Finally, you can clear all solos by holding RESET
CONTROLS and then pressing the SOLO button.
SOLO button
This applies only when CONTROL ASSIGN is set to
TIMBRE/TRACK or AUDIO. It toggles the SELECT
buttons (the bottom row of 8) between selecting the current
Oscillator, Timbre, Track, or Audio Input (when SOLO is
off) or soloing the channel (when SOLO is on).
3. Data Entry
When you've selected a parameter on the TouchView
display, you can edit it using any of the four front-panel data
entry controls: the VALUE slider, the Inc
buttons, the VALUE dial, and the numeric keypad.
VALUE slider
Use this to edit the selected parameter's value. This
control is convenient for making large changes to
the value, such as moving quickly to the minimum
or maximum setting.
In three special cases, the value slider sends MIDI
CC #18 and can be used as a modulation source, and
is not used for data entry:
• On the Program mode P0: Main page, when the
big Program name is selected, or
• On the Combination mode P0: Main page, when
the big Combination name is selected.
• On the Set List P0: Play page.
Inc
and Dec
buttons
These are used to increase or decrease the parameter value
by individual steps. They're convenient for making fine
parameter adjustments.
VALUE dial
Use this dial to edit the selected parameter's value. This
control is convenient when you want to scroll through a very
long list of selections.
0-9, –, ., and ENTER buttons
These buttons are convenient when you know the exact
value that you want to enter. Use the 0–9, –, and decimal (.)
buttons to enter the value, and then press the ENTER button
to confirm the entry.
The – button inverts the sign (+/–) of the parameter value;
the decimal (.) button inserts a decimal, for entering
fractional values.
ENTER is also used for a number of shortcut commands,
described throughout this guide. For instance, if a parameter
specifies a note number or velocity, you can use ENTER to
edit the value directly from the keyboard:
1. Select a note number or velocity parameter.
2. Hold down the ENTER key.
3. While holding ENTER, play a note on the keyboard.
4. DISK access indicator
This LED lights up when data is being saved to or read from
the internal drive.
Never turn off the power while this LED is lit. Doing so
can cause all or part of the data on the disk to be lost, or
may cause malfunctions such as disk damage.
5. MODE buttons
The KRONOS is organized into seven different "modes,"
each optimized for a different purpose: Set List, Program,
Combination, Sequencer, Sampling, Global, and Disk. Each
mode has a corresponding button on the front panel, with an
LED to show which one is selected. For more information,
see "Selecting modes" on page 15.
and Dec
6. UTILITY buttons
HELP button
The HELP button gives you built-in, context-sensitive
access to the user manuals, right from the front panel. For
more information, see "On-board Help system*" on page 4.
COMPARE button
Use this button to compare the sound of the Program or
Combination that you are currently editing with the saved,
un-edited version of the sound. You can also use this button
to make "before and after" comparisons when recording or
editing in Sequencer mode.
7. BANK SELECT buttons
Use these buttons to change banks when selecting Programs
or Combinations. The LEDs in the buttons light up to show
the current bank. There are fourteen bank buttons, in two
groups: Internal (I-A...G) and User (U-A...G).
In Program mode, these buttons select the Program bank.
They are active only on the Play pages. For details on the
contents of the Program banks, see "Program Bank
Contents" on page 18.
To select Program Banks USER–AA...GG, press both the I
and U buttons simultaneously. For example, to select bank
USER–CC, press and hold the I–C button, and then press the
U–C button.
In Combination mode, these buttons have two functions:
• When you're selecting Combinations, they choose the
Combination bank.
• When you're assigning a Program to a timbre within the
Combination, they select the Program bank.
In Sequencer mode, when a track's Program name is
selected, these buttons change the Program bank.
General MIDI banks
Selecting General MIDI Program banks is a little different
from selecting other banks. Each time you press the I-G
button, the bank will step to the next GM(2) bank or GM
drum bank in the following order: G, g(1), g(2)–g(8), g(9),
g(d), G, g(1), etc.
