Controlling The Insert Effects Via Midi - Korg KROSS Parameter Manual

• In Combination or Sequencer modes, the "Send 1" and "Send
2" settings of each timbre/track will specify the send levels to
the master effects.
Send1 responds to CC#93 and Send2 responds to CC#91.

Controlling the Insert Effects via MIDI

Using the Dynamic Modulation (Dmod) function enables you to
control all effect parameters in real-time during performance from
the controllers of the KROSS or a connected MIDI sequencer. You
can also control the "Pan(CC#8)," "Send1," and "Send2" parame-
ters in the same way.
Program mode
You can control the parameters on the global MIDI channel (see
page 160).
Combination mode
The IFX1–IFX5 pages lets you specify the control channel "Ch"
(Control Channel) for IFX1–IFX5. You can choose from CH01–
16, Gch, or All-R (All Routed).
Ch01–16: Select this when you want to control each insert effect
from a different channel.
Gch: Select this option if you wish to control the parameters on
the global MIDI channel. This is a common setting.
All-R: You can control the effect via any channel specified for a
timbre that's routed to that insert effect.
If you've selected a drum program for a Combination mode
timbre or a Sequencer mode track, and set its "Bus" to DKit,
the MIDI channel of that timbre/track will be valid if any one
of IFX1–5 is set to All-R, regardless of the drum kit's "Bus"
(see page 173) setting or the "DKit IFX Patch" setting.
Sequencer mode
Use "Ch" parameters (see page 134) of the IFX1 – IFX5 pages to
set up the control channels for IFX1–IFX5. Select an appropriate
option from Ch01–16 and All Routed.
Ch01–16: Select this when you want to control each insert effect
from a different channel.
All R: Select this option to control the parameters on all the chan-
nels that are routed to the corresponding Insert Effects. All R is a
typical option. If you wish to control the parameters on a single
channel, you may select it from Ch01–16.
Note: Since exclusive messages can be recorded in Sequencer
mode, you can use them to automatically switch effects or modify
effect parameter values during the song playback.
Master Effects (MFX1, 2) Controlling the Insert Effects via MIDI
Master Effects (MFX1, 2)
In/Out
The I/Os of Master Effects MFX1 and MFX2 are stereo-in/stereo-
out. "Send1" and "Send2" determine the send level to the Master
Effects. (For Send1 and 2, see "Routing" and "Mixer.")
Master effects will not output the Dry (unprocessed) signal speci-
fied in Wet/Dry. Only the Wet (processed) signal will be output.
The output signals from the Master Effects are routed to the L/R
bus with the output level specified by Return1 and Return2.
Selecting "000: No Effect" will mute the output. The processed
signal will be output in one of the following ways, according to
the type of effects 001–134.
Mono In - Mono Out
Wet Mono In - Stereo Out
Stereo In - Stereo Out
Input/output variations for each effect are shown in upper left of
the block diagrams starting on page 217.
In each mode, the MFX-MFX1 and MFX2 "On/Off" parameters
turn the master effects on/off. When off, the output is muted in the
same way as 000: No Effect.
Tips: An easy way to disable the master effects is to select
EFFECT in REALTIME CONTROLS, and turn off MASTER FX.
MFX1/2 will be temporarily disabled; the master effects will
remain off even if you switch programs or modes. When you turn
the button on, the master effects will be enabled, and the effects
specified by the program or combination will be obtained.
Note: The MASTER FX setting in the EFFECT row of
REALTIME CONTROLS is linked with the GLOBAL>SYSTM
page's Effect SW "MFX" setting.(see page 157)
You can turn MFX1 and MFX2 off by receiving MIDI
control change CC#94. A value of 0 turns the effect off; a
value of 1–127 returns it to the previous setting. Use the
global MIDI channel "Channel" (see page 160) to control
this.
Double-size effects
Double-size effects (D00: St.Mltband Limiter– D13: Early Reflec-
tions) use twice as much space as other effects.
You can use a double-size effect for master effect MFX1. If
you've selected a double-size effect, MFX2 won't be available for
use.
