Basic Operations - Korg KROSS Operation Manual

Basic operations

After you've turned on the KROSS, here's how to perform
basic operations, such as selecting modes and pages.
Selecting modes
In order to use a particular function on the KROSS, you must
first select the appropriate mode.
• Press one of the front panel mode buttons to enter the
corresponding mode.
COMBI button:
PROG button:
SEQ button:
GLOBAL/MEDIA button: Global/Media mode
For a summary of each mode, please see the "About the
KROSS's modes" section on page 9.
Note: The mode that's currently selected is shown by the
mode switch that's lit up.
Note: If you press the GLOBAL/MEDIA button twice, the
previously-selected combination, program, or sequencer
mode will be selected. If you hold down the EXIT button
and press the GLOBAL/MEDIA button, Media mode will be
selected immediately.
Selecting pages and tabs
One screen of displayed information is called a "page." To
access the page you want, you can use the PAGE– and
PAGE+ buttons, or you can press the MENU button and
choose from the page menu.
• Make sure that the desired mode is selected.
For this explanation we'll use Combination mode as an
example.
Using the PAGE+/– buttons to move between pages
• You can move between pages by pressing the PAGE+ or
PAGE– button.
Using the page menu to access different pages
The page menu shows a list of the pages and tabs within
each mode. Select the desired page and tab from this list.
1. Press the MENU button.
The page menu will appear.
The page where you were immediately before pressing
the PAGE button is indicated by a diamond-shaped
symbol to the left.
2. Press the PAGE+ button or the PAGE+ button to
select a page.
As an example here, select C-ZONE/DELAY.
3. Press the TABS (FUNCTION) button.
The "tabs of" (TABS OF) page will appear.
Combination mode
Program mode
Sequencer mode
4. Press the PAGE+ button or the PAGE– button to
select a tab.
As an example here, select KEY ZONE.
5. Press the OK (MENU) button.
The C-ZONE/DELAY> KEY ZONE page will appear.
Note: If you select a page from the page menu (rather than
from the "tabs of" menu), the page for the previously-
selected tab will appear.
Using the MENU button + PAGE± buttons to move
between pages
• Hold down the MENU button and press the PAGE+
(PAGE–) button.
In Combination mode, this lets you move in units of
pages; e.g., COMBI ↔ C-INPUT/CTRL ↔ C-Tone ADJ
↔ C-TIMBRE ↔ ... etc. Each time, the page of the most
recently selected tab will be selected.
Using the EXIT button to move between pages
• Pressing this button will take you back to the main page
of the current mode. Each time you press the button,
you'll move between pages in the following way.
The last selected (tab) page → the last selected (tab) page
of the PROG, COMBI, SEQ, or GLOBAL pages →
MAIN page (the BASIC page only for Global mode)
• When a dialog box is open, this button cancels the
settings that were made in the dialog box and closes the
dialog box, just like pressing the Cancel button.
• If a popup menu is open, pressing EXIT closes the menu.
Selecting a parameter and editing the value
1. Use the ◄►▲▼ cursor buttons to select the
parameter that you want to edit.
2. If you select an edit cell, the display will be
highlighted. Edit the value.
The way that the value will change depends on the type
of parameter or object. (see "Items in the display" on
page 7)
• The value in the edit cell can be edited by using the value
dial, the ENTER button, and the ▲▼ cursor buttons.
VALUE dial
Use this dial to edit the selected parameter's value. This
control is convenient when you want to scroll through a very
long list of selections.
