Auditioning the sound
Play the KROME's keyboard to hear the combination
you've selected.
Key zone preview allows you to check the timbre's
layer and split settings, as well as how the arpeggiator
is used.
• The keyboard area indicates the last (single) note‐
on that was received on the global MIDI channel.
• The key zone area shows the timbres that will
sound at the key position, differentiated by several
colors according to the settings of each timbre.
Green: Timbres that are sounded on the global MIDI
channel, such as by the keyboard.
Yellow: Timbres that will sound only when the
arpeggiator is on (see page 90).
Orange: Timbres that will sound only when the drum
track is on.
Blue: Timbres whose timbre channel is set to
something other than the global channel. These will
not be sounded by the KROME's keyboard,
arpeggiator, or drum track, but will sound in response
to MIDI note‐on messages from an external device.
Purple: These timbres are used to play an external
sound module. They do not sound on the KROME.
None: Timbres whose timbre status is off. These will
not sound.
The velocity meter shows the note‐on velocity value.
• Note‐on velocities from the keyboard, MIDI IN,
arpeggiator, and drum track are shown for each
timbre/channel. (If multiple note‐on events occur
simultaneously, the highest velocity value will be
shown.)
• Since this shows the note‐on velocity values, it is
not affected by the setting of the Volume slider nor
by changes in the audio signal level. Also, the meter
will respond even if key zone settings or velocity
zone settings are such that the note is not sounded.
Timbres whose Play/Mute and Solo settings allows
them to play are shown in a dark color, and timbres
that are muted are shown in a light color.
