so on.
7. S/P DIF IN & OUT
These jacks provide 24-bit optical S/P DIF input and output.
Make sure to use optical cables desig1ned for digital audio.
Whenever you use digital audio connections, make sure that
all connected systems are set so that there is one and only
one word clock master. Set the KRONOS word clock using
the System Clock parameter on the Global P0: Basic Setup
page.
8. Pedals
DAMPER jack
For the damper–also known as the sustain pedal– you can
connect either a standard footswitch, or Korg's special half-
damper pedal, the optional DS-1H.
The DS-1H is a continuous pedal designed specifically for
piano-style damper control, with the look and feel of an
acoustic piano's sustain pedal. It allows more subtle control
of the damper than a simple switch; the further down you
press the pedal, the more that the sound sustains.
You can also connect a simple footswitch, which will work
as a standard on/off damper pedal.
In order to ensure that the pedal functions correctly, please
adjust the switch polarity on the Controller tab of the Global
P2: Controllers/Scales page.
When using a half-damper pedal:
1. Set the polarity.
For the DS-1H, use (–) KORG Standard.
2. After setting the polarity, calibrate the pedal using the
Half Damper Calibration menu command on the
Global P0: Basic page.
ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack
This lets you connect a simple on/off footswitch, such as the
optional Korg PS-1. The footswitch can perform a wide
variety of functions, such as modulating sounds and effects,
tap tempo, sequencer start/stop, etc.
The switch's function is set on the Controller tab of the
Global P2: Controllers/Scales page, so that it always works
the same regardless of the current Program, Combi, or Song.
For more information, please see "Setting up the Assignable
Switch and Pedal" in the "Global Settings, Wave Seq., Drum
Kits"chapter of the OG.
ASSIGNABLE PEDAL jack
This lets you connect a continuous controller pedal, such as
the Korg EXP-2 foot controller or Korg XVP-10 EXP/VOL
pedal, to use as an assignable modulation source.
Like the ASSIGNABLE SWITCH, the pedal's function is
set on the Global P2: Controllers/Scales page.
