P–Amp - Korg KROSS Parameter Manual

Program mode
8: P–Amp
Oscillators 1 and 2 have separate controls for volume (also called
"amplitude," or "amp" for short), pan, dedicated amp envelopes
and keyboard tracking generators.
These pages let you control all of these related parameters. Among
other things, you can:
• Set the pan position and pan modulation.
• Control amp level and modulation, including keyboard tracking,
the amp envelope, LFO modulation, and AMS control.
Note that when the Oscillator Mode is set to Single, only
Oscillator 1's amp and pan parameters are active; the pages for
Oscillator 2 will be grayed out.
8–1: BASIC
This page controls the basic settings for the Amp section. Here you
can:
• Set the initial volume level.
• Control the pan position and pan modulation.
OSC (Oscillator Select)
Select the oscillator (1 or 2) that you want to edit.
Note: Oscillator 2 can be selected if Oscillator Mode is set to
Double.
Amp Level
This controls the basic volume level of Oscillator 1, before
keyboard tracking, velocity, and other modulation.
Mixer, DrumTrack and volume
You can control the Oscillator volume directly from the sliders in
the 0–3 Mixer page. This is a separate parameter, in addition to
Amp Level.
MIDI and volume
You can control the Program's overall volume via MIDI
using both Volume (CC#7) and Expression (CC#11). When
used one at a time, the two controllers work in exactly the
same way: a MIDI value of 127 is equal to the Amp Level
setting, and lower values reduce the volume.
If both CC#7 and CC#11 are used simultaneously, the one
with the lower value determines the maximum volume, and
the one with the higher value scales down from that
maximum. This is controlled on the global MIDI channel (see
page 160).
Pan
This controls the stereo pan of Oscillator 1. A setting of L001
places the sound at the far left, C064 in the center, and R127 to the
far right.
When this is set to Random, the pan position will be different for
each note-on.
You can also control pan via MIDI Pan (CC#10).
A CC#10 value of 0 or 1 places the sound at the far left, 64
places the sound at the location specified by the Pan
parameter, and 127 places the sound at the far right. This is
controlled on the global MIDI channel (see page 160).

[000...127]
[Random, L001...C064...R127]
Note: Random cannot be selected via a MIDI control change.
You'll need to select it here.
AMS (Pan)
This selects an AMS source to modulate Pan.
For a list of AMS sources, please see "AMS (Alternate
Modulation Source) List" on page 292.
AMS Intensity
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS modulation for
Pan settings.
For example, if Pan is set to C064 and AMS is set to Note
Number, positive (+) intensities will cause the sound to move
toward the right as you play higher than C4, and toward the left as
you play lower than C4. Negative (–) intensities will have the
opposite effect.
DKIT-SET (Use DKit Setting)
This option is available only when the Oscillator Mode is set to
Drums.
Unlike standard Programs, Drum Kits can have a different pan
setting for every note. This parameter lets you choose whether to
use the Drum Kit pan settings, or to use the Program's pan setting
instead.
On (checked): The Program will use the Drum Kit's per-note pan
settings; pan AMS will still apply (see page 173). This is the
default setting.
Off (unchecked): The Program will ignore the Drum Kit's
settings, and use the Program pan instead.
All keys of the drum kit will use the Pan setting.
