Recording the MIDI output of the
KRONOS's controllers, KARMA, and
internal sequencer to an external
sequencer or computer
If you wish to record the MIDI output of the KRONOS's
controllers, KARMA function, and internal sequencer on an
external sequencer or computer and use the KRONOS as the
monitoring and playback tone generator while you record,
you must turn off the KRONOS's Local Control setting
("Local Control On" Global 1–1a), and set your external
sequencer/computer for echo-back (a function by which the
data received at MIDI IN is retransmitted without change
from MIDI OUT) so that the data from the KRONOS's
controllers, KARMA function and internal sequencer will
not be applied in duplicate to the tone generator.
Using the REALTIME KNOBS 1–8 to record
MIDI control changes on an external MIDI
sequencer/computer
Set the KRONOS to Local Control Off. Set the external
MIDI sequencer/computer to Echo Back On. With these
settings, recording and playback will occur correctly, and the
control changes will not be applied to the tone generator in
duplicate.
Recording KARMA or RPPR function on
an external MIDI sequencer/computer
When KARMA is on, playing the keyboard or operating the
controllers of the KRONOS will operate and control
KARMA.
In the same way, KARMA will be controlled by MIDI
messages received from MIDI IN (if "Enable MIDI In to
KARMA Module" in Global 1–1b is turned on).
Notes transmitted from MIDI OUT by KARMA are
controlled as follows, according to the local control setting
("Local Control On" Global 1–1a) and the "Enable KARMA
Module to MIDI Out" (Global 1–1b) setting.
In Sequencer mode, when the RPPR function is on, playing
the keyboard will cause RPPR to operate. Similarly, the
RPPR function will also operate in response to notes
received on the MIDI channel of the track selected by Track
Select (Sequencer 0–1a). Notes will be transmitted by RPPR
from MIDI OUT according to the local control setting
("Local Control On") as described below.
Local Control On: Notes from KARMA or RPPR will be
transmitted from MIDI OUT. However, MIDI transmission
from the KARMA module is valid only if "Enable KARMA
Module to MIDI Out" is on. Normally you will use this
setting.
Local Control Off: Notes from KARMA or RPPR will not
be transmitted from MIDI OUT. The KRONOS will sound
only in response to MIDI messages received at MIDI IN, or
generated by KARMA or RPPR.
Setting example 1
To record the note messages generated by KARMA or RPPR
on the external MIDI sequencer/computer:
1. Turn on KARMA or RPPR.
2. On Global P1:MIDI, enable Local Control On.

When you're recording a performance generated by
KARMA or RPPR, this setting will prevent duplicate notes
from being sounded by the echo-back. (Turn the RPPR
function off for playback.)
Setting example 2
To use the external MIDI sequencer/computer to record only
the notes that trigger KARMA or RPPR, and operate
KARMA or RPPR for monitoring while recording, and
during playback:
1. Turn on KARMA or RPPR.
2. On Global P1:MIDI, disable Local Control On.
3. Make the following KARMA External Routing
Notes generated by KARMA or RPPR will not be output.
4. On your external MIDI sequencer or computer, turn
This allows recording to occur correctly, without KARMA
or the RPPR function being applied in duplicate.
About GM (General MIDI)
The KRONOS supports the GM standard. It also supports
the GM2 sound map (including bank select) with 256
programs and 9 drum programs provided in ROM banks G,
g(1)–g(9), and g(d). (Banks g(1)–g(9) are GM2 variation
programs, and g(d) contains drum programs.)
GM is a standard that ensures basic compatibility of sounds
and controllers between GM-compatible instruments made
by different manufacturers. When using GM with KRONOS,
be aware of the following.
• GM System On is supported in Sequencer mode. For
• When you wish to play a GM sequence, or load GM data
About standard MIDI files
Standard MIDI files (SMF) make it possible for different
computer programs or musical instruments made by
different manufacturers to exchange time-based MIDI data.
Each standard MIDI file contains one song. The KRONOS
supports format 0 (type 0) in which all of the MIDI data is
combined into one track, and format 1 (type 1) in which the
data is separated by track.
