Mixer - Korg KROSS Parameter Manual

Mixer

You can adjust the input level to the master effects by changing the
send level. In each mode, you can adjust output settings for master
effects MFX1 and MFX2 by adjusting the output level and
specifying the chaining (series connection) between the master
effects.
1. Return1, Return2
These adjust the amount of signal that is returned from the master
effects MFX1 and MFX2 outputs to the L/R bus.
The left-side value of the Wet/Dry parameter for the MFX1 or 2
effect is the output level of that master effect. (In other words if
Wet/Dry is 25:75, the output level is 75%. It is 100% if Wet, and
0% if Dry.)
The Wet/Dry value multiplied by the Return1 or Return2 value is
sent to the L/R bus. This sound is then mixed with the oscillator
output "Bus" L/R or the "Bus" L/R output that follows the insert
effect.
For example, with MFX1 Wet/Dry set to 50:50 (50%) and Return1
set to 64 (50%), the resulting effect level will be 25%. The effect
level is maximum (100%) when Wet/Dry is set to "Wet" and
Return1 is set to 127.
2. Chain
If this is On, the master effects will be connected in the order of
master effect 1 → master effect 2.
In the example shown in the preceding page, the output of MFX1:
S64: Stereo Chorus is added to the input of MFX2: 105: Reverb
Hall.
3. Chain Level
This specifies the signal level from MFX1 to MFX2 when "Chain"
is on.

Controlling the Master Effects via MIDI
In the same way as for insert effects, parameters of the master
effects can also be controlled in realtime via Dynamic Modulation
(Dmod) from the KROSS's controllers or an external MIDI device
during performance or from the sequencer.
Program mode
Effect parameters are controlled on the global MIDI channel (see
page 160).
Combination and Sequencer modes
In Combination and Sequencer modes, the control channel for
MFX1 and MFX2 are specified by the Ch (Control Channel)
setting in the MFX1 and 2 pages (see page 92, 134). You can
choose Ch01–16 or Gch.
Ch01–16: Select this option if you wish to control the parameters
for each Master Effect on different channels.
Gch: Select this option if you wish to control the parameters on
the global MIDI channel (see page 160). This is the normal set-
ting.
Note: Since Sequencer mode lets you record and play exclusive
messages and edit tracks that include System Exclusive events,
you can use them to switch effects or modify effect parameter
values during song playback.
