MIDI channels
MIDI messages can be exchanged when the transmitting and
receiving devices are set to the same MIDI channel. MIDI uses
sixteen channels, numbered 1–16. The way that channels are
handled will differ depending on the mode.
Program mode
• Other than transmission for the Drum Track function, Step
Sequencer function, and Pad Sampler function, all messages are
transmitted and received on the global MIDI channel.
The global MIDI channel is the basic channel that the KROSS
uses for MIDI transmission/reception, and is set by MIDI
Channel (see page 160).
• The Drum Track function in Program mode will transmit and
receive on the following MIDI channels.
Receive: Global MIDI channel.
Transmit: The MIDI channel specified by the Drum Track
Prog MIDI Out (see page 162) setting (default: channel 10).
Note: Transmission is enabled if Drum Track Prog MIDI Out
(G–MIDI> OUT) is checked. By default, this is off
(unchecked).
• The Pad Sampler function in Program mode transmits and
receives on the following MIDI channel.
Transmit/Receive: The MIDI channel specified by the Pad
Sampler Prog MIDI Ch (default: channel 15)
Note: Transmission is enabled if the Pad Sampler: Prog MIDI
Out setting is checked. By default, this is off (unchecked).
• Step sequencer functions in Program mode are transmitted and
received using the following MIDI channel.
Transmission and reception: The MIDI channel specified by
"Step Seq Prog MIDI Ch" (see page 162) (default: channel
16)
Note: Transmission is enabled if Step Seq "Prog MIDI Out" (see
page 162) is selected. By default, this is off (not selected).
Note: Reception is enabled if the "Assign Inst to Tone" function's
dialog box is open. The drum program of the step sequencer will
sound.
Combination mode
• The global MIDI channel is used to transmit/ receive messages
for selecting a combination and turning effects on/off, and to
transmit/receive exclusive data.
• Each timbre will transmit/receive MIDI data on the MIDI
Channel (see page 77) that is specified for that timbre.
• The Drum Track function will transmit and receive on the
following MIDI channels.
Receive: Global MIDI channel. The KROSS's keyboard will
control triggering.
Transmit: The MIDI channel specified by the Drum Pattern
Output (see page 87) setting of each combination. Set this to
match the MIDI channel of a timbre to which a drum program
is assigned.
• The Pad Sampler function operates on timbre 15 if the Pad
Sampler On/Off parameter is checked. Transmission and
reception occur on the MIDI Channel that is specified for
timbre 15.
MIDI applications Messages transmitted and received by the KROSS
• The step sequencer will use timbre 16 if the STEP SEQ On/
Off parameter is selected. Transmission and reception will use
the MIDI Channel (see page 160) specified for timbre 16.
• The MIDI channel specified for each effect (see page 77) is
used to control dynamic modulation of the insert/master effect,
the pan following the insert effect, and send 1 and 2.
• When you use the keyboard or controllers of the KROSS,
messages will be transmitted on the global MIDI channel, and
will also be transmitted on the MIDI channel of any timbre
whose Status (see page 71) is set to EXT or EX2.
• Channel messages will be received if they match the MIDI
channel of a timbre whose Status is set to INT.
Sequencer mode
• The global MIDI channel is used to transmit/ receive exclusive
data and for messages that switch effects on/off.
• MIDI data transmission/reception for each MIDI track will
occur on the MIDI channel specified for each MIDI track by
MIDI Channel.
• The Drum Track function will transmit and receive on the
following MIDI channels.
Receive: The MIDI channel specified by the Drum Pattern
Input (see page 128) setting of each song. You will normally
set this to Tch and use the KROSS's keyboard to control trig-
gering.
Transmit: The MIDI channel specified by the Drum Pattern
Output (see page 128) setting of each song. Set this to match
the MIDI channel of the MIDI track to which a drum pattern is
assigned.
• The Pad Sampler function operates on timbre 15 if the Pad
Sampler On/Off parameter is checked. Transmission and
reception occur on the MIDI Channel that is specified for
timbre 15.
• The step sequencer will use track 16 if the STEP SEQ On/Off
parameter is selected. Transmission and reception will use the
MIDI Channel (see page 116) specified for track 16.
• The MIDI channel specified for each effect by the Ch
parameter (S–IFX) is used to control dynamic modulation of the
insert/master effect, the pan following the insert effect, and send
1 and 2.
• When you use the keyboard or controllers of the KROSS,
messages will be transmitted on the MIDI channel selected by
Track Select (SEQ>MAIN). However, messages will be
transmitted only if the selected MIDI track has a Status of
BTH, EXT, or EX2. For more information, please see the
"Track Select" section on page 104.
• When the sequencer is played back, musical data of MIDI
tracks where the Status is set to BTH, EXT, or EX2 will be
transmitted on the specified MIDI channels.
• MIDI tracks where the Status is set to INT or BTH will receive
channel messages of the matching MIDI channel. For more
information, please see "MIDI Channel" on page 116, and
"MIDI Channel" on page 116.
Note on/off
Note-on [9n, kk, vv]
Note-off [8n, kk, vv]
(n: channel, kk: note number, vv: velocity)
When you play a note on the KROSS's keyboard, it will transmit
note-on/off messages.
When the arpeggiator is running, note-on/off messages generated
by the arpeggiator are transmitted. If Local is Off, note-on/off
messages generated by the arpeggiator will not be transmitted. (see
"Local Control On settings" on page 312)
When the Drum Track function (Program mode) is operating,
note-on/off data of the drum track pattern is transmitted if the
