Using Realtime Controls To Edit The Sound Or; Effects - Korg Krome Operation Manual

Playing and editing Programs
Using realtime controls to edit
the sound or effects
You can use the realtime controls (the SELECT button
and knobs 1–4) to modify the sound and control the
arpeggiator.
1. Press the REALTIME CONTROLS SELECT button
to switch the realtime control function between
TONE, USER, or ARP.
Each time you press the button, you'll cycle through A,
B, and C modes, and the corresponding LED will light
up.
Note: If CC#70–79 are assigned to REALTIME
CONTROLS A mode and B mode, the sound that you
edit using knobs 1–4 will be saved when you write the
program. Arpeggiator settings you adjust in C mode
will also be saved.
2. Modify the sound by turning the knob that you
want to control. See below for details.
TONE controls
In TONE section you can turn knobs 1–4 to control or
edit the following items.
Note: When a knob is in the center position
(12 o'clock), the parameter will have the value
specified by the program.
Knob 1: CUTOFF
This adjusts the filter's cutoff frequency. Adjusting the
cutoff frequency will modify the brightness of the
sound.

Knob 2: RESONANCE
This adjusts the filter's resonance level.
Adjusting the filter resonance level will boost the
sound in the region of the frequency, giving a
distinctive character to the sound.

Frequency

Knob 3: EG INT
This adjusts the filter EG intensity (the depth of how
the EG affects the filter).
Using the knob will change the amount of how the
filter is affected by the EG. Normally, turning the knob
toward the left will make the filter EG shallower, and
turning the knob toward the right will make it deeper.
Since the filter EG operates relative to the filter cutoff
frequency, both knobs 1 and 3 will control the tonal
change produced by the filter.
Level
Knob 4: RELEASE
This adjusts the filter and amp EG release time,
changing the time from note‐off until the sound is no
longer heard.
Turning the knob will change the release time of the
filter EG and the amp EG. Normally, turning the knob
toward the left will shorten the release time, and
turning the knob toward the right will lengthen it.

Example:
1. Select program "Category: KEYBOARD A066:
Dark R&B Piano.
This is an electric piano sound. Let's try modifying the
sound a little.
2. Press the REALTIME CONTROLS SELECT button
to select TONE (the LED will light‐up).
3. While you play, slowly turn knob 1 (filter
frequency) about 3/4 toward the right.
The piano sound will become more like a synth sweep.
4. Next, turn knob 2 (filter resonance) about 3/4
toward the right as well.
5. Leave knob 2 in its position, and try turning knob
1 to the left and right.
Raising the resonance will change the sound as though
you were playing through a wah pedal.
