Synchronizing The Drum Track Function - Korg KROSS Parameter Manual

Synchronizing the Drum Track function

The Trigger "Sync" parameter
The trigger timing of a drum track will depend on the setting of its
Trigger Sync parameter.
On (checked): The trigger timing will be quantized to the nearest
beat relative to the base tempo.
Off (unchecked): If Trigger Mode is Start Immediately,
triggering will occur at the moment you press the DRUM TRACK
button. If this is set to Wait KBD Trig, triggering will occur at the
moment you play the keyboard.
Synchronizing the drum track with the arpeggiator function,
Sequencer mode songs
If you want the Drum Track pattern to play or be recorded in
synchronization with the currently-running arpeggiator function,
or currently-playing song, turn Trigger Sync on.
Trigger Sync Off: If the Trigger Mode setting is Start
Immediately, the Drum Track pattern will be triggered the moment
you press the DRUM TRACK button. If this is set to Wait KBD
Trigger, the Drum Track pattern will be triggered the moment you
play the keyboard. It will not synchronize to the currently-running
arpeggiator function or to the currently-playing song.
Trigger Sync On: Triggering will synchronize to the currently-
playing song at the beginning of the next measure. Triggering will
synchronize to the arpeggiator that's currently running (in
Sequencer mode if the song is stopped) on the next beat.
Note: If you want to synchronize the arpeggiator to the currently-
running Drum Track function, set the Key Sync parameter (P/C/S–
ARP).
Synchronization with song stop
Synchronization with a song in Sequencer mode
• When you press the SEQUENCER
button, the Drum Track function and the sequencer will stop.
• If you want the Drum Track function to start simultaneously
with the beginning of recording, press the DRUM TRACK
button during the pre-count before recording (if the Trigger
Mode is set to Start Immediately) or play the keyboard (if
Trigger Mode is Wait KBD Trig). The Drum Tracks will not
be triggered immediately, but will be triggered in
synchronization with the sequencer the moment recording
starts.
Slave operation
The KROSS's sequencer can be made to run in synchronization
with the clock and realtime commands received from an external
sequencer. Connect the MIDI OUT of your external MIDI device
to the KROSS's MIDI IN, or connect the KROSS's USB port to
your computer's USB port.
Connect the KROSS's MIDI IN to your external MIDI device's
MIDI OUT, or connect the KROSS's USB connector to your
computer's USB port.
Set MIDI Clock (see page 161) to Ext-MIDI or Ext-USB. The
KROSS will synchronize to the MIDI Clock and the realtime
command messages it receives from the connected MIDI device.
Note: If the KROSS is set to MIDI Clock= Auto, it will also
synchronize to the external MIDI device in the same way if MIDI
realtime clock messages are being received from the external
device.
8: S–DRUM TARCK (Drum Track) Synchronizing the Drum Track function
Synchronization to MIDI clock
The arpeggiator will synchronize to the tempo coming from an
external MIDI clock source.
Synchronization with MIDI realtime commands
In Sequencer mode, the KROSS will respond to Song Start,
Continue, and Stop messages that it receives just as it does when
using the front panel SEQUENCER
button to control song playback and recording. The arpeggiator
also will be controlled in the same way. (See "Synchronization
with song stop" above)
Master operation
The KROSS sequencer's clock data and start/stop operations can
be used to synchronize and control an external sequencer.
Connect the KROSS's MIDI OUT to your external MIDI device's
MIDI IN, or connect the KROSS's USB connector to your
computer's USB port.
Set MIDI Clock (G–MIDI> BASIC) to Internal. The connected
external MIDI device will synchronize to the KROSS's MIDI
Clock.
Note: The same applies if MIDI Clock=Auto and MIDI Clock
messages are being transmitted. For details, please see "MIDI
Clock (MIDI Clock Source)" on page 161.
Synchronization via MIDI clock
The connected external MIDI device will synchronize to the MIDI
clock of the KROSS.
