About the AUDIO IN
The external audio input settings in this page are active when the
front panel REALTIME CONTROLS section AUDIO IN 1 row's
SWITCH (ON/OFF) button is on.
G-SET (Use Global Setting)
On (checked): The general settings in the GLOBAL mode G–
INPUT/CTRL page will be used as the external audio input
settings. If you want to use the same external input for multiple
programs, it is convenient to turn this On (checked) for each
program, and make adjustments in GLOBAL mode.
Off (unchecked): The Line or Mic settings you make in this page
will be used.
Since this allows you to save external audio input settings that are
appropriate for a specific program, it is convenient to use this
setting in conjunction with the appropriate audio input settings, for
example when you're saving a program as a vocoder effect
program. ("Example: Vocoder (Program)" on page 209)
Select
Selects the external input jack that will be used.
Line: LINE IN jack (line level, stereo)
Mic: MIC IN jack (mic level, monaural)
You can adjust the following parameters individually for LINE
and MIC.
You can't use the Line input and Mic input simultaneously.
Pan
If the Select parameter is set to Mic, this lets you adjust the pan
settings of the external audio signal that's being input from the
MIC IN jack. C064 pans the sound to the center.
You can't specify this for the Line input. Its stereo panning is fixed.
Input Level Meter
Indicates the level of the external audio that's being input to the
KROSS.
If the input is overloaded, the [LINE] or [MIC] indicators in
the middle of the level meter will be highlighted. Adjust the
Gain of the input stage or the Level parameter that follows
the AD converter.
Level
This specifies the level of the external audio signal that's being
input. Normally you'll leave this at 127.
The analog audio signal from the LINE IN or MIC IN jack is
converted into a digital signal by the AD converter. This Level
parameter adjusts the amount of signal immediately after it is
converted into digital; if the audio input is distorted, see "Solving
distortion caused by input overload."

Solving distortion caused by input overload
If the audio input is too loud, the sound may be distorted.
If the [LINE] or [mic] indication in the Input Level Meter is
highlighted, distortion is occurring in the input stage. Adjust the
Gain parameter or the volume of your connected device so that this
indication is not highlighted.
If there is distortion even though this indication is not highlighted,
it may be that an effect of the KROSS is causing the distortion.
Adjust the Level parameter to lower the signal level, or adjust the
effect settings (such as the Input Trim parameter).
Mute/Play
This specifies whether the external audio input signal will be
silenced (muted) or audible.
Mute: The audio input will be silenced (muted).
Play: The audio input will be heard.
Note: Even if this is set to Play, the input sound will not be heard if
the REALTIME CONTROLS section AUDIO IN 1 row SWITCH
button (ON/OFF) is off (unlit).
Gain
This adjusts the level of the external audio input signal at the input
stage. See "Solving distortion caused by input overload."
The input gain setting (Gain) is shared by the global setting
(G-SET on) and the individual setting (G-SET off). To save
the setting, select the setting in Global mode and then use the
Write Global Setting function to save it. 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 (G-SET off) for a program, combination, or song.
Bus (Bus Select)
Specifies the output bus for the external audio signal.
L/R: The external audio input signal is output to the L/R bus.
IFX1...5: The external audio input signal is output to the IFX1–5
bus. Use this setting if you want to apply insert effects to the input
signal.
Off: The external audio signal is not output to any bus.
Send1
Send2
Specify the send levels where the external audio input signal is
sent to the master effects. Use these when you want to apply
chorus or delay/reverb to the Mic input sound.
Send1 sends the signal to master effect 1.
Send2 sends the signal to master effect 2.
If Bus (Bus Select) is set to IFX1–5, the send levels to the master
effects are set by the Send1 and Send2 parameters (see page 58)
after the signal passes through IFX1–5. (see page 61)
FX Control Bus
This outputs the external audio input signal to the FX Control bus
(stereo two-channel FX Ctrl1, 2). (see page 209)
