Playing Samples - Korg KROSS Operation Manual

Pad Sampler

Playing samples

1. Make sure that the SAMPLER ACTIVE button is lit.
2. Select the sampler bank.
Press the BANK SELECT button to make the BANK
LEDs indicate the bank that you want to select; the
BANK LED blinks. When 1 second has elapsed with the
LED blinking, the switch to that bank is confirmed.
Note: While the BANK LED of the selected bank is still
blinking, the bank switch has not yet been confirmed.
Blinking stops if you select the bank in which you're
currently working.
Note: Data is read when you switch banks. Never remove
the SD card while this is occurring.
3. When you press a lit pad, the sample plays according
to the settings that you specified in "Editing a
sample".
Note: A pad whose sample is currently playing is lit more
brightly than when it is not playing.
Note: The pad sampler can play back up to four samples
simultaneously.
Hold the pad
If you hold down the SAMPLER HOLD button and press
a pad, it remains in the hold state even if you then release
the pad.
Tip: The same result occurs if you hold down a pad and
press the SAMPLER HOLD button.
Note: If sample playback ends while a pad is still in the
hold state, the hold state is cleared for that pad.
Note: If even one pad is in the hold state, the SAMPLER
HOLD button is lit. In this case, you can once again hold
down the SAMPLER HOLD button and press another
pad to simultaneously put it in the hold state. At this time,
you can press and release the SAMPLER HOLD button
to clear the hold state for all pads.
