Effects Selection And Routing; Using Effects In Programs - Korg Kronos Operation Manual

Using Effects

Effects selection and routing

The insert effects, master effects, and total effects have
the same structure in all modes, but the routing
settings will determine how the oscillators of a
Program, timbres of a Combination, or tracks of a Song

Using effects in Programs

Routing to IFX, outputs, and buses
1. Go to the Program P8: Insert Effect– Routing page.
2. Use Bus Select (IFX/Indiv. Out Assign) to specify
the bus to which the oscillator output will be sent.
If you want the oscillator output to be input to
insert effect 1, choose IFX1.
L/R: The output will not be sent to the total effects.
After passing through the total effect, the sound will
be sent to AUDIO OUTPUT (MAIN) L/MONO and
R.
IFX1–12: The output will be sent to insert effect IFX
1–12.
1–4, 1/2–3/4: The output will be sent to AUDIO
OUTPUT (INDIVIDUAL) 1–4. It will not be sent to
the insert effects, the master effects, or the total
effects.
Off: The output will not be sent to AUDIO
OUTPUT (MAIN) L/MONO, R, or to
(INDIVIDUAL) 1–4. Choose this if you want the
signal to be series‐connected to the master effects at
the send levels specified by "Send 1 (MFX1)" and
"Send 2 (MFX2)."
3. OSC MFX Send specifies the send level from each
oscillator to the master effects.
This can be set only when "Bus Select
(IFX/Indiv.Out Assign)" is either L/R or Off.
If "Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.Out Assign)" is set to IFX1–
12, the send level to the master effects is set by
Send1 and Send2 (Insert FX page) after the signal
passes through the insert effects.
4. "FX Control Bus (All OSCs to)" sends the
oscillator 1 and 2 output to the FX Control bus. Use
this if you want the audio input to the effect to be
controlled by a different sound.
You can use the two FX Control buses to control
effects freely.

will be sent to each insert effect, master effect or total
effect. In the pages that follow, we will explain how
you can make routing settings and effect settings in
each mode.
5. REC Bus sends the oscillator 1 and 2 output to the
REC buses.
In the P0– Audio Input/Sampling page, you can set
the Sampling Setup Source Bus to a REC bus, and
sample the signal being sent to the REC bus.
Normally you will turn this Off, since you will
usually set Source Bus to L/R when sampling the
output of oscillator 1 and 2.
Drum Track routing
The Drum Track routing is controlled separately from
the main Program. The options are very similar to
those for the main Program, as described above. The
Drum Track routing parameters are on the Program
P1: Basic/Vector Drum Track page (P4 in EXi
Programs).
Insert effects
1. Go to the Insert FX page.
2. Choose the effect type that you want to use for
each insert effect IFX1–12.
When you press the popup button, all effects will be
displayed, organized into nine categories. Use the
pages located at the left to select a category, and
select an effect from that category on the LCD
screen.
You can use the "Copy Insert Effect" page menu
command to copy effect settings from another
program etc. Also, you can use "Swap Insert Effect"
to exchange (for example) IFX1 and IFX12.
3. Press the On/Off button to turn on the insert
effect.
Each time you press the button, the insert effect will
be switched on/off. When Off, the result will be the
same as when 000: No Effect is selected. The input
sound will be output without change.
