arpeggio will begin at the moment you play the
keyboard, or whether it will always play in
synchronization to the MIDI clock tempo.

beginning when you press a key. This setting is suitable
when you want the arpeggio to start from the beginning
of the measure as you are playing in realtime.

MIDI clock timing.
Sounding both the arpeggio notes and the notes you
play

Using the arpeggiator while you play Using the arpeggiator in Combination mode
Specifying the zone where the arpeggiator
will function
In P-ARP> SCAN ZONE page you can specify the range of
notes (keys) and velocities where the arpeggiator will
function.
Using the arpeggiator in
Combination mode
In Combination mode the KROSS provides dual arpeggiators,
allowing you to run two arpeggio patterns simultaneously.
1. In Combination mode, select a combination. (see
"Selecting Combinations" on page 45)
2. Each time you press the ARP button, the arpeggiator
will turn on or off.
Tip: As you select various combinations, you'll notice
that the ARP button LED will light up for some
combinations. (see "Linking the arpeggiator to programs
or combinations" on page 77)
3. If the arpeggiator is on, an arpeggio will start playing
when you play the keyboard.
In some combinations or songs, depending on the
arpeggiator A and B settings, the arpeggiator might not
start even if you turn on the ARP and play the keyboard.
(see page 77)
4. In REALTIME CONTROLS, select TEMPO and use
the KNOB 1 knob (TEMPO) or the SWITCH button
(TAP) to adjust the tempo.
The ARP button and the KNOB 1 (TEMPO) knob and
SWITCH (TAP) button in the TEMPO row of
REALTIME CONTROLS apply to both arpeggiators A
and B. Their state is saved when the combination is
written.
