Track Select Track Info (Program Category Icon/Tools Icon)
Here you can create basic settings for MIDI track recording and
playback, and you can select the program that will be used by each
track.
Location
This display shows the current position in the song.
From the left, the numbers are the measure (001–999), beat (01–
16), and clock (000–479). When you modify these values, the
current location will change.
When MIDI Clock (G–MIDI> BASIC) is set to Internal (or
Auto, if no MIDI clocks are being received), the KROSS will
transmit Song Position Pointer messages when the Location
is changed.
Also, if the MIDI Clock parameter is set to External MIDI
(or Auto, if MIDI clocks are currently being received), and
Receive Ext. RT Cmd (Realtime Commands)(G–MIDI>
BASIC) is on, the Location will change in response to
received Song Position Pointer messages.
The range where the beat and clock can be modified will
depend on the currently specified time signature.
Song Select
Select the song that you want to record or play back.
Creating a new song
Execute the Create New Song function. In the dialog box, use Set
Length to specify the number of measures in the song that you
want to create. If necessary, use "Select the number" to specify the
song number that you want to create. Press the OK button. (see
page 137)
Note: If you want to change the length after creating the song,
execute the Set Song Length function in the S–TRACK EDIT
page. When creating a new song, you can specify the length to be
somewhat longer than necessary, and after you have finished
recording and editing, use Set Song Length to specify the correct
length.
A Song Select message is transmitted when you switch songs
on the KROSS. You can switch songs on the KROSS
remotely, by sending a Song Select message from an external
MIDI device.
If Track MIDI Out (G–MIDI> BASIC) is set to "for
Master," and the song is switched, tracks whose track status
(SEQ> PROG) is EXT, EX2, or BOTH will transmit Bank

1/2, Post IFX Pan, and Post IFX Send 1/2 messages on the
MIDI channel of that track. These messages will not be
transmitted if Track MIDI Out is set to "for External Seq."
Tempo Mode
Auto: The tempo will follow the tempo of the tempo track. You'll
be able to specify the tempo either by using the Create/Erase
Control function Tempo (for All) or as described below in
"Changing the tempo." When Auto is selected, it will not be
possible to modify the (Tempo) setting while a song is playing or
recording (or during standby).
Manu (Manual): The (Tempo) setting will be used.
REC: Tempo changes will be recorded on the TempoTrack.
(Tempo)
This specifies the tempo of the song. This tempo applies to song
playback, arpeggiator, drum track, step sequencer, tempo-synced
LFOs, and tempo-synced effects.
040.00...300.00: When the Tempo Mode is Manu (Manual), this
tempo will be used for recording and playback. When Tempo
Mode is REC, this tempo will be recorded on the tempo track.
EXT: This will appear when the MIDI Clock (G–MIDI> BASIC)
is set to either External MIDI, External USB or Auto. The tempo
of the internal sequencer will synchronize with MIDI Clock
messages received from an external sequencer or other MIDI
device.
If MIDI Clock is set to Internal, the above tempo setting
(040.00–300.00) is used. If you've selected Auto, operation will
automatically switch from Internal to External if MIDI Clock data
is received from an external MIDI device. This indication will
appear.
Note: You can also adjust this by using TEMPO in the REALTIME
CONTROLS section.
Note: If you've selected Tempo as an alternate modulation source
or a dynamic modulation source, =120.00 will be the reference.
To record tempo changes
First, set Track Select to a MIDI Track.
Press the SEQUENCER  (REC) button to enter recording-
standby mode, you will be able to select REC.
Set Tempo Mode to REC, start recording, and change the
(Tempo) value. Turn the KNOB 1 (TEMPO) knob in the
TEMPO row of REALTIME CONTROLS to specify the tempo.
You can also change the tempo by repeatedly pressing the
SWITCH button (TAP) at the desired interval.
This cannot be selected when the REC page item Recording
Setup is set to Loop All Tracks.
When you change the (Tempo) value while recording, the tempo
changes will be recorded, causing the tempo to change as the song
progresses.
Tempo changes can also be created using the Event Edit or
Create/Erase Control functions.
Note: If you wish to record only the tempo changes, set
Recording Setup (SEQ> REC) to Overdub, and the tempo will be
recorded on the tempo track without being affected by the musical
data of Track Select.
Loop (Loop All Tracks)
The specified region of measures will repeat during playback or
recording. This is linked with LOOP in the SEQ> REC page. (see
page 108)
On (checked): That track will loop between Loop Start Measure
and Loop End Measure.
Loop Start
Specifies the first measure of the loop.
