Note-On (Note-On Control) - Korg KROSS Parameter Manual

Program mode
Unison
On (checked): When Unison is on, the Program uses two or more
stacked, detuned voices to create a thick sound.
Use the Number of Voices and Detune parameters to set the
number of voices and amount of detuning, and the Thickness
parameter to control the character of the detuning.
Off (unchecked): The Program plays normally.
Number of Voices
Number of Voices is available when Unison is On.
This controls the number of detuned voices that will be played for
each note when using Unison. It applies only when Unison is On.
Detune
Detune is available when Unison is On.
This parameter sets the tuning spread for the Unison voices, in
cents (1/100 of a semitone). The Thickness parameter, below,
controls how the voices are distributed across the detune amount.
When Thickness is Off, the voices are distributed evenly, centered
around the basic pitch.
For instance, let's say that the Number of voices parameter is set
to 3, Detune is set to 24, and Thickness is Off:
Voice one will be detuned down by 12 cents, voice two will not be
detuned, and voice three will be detuned up by 12 cents.

As another example, let's say that Detune is still set to 24 and
Thickness is still Off, but the Number of voices is set to 4:
Voice one will still be detuned down by 12 cents, voice two will be
detuned down by 4 cents, voice three will be detuned up by 4
cents, and voice 4 will be detuned up by 12 cents.

Thickness
Thickness is available when Unison is On.
This parameter controls the character of the detuning for the
unison voices.
Off: Unison voices will be evenly distributed across the Detune
range, as shown above.
01–09: Unison voices will be detuned in an asymmetric way,
increasing the complexity of the detune amount, and changing the
way that the different pitches beat against one another. This creates
an effect similar to vintage analog synthesizers, where oscillators
would frequently drift slightly out of tune. Higher numbers
increase the effect.

2–2: Note-On (Note-On Control)
Here you can adjust the following settings.
• Make keyboard split settings for OSC1, OSC2, and Hold.
• Enable/disable the half-damper function.
• Specify the timing of the notes played from the keyboard.
OSC (Oscillator Select)
Select the oscillator (1 or 2) that you want to edit.
Note: Oscillator 2 can be selected if Oscillator Mode is set to
Double.
To edit parameters such as the pitch, filter, or amp of oscillator 1 or
oscillator 2, use the cursor buttons to select [OSC: 1/2], and use
the ENTER button or the VALUE dial to select the oscillator that
you want to edit.
Key Zone – Bottom/Top
You can create keyboard splits by setting top and bottom key
limits for Oscillators 1 and 2. Also, you can control the keyboard
range where the Hold parameter takes effect.
Note values and velocity values can also be entered using the
keyboard. (see page 13 of the Operation Guide)
Key Zone Bottom
This sets the lowest key where the Oscillator will play.
Key Zone Top
This sets the highest key where the Oscillator will play.
Note-On Control
Delay
This specifies the amount of time from when you press a key until
the oscillator actually begins to sound.
This is most useful in Double Programs, for delaying one
oscillator in relation to the other.
KeyOff is a special setting. Instead of delaying the sound by a
particular amount of time, the sound will play as soon as you
release the key.
You can use this to produce the "click" sound that is heard each
time you release a key of a harpsichord.
In general, when you use the KeyOff setting, it's also best to set
the oscillator's Amp EG Sustain Level to 0.
Mode
Normally, you play notes simply by pressing keys on the
keyboard. In special cases, however, you can set this parameter so
that you must first be holding down the damper pedal, and then
press a key, in order to play a note. For instance, this can be useful
when modeling the behavior of a piano soundboard.
Key is the normal mode.
When you select Key + Damper, notes will only sound if the
damper pedal is being held down. When the damper pedal is
released, all notes will be stopped even if they are still being held
down.
