REC/WRITE is the
exception; it has special
functions in Program,
Combination, Set List and
Global modes, as described
below.
PAUSE button
In Sequencer mode, this button pauses the playback of the
song. When paused, the button's LED will light up. Press
PAUSE once again to resume playback, and the LED will
turn off.
In Disk and Sampling modes, this button pauses audio CD
playback.
<<REW button
In Sequencer mode, when the Song is playing or paused, this
button will rewind the song. When you press and hold this
button, its LED will light up, and the playback will rewind.
(Rewind is disabled during recording, and while the Song is

CD.
FF>> button

button will fast-forward the song. When you press and hold
this button, the button will light, and the playback will fast-
forward. (Fast-forward is disabled during recording, and
while the Song is stopped.)
In Disk and Sampling modes, this button fast-forwards the

LOCATE button
In Sequencer mode, this button will advance or rewind the
song to the specified locate point. This lets you jump
immediately to any point in the current Song. The default
locate point is the first beat of measure 1.
To set the locate point to the current position, hold down
ENTER and then press LOCATE. You can also set the
Locate point via the on-screen menu.
REC/WRITE button
In Sequencer mode, pressing this button puts the system in
record-ready mode. Once you're in record-ready mode
(shown by the button's lit LED), you can begin recording by
pressing the SEQUENCER START/STOP button.
REC/WRITE also provides two very handy shortcuts. For more
information, see "Auto Song Setup" on page 22, and "Shortcut:
Update via SEQUENCER REC/WRITE" on page 24.
START/STOP button
This starts or stops recording and playback in Sequencer
mode.
In Disk and Sampling modes, this button starts and stops
playback on audio CDs.
17. TEMPO controls
TEMPO knob
This knob adjusts the tempo for the KRONOS as a whole,
including Songs, KARMA, the Drum Track, Tempo-synced
LFOs and BPM delays, and EXi Step Sequencers. The LED
will blink at quarter-note intervals of the current tempo.
Note: If the GLOBAL MIDI page MIDI CLOCK parameter
is set to External MIDI or USB, or if it is set to Auto and a
clock is currently being received, then neither the TEMPO
Knob nor the TAP TEMPO button will have any effect.
TAP TEMPO button
This button lets you enter tempos simply by tapping your
finger on the button. Two taps are enough to change the
tempo; for greater accuracy, tap multiple times.
Notice that the " =" in the upper right of the LCD screen
will change to show the new tempo. You can also enter
tempos directly into this field using the data entry controls,
such as the numeric keypad.
Note: You can also tap tempos using a foot switch. For more
information, see "Foot Switch Assignments" in the
Appendix of the PG.
18. SAMPLING buttons
REC button
In Sampling, Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes,
pressing this button puts the system in sampling-ready mode.
The button's LED will light up.
To continue, press the SAMPLING START/STOP button, as
described below.
Note: Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes all have
an Audio Input/Sampling page, with various sampling-
related settings. These pages also have an Auto Sampling
Setup menu command, with options to make various
common settings in a single step.
START/STOP button
In Sampling, Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes,
pressing this when the SAMPLING REC button is lit will do
one of three things, depending on the setting of the Trigger
parameter (on the Sampling mode Recording - Audio Input
page):
• If Trigger is set to Sampling START SW, sampling will
begin immediately.
• If Trigger is set to Note On, sampling will begin as soon
as you play a note on the keyboard.
• If Trigger is set to Threshold, sampling will begin as
soon as the selected audio source reaches a preset
volume level.
On the Sample Edit page in Sampling mode, pressing this
button will play the selected range of the current sample.
Also, whenever you're viewing a list of files on disk, you
can press this button to play 44.1kHz or 48kHz WAVE files
directly from disk.
19. TouchView display
The KRONOS features Korg's exclusive TouchView graphic
interface, based on a touch-panel LCD screen.
By touching items on the LCD screen, you can navigate
between pages, set parameter values via on-screen menus
and buttons, execute commands, and so on. For more
information, see "TouchView user interface" on page 13.
