1. Hold down the ENTER button.
2. Press a number (0-9) on the numeric keypad to select
the desired menu command, starting with 0.
For instance, press 0 for the first menu command, 1 for the
second, and so on.
If the menu command just toggles an option on and off (such
as Exclusive Solo), then you're done. If the command calls
up a dialog box, the dialog will appear on the LCD, and you
can proceed just as if you'd selected the command from the
touch-screen.
ENTER + REC/WRITE: Auto Song Setup
The Auto Song Setup feature copies the current Program or
Combination into a Song, and then puts the KRONOS in
record-ready mode.
If inspiration for a phrase or song strikes you while you're
playing, you can use this function to start recording
immediately. To do so:
1. Hold down the ENTER key and press the
SEQUENCER REC/WRITE key.
The Setup to Record dialog box will open and ask "Are you
sure?"
2. Press OK.
You will automatically enter Sequencer mode, and will be in
the record-ready state.
3. Press the START/STOP key to start the sequencer
and begin recording.
ENTER + keyboard: Enter note or velocity value
Generally, if a parameter specifies a note number or velocity,
you can enter the value by playing on the keyboard. To do
so:
1. Select one of the Key parameters.
2. Hold down the ENTER button.
3. While holding ENTER, play a note on the keyboard.
You can use this shortcut throughout the KRONOS, such as
for setting keyboard and velocity zones, or selecting the note
to edit in Drum Kits, Multisamples, or RPPR setups.
ENTER + LOCATE: Set locate point
This shortcut sets the Sequencer's locate point to the current
measure, beat, and tick, similar to using the Set Location
menu command (see "Set Location (for Locate Key)" on
page 629 of the Parameter Guide).
1. Hold down the ENTER button.
2. While holding ENTER, press the LOCATE key.
After this, pressing LOCATE returns the Song to the newly
set measure, beat, and tick.
ENTER + touch Program name: Edit Program
You can jump directly into the editing pages of a Program
from within a Combination or Song—while still hearing all
of the other Timbres or Tracks.To do so:
1. Go to the P0–1: Prog Select/Mixer page in
Combination mode, or the P0–1: MIDI Track Prog
Select/Mixer page in Sequencer mode.
2. Hold the ENTER button, and then touch the
Program's name in the Timbre or Track.
Front and rear panels Front panel
The system will then display the P0 page for the selected
Program. The front-panel PROG button's LED will blink,
and the COMBI or SEQ LED will remain solidly on, to show
that you are editing the Program in context.
3. Edit as desired.
Eventually, if you want to keep your changes, you'll need to
Write the Program. However, while you're working, you can
go back and forth between the edited Program and the
Combination or Song.
To return to the Combination or Song:
4. Press the front-panel COMBI or SEQ buttons.
For more information, including other ways to move
between the modes, see "Editing Programs from within a
Combination or Song" on page 72.
CONTROL ASSIGN RT KNOBS/KARMA switch (LED
ON) + KARMA MODULE CONTROL switch
In Combination and Sequencer modes, this sets the Module
Control to Master. This is the same as setting Module
Control to M in P0: Control Surface– RT/KARMA.
CONTROL ASSIGN TONE ADJ/EQ switch
(LED ON) + SWITCH 1...16 switches
In Combination and Sequencer modes, you can use a
shortcut to change the current Timbre directly from the
Control Surface, without leaving Tone Adjust mode:
1. Press and hold the TONE ADJ/EQ button.
2. While holding TONE ADJ/EQ, press a MIX
PLAY/MUTE or MIX SELECT button to select a
Timbre.
The PLAY/MUTE buttons select Timbres 1–8, and the
SELECT buttons select Timbres 9–16.
This is the same as the selected Timbre/Track in
TIMBRE/TRACK mode; changing one will also change the
other.
3. Release the TONE ADJ/EQ button.
The Control Surface and screen will change to show the
Tone Adjust parameters for the newly selected Timbre.

main P0 page.
• Press it again to go to the first tab on the main P0 page.
• Press it a third time to select the main parameter on the
P0 page, such as the Program name in Program mode.
Wherever you are in Program, Combi, or Sequencer modes,
pressing EXIT three times (or fewer) will take you back to
Program/Combination/Song Select, where you can
immediately use the numeric keys or
select a Program, Combination, or Song.

the Cancel, Done, or Exit button.
