Sampling in Program and Combination modes

Overview

In addition to using Sample mode, you can also sample both
external audio sources and internal sounds in Program,
Combination, and Sequencer modes.
For instance, you can resample a performance that uses the
KRONOS's full range of features, including filters, effects,
Drum Track, and KARMA. You can even sample a full,
multitimbral sequence, played either from the internal
sequencer or an external MIDI sequencer.

Resampling a KARMA phrase in Program mode

You can resample the sound of a program or combination
being played by yourself or by KARMA.
In this example, we'll explain how to sample a KARMA-
generated phrase in Program mode. You can sample in a
similar way in Combination or Sequencer modes as well.
1. Press the PROG button to enter Program mode, and
select the program that you want to resample.
2. Turn on KARMA (KARMA ON/OFF switch lit), play
the keyboard, and verify that a phrase is generated.
3. Press the Audio In/Sampling tab to go to the P0: Play–
Audio Input/Sampling page.
Make the following settings.
– Audio Input –
"Use Global Setting": Off
Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.): Off
Turn all external inputs Off.
– RECORDING LEVEL–
Recording Level: 0.0
This is the default setting for resampling.
– Sampling Setup –
Source Bus: L/R
The sound sent to the L/R bus will be resampled.
"Trigger": Note On
Sampling will start the moment you play the keyboard.
"Save to": RAM
Sampling will occur to RAM memory.
"Mode": Stereo
The sound of the internal L/R channels will be sampled in
stereo.
Tip: The KRONOS will automatically make the above
settings for you if you execute the "Auto Sampling
Setup– Resample Program Play" page menu command.
In addition, it will also assign the Multisample to a new
Program after you've finished resampling. For more
information, see "Auto Sampling Setup" on page 157.
4. Adjust the recording level.
Press the SAMPLING REC switch and use the
Recording Level slider to adjust the level.
Play with KARMA turned on, and use the VALUE slider
to adjust the Recording Level slider as high as possible
without allowing the "CLIP!" indication to appear.

You can also sample the KRONOS's performance together
with audio from an external input source, or monitor the
performance of the KRONOS's KARMA function and
sequencer etc. while you sample only the external audio
from the input jacks.
When you've finished making adjustments, press the
SAMPLING REC switch.
Press the KARMA ON/OFF switch to turn KARMA off.
5. Sample.
Press the KARMA ON/OFF switch to turn it on.
Press the SAMPLING REC switch.
Press the SAMPLING START/STOP switch to put the
KRONOS in record-ready mode.
Play the keyboard.
Recording will start the moment you play the keyboard.
While recording continues, all the sound you produce
using the keyboard or controllers will be recorded.
Press the SAMPLING START/STOP switch to stop
recording.
6. Listen to the sound you resampled.
Go to the Sampling P0: Recording– Recording page.
Press the SAMPLING button, then the EXIT switch, and
then the Recording tab in the upper line of the LCD
screen.
Use "Multisample Select" to select the multisample that
you resampled.
Play the C2 key to hear the resampled sound.
7. If you want to convert this multisample into a
program, choose the "Convert MS To Program" page
menu command, select the desired program, and
execute the conversion.
