5. SD card
SD card slot
You can insert an SD card here. An SD card can be used to store
KROSS sounds and song data. (see page 25)
Since the SD card is accessed directly when you use the
audio recorder to play or record, an SD card is required
in order to use this functionality.
Note: When using the pad sampler function, we recommend that
you use an SD card. You can use the card to automatically save or
load sample data.
6. 6.MIDI
MIDI IN connector
MIDI OUT connector
MIDI lets you connect the KROSS to a computer or other MIDI
devices, for sending and receiving note data, controller gestures,
sound settings, and so on. (see page 26)
7. Foot controllers
DAMPER jack
An optional DS-1H (damper pedal) can be connected to this jack.
If the optional DS-1H is connected, it will function as a half-
damper pedal. If another switch-type pedal is connected, it will
function as a damper switch.
The DS-1H half-damper pedal allows a finer degree of control
compared to a switch-type pedal. Set the pedal polarity so that the
pedal will function correctly. (see "Connecting a damper pedal"
on page 23)
ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack
An on/off-type foot switch such as the optional PS-1 or PS-3
(pedal switch) can be connected to this jack. You can use a foot
switch to apply modulation to sounds or effects, to set the tap
tempo, or to start/stop the sequencer or to punch-in/out.
The function of the assignable switch is specified by Global/
Media mode settings in the G-INPUT/CTRL> FOOT page, just
as for the assignable pedal. (see "Connecting a foot switch" on
page 23)
ASSIGNABLE PEDAL jack
An optional EXP-2 (foot controller), XVP-10 or XVP-20
(expression pedal) can be connected to this jack. You can use a
pedal to apply modulation to sounds or effects, or to adjust the
overall volume.
The function of the assignable pedal is specified by Global/Media
mode settings in the G-INPUT/CTRL> FOOT page. (see
"Connecting a foot pedal" on page 24)
8. KORG Logo Light
The LED of the KORG logo will light. You can specify the color
of the LED illumination, and whether it is lit or unlit.
