Arpeggiator; Drum Track Function; Drum Kits; Effects - Korg KROSS Operation Manual

Arpeggiator

The Arpeggiator does not start
□ Is the ARP button turned on (lit)? → p.67
□ If the arpeggiator does not start for a combination or
song, make sure that Run is checked, and that an
arpeggiator is selected for Assign. → p.70
□ If the arpeggiator does not run in the ARP PATTERN>
SETUP–MODE pages, could you have moved from
Combination or Sequencer mode with settings that keep
the arpeggiator from starting?
□ Is the MIDI Clock (G-MIDI> BASIC) parameter set to
Internal? → p.99
□ In the GLOBAL> SYSTEM page, is ARP/SS/DT All
Off checked? → p.98

Drum Track function

The Drum Track does not start
□ Is the DRUM TRACK button turned on (lit)? → p.77
□ You pressed the DRUM TRACK button but the drum
track pattern did not start.
• Is the DRUM TRACK button blinking?
Trigger Mode is set to Wait KBD Trigger. The drum
track pattern will start when you play the keyboard or
receive a note-on. → p.78
• Did you select a pattern that does not contain data?
• Could 000: Off be selected as the pattern? → p.77, 78
□ If the drum track pattern fails to start in Combination
mode, is the Output setting appropriate?
If the drum track pattern fails to start in Sequencer mode,
are the Input and Output settings appropriate?
→ p.78, 79
□ Is MIDI Clock (G-MIDI> BASIC) set to Internal or
Auto? → p.99
□ In the GLOBAL> SYSTEM page, is ARP/SS/DT All
Off checked? → p.98

Drum Kits

The drumsample's pitch does not change
□ You have left the Assign check box unchecked, and want
to play the drumsample at the adjacent right a semitone
lower, but the pitch does not change.
• If you've selected a drum program in Program mode, and
then want to use the Global mode DRUM KIT page to
edit the drum kit, you should use the P-PITCH> BASIC
page to set Pitch Slope to +1.0 before you enter the
DRUM KIT page. → PG p.15

Effects

Effects are not audible
□ Have you selected effect program 000 (No Effect)?
• Select an effect other than 000: No Effect for "IFX1–5,"
or "MFX 1, 2."
□ Are the Effect SW IFX and MFX check boxes
(GLOBAL> SYSTEM page) selected? → p.98
□ If you are in Combination and Sequencer mode, and
master effects are not audible when you raise the Send1
or Send2 of the timbre/track, does Return 1 or Return 2
from the master effect need to be raised? → PG p.93, 135
Alternatively, has Send 1 or Send 2 for each oscillator of
the program used by the timbre/track been lowered?
→ PG p.91, 132
Note: The actual send level is determined by multiplying
the send setting of each oscillator in the program with the
send setting of the timbre/track.
□ Have you routed the output to an insert effect?
→ p.62, 64 and PG p.200
The program selected for a timbre/track in Combination or
Sequencer mode sounds different than when played in
Program mode
□ When you select a program for a timbre/track in
Combination or Sequencer mode, the arpeggiator and
effect settings from Program mode are not automatically
applied.
• You can use the Copy From Program, Copy Insert
Effect, or Copy Master Effect functions to copy these
settings from Program mode. → PG p.139, 151, 151

Step sequencer

When a favorite is selected, you can't save step sequencer
settings
□ This is normal. Make and save these settings in Program
or Combination mode.

Audio recorder

Can't record
□ Is the SD card inserted correctly? → p.21
□ Could LOOP be turned on? You can't record if LOOP is
on.
The volume of imported data is too loud compared to the
sound played by the KROSS or the external audio input
□ If the data is very loud, there may be a substantial volume
difference. To temporarily adjust the playback volume of
the audio recorder, use the Set Play Level function. If you
want to overdub onto the imported audio, use the Adjust
Audio Level function (instead of Set Play Level) to lower
the volume of the entire audio song beforehand. → p.91
When you overdub, the previous take becomes too quiet
□ Could Set Play Level be set to something other than
0 dB? Use the Adjust Audio Level function to adjust the
volume of the entire audio song. → p.91
