Audio Inputs - Korg Kronos Operation Manual

Then you can use the master effects to create overall
ambience, and use the total effects to make final
adjustments.
In Combination mode you can make these settings for
each combination, and in Sequencer mode you can
make them for each song.
In Sequencer mode, you can switch between effects or
modify the effect parameters and record these changes,
so that effects will switch automatically or effect
parameters will be modified automatically as the song
plays back.
Sampling mode
In Sampling mode, the analog, S/P DIF, and USB audio
inputs, as well as playback from a USB CD drive, can
be processed by insert effects, master effects, and total
effects, and then sampled. Use the P0: Recording–
Audio Input page to make audio input settings for
Sampling mode. These settings apply only to Sampling
mode.
Samples that you've assigned as a multisample can
also be processed by the insert effects, master effects,
and total effects, and then resampled.

Audio Inputs

You can also use audio from the analog, S/P DIF, and
USB audio inputs in Programs, Combinations, and
Songs.
You can apply the insert effects, master effects, and
total effects to external audio sources and sample
them, or use the KRONOS as a 6‐in (AUDIO INPUT 1‐
2, S/P DIF IN L, R, and USB) 6‐out effect processor.
You can also use an external mic input to control a
vocoder effect (093: Vocoder), and modulate the
internal sounds. For examples, see "Vocoder (Program
mode)" on page 861 of the Parameter Guide and
"Rhythmic Vocoder (Combination mode)" on page 862
of the Parameter Guide.
Combination and Sequencer
modes
Sampling mode
Audio Input
In Sequencer mode you can also use the effects when
recording external audio sources to audio tracks.
Use the P0– Audio Input/Sampling page of each mode
to make audio input settings. Alternatively, you can
check Use Global Setting and make these settings in
the Global mode P0: Basic Setup– Audio page.
Normally you will leave Use Global Setting checked.
Uncheck this if you want programs and combinations
to use their own settings. For example when writing
the program as a vocoder effect program.

Effects overview Effects in each mode
When effects are applied to the audio inputs, certain
effect types or parameter settings may cause
oscillation to occur. If this occurs, adjust the input
level, output level, or effect parameters. Please be
aware of this particularly when using an effect that
has a high gain.
