Connecting Foot Controllers - Korg KROSS Operation Manual

The AUDIO IN -QUICK SETTING- dialog box can be
opened from the FUNCTION (QUICK SETTING) button
shown in the lower left when you operate an audio-related
parameter in REALTIME CONTROLS.
In the upper left, [G-SET], [PROG] (or [COMBI], [SEQ])
indicate whether the global settings (G-SET) or the
individual settings are specified.
Global setting (G-SET)
Individual setting (PROG, COMBI, SEQ)
The global setting dialog box contains a PAGE+ (WRITE G-
SET) button; by pressing this button you can save the edited
settings as global settings. For individual settings, press the
MENU (DONE) button to close the dialog box, and use the
appropriate Write function to save the settings. For details on
how to save, please see "Writing a Program or Combination"
on page 122.
Only in the case of input gain (Gain), the global
setting (G-SET) and the individual setting are
shared. Use the global setting (G-SET) to save the
setting. Although you can edit this in the AUDIO IN
page or the QUICK SETTING dialog box of each
mode, you can't save it as an individual setting
(PROG, COMBI, SEQ).
To create individual settings
In addition to using the AUDIO IN -QUICK SETTING-
dialog box, you can also adjust this setting in the INPUT/
CTRL> AUDIO IN page of each mode. For a program,
combination, or MIDI song that uses G-SET, the upper left
of the screen will show the G-SET indication selected. By
clearing this selection you can adjust individual settings.

Connecting foot controllers

If you connect an optional damper pedal, foot switch, or foot
pedal, you'll be able to control the KROSS using your feet.
Connecting a damper pedal
When you press the damper pedal, the notes you've pressed
will be sustained so that they will continue even after you
take your hands off the keyboard. This is also called a
sustain pedal; it has the same function as the damper pedal of
an acoustic piano.
If the optional Korg DS-1H damper is connected, you'll be
able to take advantage of the "half-damper" effect, where the
depth that you press the pedal will vary the amount of
damper that's applied. If any other type of pedal is
connected, it will function as a damper switch.
In Combination or Sequencer mode, you can also select
settings so that the damper will be applied to some sounds
but not to other sounds.
1. Connect a Korg DS-1H damper pedal to the
DAMPER jack.
2. Set the polarity of the switch.
In the G-INPUT/CTRL> FOOT page, set the Damper
Polarity parameter.
If you're using the DS-1H, choose the (–) KORG
Standard setting. With the factory settings, (–) KORG
Standard is selected. If the operation is inverted when you
use a foot switch other than the DS-1H, simply set the
polarity to the (+) setting.
Note: The half-damper sensitivity is adjusted to a standard
value when the KROSS is shipped from the factory. If the
half-damper pedal you're using does not respond
appropriately, please adjust the sensitivity. (see page 177 of
the Parameter Guide)
Connecting a foot switch
This lets you use a simple foot switch, such as the Korg PS-1
or PS-3, as an assignable controller. The foot switch can
perform a wide variety of functions, such as:
• Selecting programs or favorites
• An assignable source for modulating sounds and effects
• Portamento on/off
• Sequencer start/stop or punch in/out
• Starting, pausing, and stopping audio recorder playback
or recording
• Tap Tempo
• Arpeggiator on/off
• Switch the Drum Track on/off
• Step sequencer RUN on/off
• Use various KROSS controls (modulation wheel, SW1/
SW2, etc.)
This button will always function in the same way regardless
of the Program, Combination, or Song you've selected. You
can assign the function in the Global/Media mode.
