4. Make Chain settings.
If the Chain check box is checked, the insert effect
will be connected in series. Since the output of the
oscillator is being sent to IFX1 in step 2, making
settings as shown in the diagram step 6 would
connect all five insertion effects IFX1 → IFX2 →
IFX3 → IFX4 → IFX5 in series, so that these effects
would be inserted into the output of the oscillator.
5. Make settings for Pan (CC#8), Bus Sel. (Bus
Select), Send 1, Send 2, REC Bus and Ctrl Bus for
the sound after it has passed through the insert
effects.
If you've specified a chain, the settings that follow
the last IFX in the chain will be valid (except for
"Ctrl Bus").
Pan: Sets the pan of the IFX output.
Bus Sel. (Bus Select): Specifies the output
destination. Normally you will set this to L/R. If you
wish to send the sound that has passed through the
insert effects to AUDIO OUTPUT (INDIVIDUAL)
1–4, select 1–4, 1/2, or 3/4.
Send 1, Send 2: Sets the send levels to the master
effects. For this example, set this to 127.
Ctrl Bus: The FX Control Buses lets you create
effects "sidechains." Sidechains let you control an
effect with one audio signal (the sidechain), while
the effect processes a completely different audio
signal. This is convenient for use with vocoders,
compressors and limiters, gates, etc. For more
information, see "FX Control Buses" on page 860 of
the Parameter Guide.
REC Bus: The sound processed by the insert effect
will be sent to the REC bus. In the P0– Audio
Input/Sampling page, you can set the Sampling
Setup Source Bus to a REC bus, and sample the
signal that is sent to the REC bus. Use this if you
want to sample only the sound of an audio input
source being processed by an insert effect (and not
sample the sound of the oscillator output).
Alternatively, the direct sound from the audio
inputs can be mixed with the sound processed by an
insert effect, sent to a REC bus, and sampled.
6. Go to the P8: Insert Effect– Insert FX page, and edit
the parameters of the insert effect you selected.
Press the IFX 1–12 tab, use the tabs at the left to
select IFX1–12, and edit the effect parameters.
Effect 1 On/Off: Turns the insert effect on/off. This
is linked with the on/off setting in the Insert FX
page.
P (Effect Preset): Selects an effect preset. The
KRONOS' internal memory contains "effect
presets" which are parameter settings for each effect
from 001: St.Dyna Compressor through 185:
Mt.BPM Dly//Mt.BPM Dly.
Effect parameters you edit are saved as part of each
program, but effect presets allow you to save
favorite parameter settings for each effect. For more
information, see "Effect Presets" on page 211.

Master effects
The input levels to the master effects are set by the
Send 1 & 2 levels. If Send 1 & 2 are zero, the master
effects will not be heard. Send 1 goes to MFX1, and
Send 2 goes to MFX2.
1. Go to the Program P9: Master/Total Effect–
Routing page.
2. In MFX1 and MFX2, select the type of each master
effect.
