Clock parameter is set to External MIDI, External
USB, or set to Auto and MIDI Clock messages are
being received, the display will indicate " =" EXT,
and the KROME will be synchronized to an
external MIDI device. In this case, you won't be
able to change the tempo by using the KROME.
Selecting a Drum Track pattern and
Drum Track program
1. Access the Prog P0: Play– Main page.
Drum Track Play/Mute, Solo On/Off, Volume
2. Select a Drum Track pattern. Use "Pattern Bank"
to select the preset or the user bank, and use
"Pattern No." to select the pattern number.
3. Use "Drum Track Program" to select the program
that will play the Drum Track pattern.
Note: You can only select programs of category
number 15 (Drums). If you want to use an original
program you created as the Drum Track program, save
it with "Category" set to 15 (see page 30).
Note: If you've selected an empty pattern, the DRUM
TRACK button will not function.
These parameters can also be set from P7: ARP/DT
page.
Setting the EQ, volume, mute, and
solo for the drum track pattern
In the Prog P0: Play– Mixer & Drum Track page you
can use a 3‐band EQ to adjust the sound of the drum
track program. You can also edit the volume, mute,
and solo settings.

set to Start Immediately.)

adjust the performance tempo.
Selecting a Drum Track pattern and Drum
Track program
Unlike its functionality in Program mode, the Drum
Track function in Combination mode does not have its
own dedicated track (timbre). The program that plays
the Drum Track pattern will use the timbre that you
specify.
1. In the Combi P0: Play– Program T01–08 page or
T09–16 page, select the timbre that you want to use
for the drum track, and then select the Drum Track
program.
