Set Lists And The Control Surface - Korg kronos Operation Manual

Set Lists
You can give the Set List a descriptive name using the on-
screen keyboard.
3. After entering the name, press OK.
The text edit window will disappear, returning you to the
main Write dialog.
4. Under "To" at the bottom of the dialog, press the
popup button next to Set List to bring up the save
location dialog.
5. Select a location to save the edited Set List.
6. After selecting the location, press OK.
7. Press OK again to start the write process.
8. If you're sure you want to write to this location, press
OK again.
After that, you're done!
Do not turn off the power for at least 10 seconds after
writing the Set List data. This allows the system time to
complete the process, which includes saving a backup of
the data to the internal disk.
Editing a Slot's Program, Combination, or
Song
When you're in a rehearsal or sound-check, you may need to
make quick edits to a sound in the Set List.
With this in mind, you can:
• Jump to the editing pages for the selected Program,
Combination, or Song
• Make the desired edits

Set Lists and the Control Surface

Overview
The Control Surface is the group of knobs, buttons, and
sliders to the left of the display. You can use it for hands-on
control of mixing, KARMA, and external devices, as well as
synth modulation and editing. It's a pretty deep and powerful
part of the KRONOS; for an in-depth look at some of what it
can do, see "Quick edits using the knobs,
sliders, and switches" on page 43.
In this part of the manual, we'll just look at the unique ways
that the Control Surface works in Set List mode.
In general, the Control Surface works very similarly for
Program, Combination, and Songs. However, there are some
small differences between them, matching their different
capabilities. For instance, Programs have three mixer
channels (for the two oscillators or EXi, plus Drum Track),
while Combinations and Songs have sixteen channels. The
Set List's Control Surface page will change to match the
current Slot type.
For more information on how the Control Surface works in
the different modes, see:
Programs: "Control Surface knobs, sliders, & switches" on
page 37, and "Quick edits using the knobs,
sliders, and switches" on page 43
Combinations: "Adjusting the mix" on page 66, "Easy
KARMA editing" on page 67, and "Editing Programs with
Tone Adjust" on page 72

• Save the edits
• Return easily to the original Set List page
To do so:
1. Select the desired item in the Set List.
Next, from any of the Set List pages:
2a.In the menu, select the Edit [Type] command.
The actual name of the command will be either Edit
Program, Edit Combination, or Edit Song, depending on
the selected Slot.
or:
2b.Hold the front-panel ENTER button, and touch the
Slot's button.
The mode will change to Program, Combination, or
Sequence as appropriate, and the system will display the P0
page for the selected item.
The Program, Combination, or Sequence mode button's
LED will blink, and the Set List LED remains solidly on, to
show that you are editing an item in a Set List. The Set List
settings, including EQ and volume, continue to affect the
sound.
3. Edit as desired.
4. Write your edits.
For more information, see "Saving your edits" on page 46
(for Programs), "Saving your edits" on page 74 (for
Combinations), or "Saving your Song" on page 116.
5. Press the SET LIST button to return to the Set List.
Set List mode will be as you left it, with the same Set List
and Slot selected.
Songs (Sequencer mode): "The control surface in
Sequencer mode" on page 80
Most Control Surface edits not stored in the Set
List
Important: Only the Graphic EQ settings are stored with the
Set List. All other Control Surface edits are not stored with
the Set List. Instead, they must be stored with the original
Program, Combination, or Song. For more details, see
"Saving Control Surface edits," below.
Saving Control Surface edits
Any changes that you make via the Control Surface—editing
mixer levels, for instance, or tweaking the real-time knobs—
are temporary unless they are saved, just as they are in the
other modes.
However, if you make changes that you'd like to keep, you
can save your edits to Programs or Combinations directly
from Set List mode. To do so:
1. Make your edits using the Control Surface.
2. In the page menu, select the command "Update
Program" or "Update Combination."
The actual name will depend on whether the current Slot is a
Program or Combination.
