*3 Volume and Expression
The volume of the KRONOS is determined by multiplying
Volume (CC#07) with Expression (CC#11). In Sequencer
mode when you stop the song playback and return the
location to the beginning of the track, the Volume will be set
to the starting value, and the Expression will be set to the
maximum value (127).
*4 CCs 70...79
A value of 64 will correspond to the value specified by the
program parameter. 0 is the minimum, and 127 is the
maximum. Changing from 63–1 or from 65–126 will adjust
the effect from the program parameter setting toward the
minimum value or maximum value.
For details about the specific parameters controlled by these
CCs, please see "Parameters controlled by MIDI CCs #70-
79" on page 1140.
*5 Effect Depths 2, 4, and 5
These CCs are recognized only on the global MIDI channel.
*6 VALUE slider and CC#18
Most of the time, the VALUE slider is used only for entering
values. You can also use the VALUE slider as a modulation
source, but only when the following are true:
Parameters controlled by MIDI CCs #70-79
MIDI CCs#70–79 have fixed assignments to control basic
Program parameters, for quick and simple control of timbre.
You can use these CCs from MIDI, or from the front-panel
controls.
Realtime Knobs 1-4 are always assigned to four of these
CCs, as shown below:
Knob 1
CC#74–Filter Cutoff
Knob 2
CC#71–Filter Resonance
Knob 3
CC#79–EG Intensity
Knob 4
CC#72–EG Release Time
Knobs 5-8 can be assigned to various functions, including
any of the CCs#70-79.
The specific parameters controlled by the CCs will vary
depending on the synth algorithm being used, as shown in
the tables below:
• "HD-1" on page 1141
• "AL-1 and STR-1" on page 1141
• "CX-3" on page 1141
• "MS-20EX" on page 1141
• "PolysixEX" on page 1142
• "MOD-7" on page 1142
• "SGX-2" on page 1142
• "EP-1" on page 1142
These CCs modulate the underlying parameters, instead of
editing them directly. In most cases, a value of 64 (knob
pointing straight up) is equal to the programmed parameter
value; turning the CC down to 0 reduces the parameter to its
minimum value, and turning the CC up to 127 increases the

• You're on the Program mode P0-Main page, and the big
Program name is selected, or
• You're on the Combination mode P0– Prog Select/Mixer
page, and the big Combination name is selected, or
• You're on the Set List P0-Play page.
In these cases only, the VALUE slider sends MIDI CC#18,
and can be used as a modulation source.
*7 CC assignments for KARMA and Pads
As shipped from the factory, for simplicity, all KARMA and
Pad CC assignments are set to Off. However, the KRONOS
has a set of recommended CC assignments, as shown in the
table above. These assignments can be loaded in a single
step by using the Reset Controller MIDI Assign menu
command on the Global P2– Controller page. For more
information, see "Reset Controller MIDI Assign" on
page 822.
*8 Vector Joystick and MIDI CCs
By default, the Vector Joystick X-axis and Y-axis are
assigned to CCs 118 and 119, as shown in the table above.
These can be changed if desired.
The Global MIDI Vector MIDI Out parameter also affects
MIDI transmission from the Vector Joystick and Vector EG.
For more information, see "Vector and MIDI" on page 52
and "Vector MIDI Out" on page 784.
parameter to its maximum value. In other cases, such as
some EG parameters, the action of the CC may be more
complex.
In Program mode, these modulated values can be stored back
into the parameters, if desired. Just use the Write Program
menu command, and the modulation will be converted into
the underlying parameter values, over-writing the previous
settings. After doing this, the CCs will be reset to 64.
In Sampling mode, these CCs will modulate their parameters
just as in Program mode. You can use the Convert MS to
Program menu command to save the current state as a
Program, in which case the modulation will be converted
into the underlying parameter values.
In Combination and Sequencer modes, the CCs will
modulate the parameters for all Timbres or Tracks on a given
MIDI channel. However, edits made in this way cannot be
saved back into a Program.
