4. Sing the chorus part. Recording will start
automatically in response to the input.
When you overdub using this method, the audio input from
0.2 seconds earlier than the moment you started recording
will actually be recorded. This lets you overdub without
losing the beginning of the chorus or guitar phrase.
Tip: This Auto (Auto Rec Start) setting can be stored in the
GLOBAL> PREF 2 page as the default setting.

Loop playback

There's a loop playback function that lets you repeatedly
play a specified region (A–B) of an audio song.
Note: The loop play on/off setting and the specified time are
saved individually for each audio song.
This setting will be saved to the SD card when you
switch to a different audio song or when you turn off the
power. If you remove the SD card immediately after
select the setting, the setting will not be saved.
Using loop play
If you add a check mark to LOOP to turn it on, the playback
will loop.
To specify the loop region, set the point where looping will
start (point A) and end (point B).
Note: The interval between points A and B will be at least
three seconds.
It's not possible to record while LOOP has a check
mark. Nor is it possible to add a check mark to LOOP
during recording.
Setting the current time location as a point
There's a convenient function that lets you directly specify
the current time location as one of the points. Move the cursor
to A or B, and press the ENTER button during playback; the
current time location will be specified as a point.
Note: If you use this method to specify the time location of a
point, the location will be specified with an accuracy of
within one second.

Importing or exporting WAVE files

Importing
You can import a WAVE file into the audio recorder, and
play it or overdub onto it.
The following files can be imported.
• File format: WAVE format uncompressed linear PCM
• Sample bit depth: 16-bit
• Sampling frequency: 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, stereo files
Number of characters in file name: The first eight characters
are shown
Note: Since 44.1 kHz WAVE files will be converted into 48
kHz as they are imported into the KROSS, a small amount of
time may be required.
Import procedure
1. Using your computer, copy the WAVE file that you
want to import into the KORG/KROSS2/DATA folder
of an SD card that was formatted by the KROSS.
2. In the audio recorder setup screen, open the audio
song list.
3. The WAVE file that you saved on the SD card in step 1
is shown at the bottom; select the WAVE file that you
want to import, and press ENTER to access the dialog
box.
Note: As an alternative to steps 2 and 3, you can open the
same dialog box by using the MEDIA>FILE page to
select the WAVE file that you want to import, and then
executing the Load Selected function.
4. If you want to rename the song, access the text dialog
box and enter a name.
5. If the volume of the file you're importing should be
adjusted beforehand, specify Level Adjust.
Note: After importing, you can adjust the playback
volume of the audio recorder, or apply an individual
volume adjustment to each audio song. (see "Adjusting
the volume" on page 106)
6. Press the MENU (OK) button to execute the import
function.
The selected WAVE file will be loaded in KROSS audio
song format. The progress of execution is shown by a
progress bar in the display.
Note: This may take some time depending on the type of
file, etc.
During the import procedure, you can cancel by pressing
the FUNCTION (ABORT) button.
7. In the audio recorder setup window, select the song
that you imported, and play it.
