Rear Panel - Korg KROSS Operation Manual

Introduction to the KROSS

Rear panel

1. Power supply
Be sure to see the "Turning the power on/off" section on page 17
and follow the correct procedure described there.
Note: The KROSS has an auto power-off function that
automatically turns off the power when the keyboard or front
panel buttons have not been used for a certain length of time.
With the factory settings, this is set to 4 hours. (see "Auto power-
off function" on page 18)
(Power) button
To turn the power on or off, hold down the power button. (see
page 17)
DC 9V jack
The included AC adapter is connected here. (see page 17)
Connections must be made with the power turned off.
Please be aware that careless operation may damage
your speaker system or cause malfunctions.
Cord hook
Use this to secure the cord of the included AC adapter. After
connecting the AC adapter, loop the cord around the hook that's
located on rear panel so that the cord won't get pulled out
inadvertently. Leave enough slack on the plug end so that you can
disconnect it if you want to. (see page 17)
Be careful not to bend the base of the plug any more
than necessary.
2. Audio output
OUTPUT L/MONO, R jacks
These are stereo audio outputs. For stereo connections, use the L/
MONO and R jacks. For monaural connections, use the L/MONO
jack. Use the VOLUME knob to adjust the volume. (see
"Connecting your output devices" on page 21)
(Headphone) jack
Connect the 1/8" stereo mini-phone plug of your headphones
here. This jack outputs the same signal as the OUTPUT L/
MONO and R jacks.
The headphone volume is controlled by the VOLUME knob.
Note: The headphone jack of the KROSS 88-key model is located
on the front of the unit at the left.

3. Audio input
This jack lets you input audio from an external source; the audio
can be recorded on the audio recorder or pad sampler, or sent
through the internal effects and output via the OUTPUT jacks.
To adjust the input gain (Gain) etc., use REALTIME
CONTROLS - AUDIO IN 1 - KNOB1:GAIN.(You can also
adjust these settings in the AUDIO IN page of each mode.)
The input gain (Gain) can be saved as a global setting
(G-SET). (see "Global audio input settings (G-SET) and
individual settings" on page 22)
Note: The input signals from the MIC IN jack and the LINE IN
jack cannot be used simultaneously. To select the input that will
be used, choose the REALTIME CONTROLS setting AUDIO IN
2 and use the SWITCH (MIC/LINE) button.
For more about connections and settings, please see "Connecting
your input devices" on page 21.
MIC IN jack (1/4" phone type)
This is a 1/4" phone jack. You can connect a dynamic mic, an
active-type guitar, or a guitar effect unit.
Note: This jack does not support condenser mics or other mics that
require phantom power or plug-in power. Such types of mic must
be connected via a mic preamp or appropriate device.
LINE IN jack (stereo mini type)
This is an 1/8" stereo mini phone jack. Connect it to the output
jack of your audio device or external audio source.

You can connect your computer to this port. Note data and other
performance data, as well as sound settings, can be transmitted
