G–Midi - Korg KROSS Parameter Manual

Global/Media mode
1: G–MIDI
1–1: BASIC (MIDI Basic)
Here you can adjust MIDI-related settings that affect the entire
KROSS.
Note: To transmit a MIDI exclusive dump data, you'll use the
functions of this G–MIDI page.
MIDI Channel (Global MIDI Channel)
Sets the global MIDI channel.
The global MIDI channel is used in the following cases.
• When transmitting and receiving performance data in Program
mode (PROG> MAIN).
• When selecting combinations via MIDI in Combination mode
(COMBI> MAIN).
• When triggering the drum track (with Trigger Mode set to Wait
KBD Trig) in Program or Combination mode.
• When controlling timbres or effects that have been set to Gch in
various modes
• When transmitting and receiving System Exclusive messages
MIDI received
In Program mode (PROG> MAIN), MIDI data is received on the
global MIDI channel, but in Combination mode (COMBI> MAIN)
or Sequencer mode, MIDI data is received on the MIDI channel
specified for each timbre or track.
In Combination mode (COMBI> MAIN), program changes
received on the global MIDI channel will switch the combination
(G–MIDI> FILTER).
Use the global MIDI channel to switch IFX 1–5 (CC#92) and
MFX1&2 (CC#94) on/off.
To control the pan, sends 1/2 following IFX and MFX, use the
global MIDI channel when in the Program mode; while in the
Combination, or Sequencer modes, use the channel specified
separately by Ch (Control Channel) for IFX1–5 and MFX1&2.
By setting Ch (Control Channel) to Gch, you can control these
parameters from the global MIDI channel.
MIDI output when playing the KROSS
In Program mode, this data will be transmitted on the global MIDI
channel. In Combination mode, data will be transmitted
simultaneously on the global MIDI channel and on the MIDI
channels of timbres whose Status (COMBI> PROG) is set to EXT
or EX2.
In Sequencer mode, musical data will be transmitted on the
channel specified for the currently selected track (whose Status is
BTH, EXT, or EX2).
Note Receive (Note Receive Filter)
This setting specifies whether even-numbered, odd-numbered, or
all note numbers will be sounded when note data is received from
the KROSS's keyboard or from an external MIDI device. By
connecting the KROSS to another KROSS and setting one
instrument to Even and the other to Odd, you can effectively
double the polyphony by dividing the notes between the two
instruments.
160
All: All note numbers will be received. Normally you will leave
this set to All.
Even: Even-numbered notes (C, D, E, F#, G#, A#) will sound.
Odd: Odd-numbered notes (C#, D#, F, G, A, B) will sound.
This setting has no effect on the MIDI data that is received.

Convert Position
[1...16]
This setting specifies the location where the Transpose and
Velocity Curve settings will be applied. This setting will affect the
MIDI data that is transmitted and received, and the data that is
recorded on the internal sequencer.
When using the KROSS's keyboard to play the internal tone
generator, the Transpose, Velocity Curve, and aftertouch Curve
settings will always take effect regardless of this setting.
PreMIDI: Velocity Curve, and Transpose will be applied to the
data that is transmitted from the KROSS's keyboard.
This means that the Velocity Curve, and Transpose settings will
affect the data that is transmitted from MIDI OUT when the
KROSS's keyboard is played, and the data that is recorded on the
internal sequencer.
MIDI data received from MIDI IN or the data played back by the
internal sequencer will not be affected.
KROSS
PostMIDI: Velocity Curve, aftertouch Curve, and Transpose will
be applied to data before it enters the tone generator.
This means that the Velocity Curve, aftertouch Curve, and
Transpose settings will affect the data that is sent to the internal
tone generator when you play the KROSS's keyboard, when the
internal sequencer is played back, or when data is received from
MIDI IN.
This setting will not affect the data that is transmitted from MIDI
OUT or recorded on the internal sequencer when you play the
KROSS's keyboard or play back the sequence.
KROSS
[All, Even, Odd]
Local Control On
Local Control On (checked): The KROSS's keyboard, pitch
bend wheel, modulaion wheel, SW1, and SW2 will control the
KROSS's sound generator. Leave this setting checked if you're
playing the KROSS by itself.
Local Control Off (unchecked): The KROSS's keyboard, pitch
bend wheel, modulation wheel, SW1, and SW2 will be
disconnected from the KROSS's sound generator.
