Selecting Combinations; Pitch Bend - Korg KROSS Parameter Manual

Appendices
Global/Media mode G-MIDI>OUT page DrumTrack setting Prog
MIDI Out is checked.
When the Step Sequencer function is operating, note-on/off data of
the step sequencer pattern is transmitted if the Global/Media mode
G-MIDI>OUT page Step Seq setting Prog MIDI Out is checked
and the Combination mode or Sequencer mode STEP (STEP SEQ
On/Off) is ON.
Note: If you turn off a key that is not selected by Group in the step
sequencer function Assign Inst to Tone dialog box, and which
therefore does not produce sound, the note-off will be transmitted
with a velocity value of zero.
When the Pad Sampler function is operating, note-on/off data of
the pad performance is transmitted if the Global/Media mode G-
MIDI>OUT page Pad Sampler setting Prog MIDIOut is checked
and SMP (PAD SAMPLER On/Off) is ON.
However, most instruments do not receive or transmit note-off
velocity, and neither does the KROSS.
Program Change/Bank Select
Changing the program/bank
Program change [Cn, pp]
(n: channel, pp: program number that allows 128 sounds to be
selected)
• Programs 000–127 in banks A–U correspond to program
changes [Cn, 00]–[Cn, 7F].
• Programs 001–128 in banks GM, g(1), g(2), g(3), g(4), g(5),
g(6), g(7), g(8), g(9), and g(d) correspond to program changes
[Cn, 00]–[Cn, 7F].
Bank select MSB (CC#0) [Bn, 00, mm]
Bank select LSB (CC#32) [Bn, 20, bb]
(n: channel, mm: bank number upper byte, bb: bank number lower
byte)
• The internal banks that correspond to each bank select number
will depend on the Bank Map setting (GLOBAL> PREF).
KORG is the default setting. For more information, please see
the "Bank Map" section on page 158.
Simply receiving a Bank Select message will not cause the
program or bank to change. The program or bank will actually
change when a Program Change message is received.
Program mode
• In PROG> MAIN–ARP pages, these messages will transmit
and receive program change and bank select operations. They
will not be received in other peges.
Note: Drum track programs and Step sequencer progarams do not
support transmission or reception of program change or bank
select messages.
Combination, Sequencer modes
• Program change and bank select messages can be received on
the MIDI channel specified for each timbre/MIDI track to select
programs on that timbre/track.
• When you select a combination, program change and bank
select messages will be transmitted by timbres where the Status
is EXT or EX2.
In Sequencer mode, program change or bank select messages
will be transmitted by tracks where the Status is BTH, EXT, or
EX2 when you select the Program Select parameter, when you
select a song, or when you return to the beginning of a mea-
sure. For more information, please see the "PIANO...USER:
000...127]" section on page 105.
• In Combination and Sequencer modes, transmission/reception
can be switched on/off for each timbre/track. See "Enable
Program Change" on page 82, and Global/Media mode G–
MIDI> OUT "Track MIDI Out" on page 162.

Selecting combinations

You can use program change and bank select messages to select
combinations in the same way that you select programs.
• Combinations 000–127 in banks A–U correspond to program
changes [Cn, 00]–[Cn, 7F].
• Similarly as for program banks, the internal banks that
correspond to each bank select number will depend on the
Bank Map setting. For more information, please see the "Bank
Map" section on page 158.
• In COMBI> MAIN–ARP pages, program change and bank
select messages are transmitted/received on the global MIDI
channel. They are not received in other peges.
Note: All program changes can be turned off in MIDI Filter (see
page 82).
As needed, you can independently turn all program changes on/
off, specify whether or not incoming messages will be able to
change combinations, and turn reception/transmission of bank
select messages on/off.
• If Combination Change (see page 163) is unchecked, the
combination will not change even if a program change on the
global MIDI channel is received in COMBI page. In this case,
the program of the timbre that matches the MIDI channel of the
received message will change.
• If Bank Select (see page 163) is unchecked, bank select
messages will not be transmitted or received.
Aftertouch
Channel aftertouch [Dn, vv]
(n: channel, vv: value)
When this message is received, the aftertouch effect will be
applied. The assigned alternate modulation or dynamic modulation
effect will also be applied.
The keyboard of the KROSS itself cannot transmit
aftertouch. Aftertouch can be received only from the internal
sequencer or from MIDI IN.
• Aftertouch reception for the entire instrument can be turned on/
off in Enable After Touch. (see page 163)
• In Combination and Sequencer modes, aftertouch can be turned
on/off independently for each timbre/track (Enable After
Touch see page 82, 122).
Polyphonic aftertouch [An, kk, vv]
(n: channel, kk: note number, vv: value)
There is another type of aftertouch called Polyphonic Key
Pressure, which allows aftertouch to be applied independently for
individual keys. This message can be used as an alternate
modulation source, but cannot be transmitted by the KROSS's
keyboard. In order to use this message, it will have to be received
from an external device, or recorded on your sequencer.
The aftertouch mentioned in this manual refers to Channel After
Touch.

Pitch bend

Pitch bend change [En, bb, mm]
(n: channel, bb: lower byte of the value, mm: upper byte of the
value, together expressing a value of 16,384 steps where 8,192
[bb, mm = 00H, 40H] is the center value)
When the KROSS's pitch bend wheel is moved away from
yourself, a pitch bend effect will be applied, and pitch bender
messages will also be transmitted. When these messages are
received, a pitch bend effect will be applied.
The range of pitch change that is produced by pitch bend messages
can also be adjusted via MIDI. (see "Changing the pitch bend
range" on page 318)
