The Tone Adjust function assigns important program
parameters and easy‐edit parameters to the switches and
sliders in the display for quick edits of selected parameters.
Tip: In Combination and Sequencer modes, Tone Adjust also
lets you edit Program parameters without the need to save a
different version of the original Program. For more
information on Tone Adjust in these modes, please see "0–
7c: Tone Adjust" on page 75 and page 115.
Absolute (Abs), Relative (Rel), Meta parameter
There are three kinds of Tone Adjust parameters: Absolute,
Relative, and Meta.
Absolute parameters usually edit a single Program
parameter, such as Oscillator 1 Drive. The Program and
Tone Adjust parameters mirror one another; when you
change one, the other will change to match.
Relative parameters typically adjust two or more Program
parameters simultaneously. For instance, F/A EG Attack
Time affects a total of six Program parameters. The value of
the Relative parameter shows the amount of change to these
underlying Program parameters.
If the Relative parameter is set to 0 (the slider in the display
is at the center position), the value of the corresponding
program parameter will not change.
The definitions of higher and lower settings can vary,
depending on the specific parameter. Unless noted
otherwise, they work as follows:
When the Relative parameter is at +99 (the maximum), the
Program parameters are all at their maximum as well.
Similarly, when the Relative parameter is at –99 (the
minimum), the Program parameters are at zero.

Menu
Tone Adjust are bipolar, meaning that they can be either
positive or negative (instead of just positive). When these
Program parameters are set to negative values, the Tone
Adjust parameter may behave differently from the
description above.
For instance, if the EG Intensity is set to a negative value,
Relative Tone Adjust values will range from 0 to –99, the
inverse of the diagram above. EG Sustain works differently;
if it's set to a negative value, Tone Adjust values range from
0 down to the programmed value, and then up to +99, as
shown below.

Meta parameters don't affect Program parameters directly.
Instead, they affect the way that other Tone Adjust
parameters work. For instance, Multisample Min # and
Max # set the minimum and maximum values of the Tone
Adjust Multisample parameter.
Saving Tone Adjust Edits
Tone Adjust edits are saved in two different ways,
depending on whether the parameter is Relative or
Absolute. (For more information, please see "Absolute
(Abs), Relative (Rel), Meta parameter" below.)
Edits to Relative parameters affect the sound immediately,
but don't change the underlying Program parameter
settings until the Program is saved. When the Program is
saved, the KROME calculates the combined effects of Tone
Adjust and dedicated CC modulation (from the Real Time
knobs, for instance), and saves the results into the Program
parameters directly. At that point, all of the Relative
parameters are reset to 0.
Edits to Absolute parameters are immediately reflected in
the corresponding on‐screen parameters, and vice‐versa.
Tone Adjust and MIDI SysEx
The Tone Adjust edits all send and receive MIDI System
Exclusive messages. You can use this to record and play
back Tone Adjust edits with a sequencer, including the built‐
in sequencer.
