Recording multiple MIDI tracks from an external sequencer

1. Make sure that the MIDI OUT of your external
sequencer is connected to the MIDI IN of the
KRONOS.
If it is not connected, turn off the power, make the
connection, and then turn the power on.
For more information, see "MIDI applications" on
page 1127 of the Parameter Guide.
2. In the Global P1: MIDI– MIDI page, set MIDI
Clock to External MIDI. With this setting, the
KRONOS will synchronize to MIDI clock
messages from your external sequencer.
Make sure that Receive Ext. Realtime Commands is
checked.
3. Create a new song in Sequencer mode, and in the
P0: Play/REC– Preference page, check the Multi
REC check box. Set Recording Setup to Overwrite.
4. Press Play/Rec/Mute to select "REC" for the tracks
you want to record.
For the tracks you don't want to record, select Play
or Mute.

from the front panel mixer section, or from the P0–
84
Control Surface page of the LCD screen. (See "The
control surface in Sequencer mode" on page 74.)
5. In the P2: Track Parameters– MIDI page, use MIDI
Channel to specify the MIDI channel of each
track.
Set the MIDI channel of each KRONOS track to
match the MIDI channel of each external sequencer
track. Data of the matching channel will be recorded
on each KRONOS track.
Make sure that Status is set to INT or BTH.
6. Press the LOCATE switch to set the location to
001:01.000.
7. Press the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch to
enter record‐standby mode.
8. Start your external sequencer.
The KRONOS' sequencer will automatically begin
recording when it receives the MIDI Start message
transmitted by your external sequencer.
9. When playback has ended, stop your external
sequencer.
The KRONOS' sequencer will automatically stop
recording when it receives the MIDI Stop message
transmitted by the external sequencer. You can also
stop recording by pressing the SEQUENCER
START/STOP switch of the KRONOS.
After this, you can play back the newly recorded
sequence:

Internal.

12.Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch to
play back.

Program Change data.
