Introduction to the KROSS
ENTER button and ▲▼ cursor buttons
When you select a parameter and press the ENTER button, a
▲▼ symbol will appear beside the value (
and you can use the ▲▼ cursor buttons to increment or
decrement the value in steps of one. When you've specified
the value, press the ENTER button once again to confirm it.
This method is convenient when you want to make small
changes.
Note: If you decide not to change the value, press the EXIT
button.
Using the keyboard to enter a note number or velocity
value
For parameters that specify a note number (such as G4 or
C#2) or a velocity value, pressing the ENTER button will
cause a ▲▼ symbol to appear beside the value (see above).
You can play a key to directly enter a note number or
velocity value. When you've specified the value, press the
ENTER button once again to confirm it.
ENTER button
If the parameter item is a toggle, option button, or check box,
press the ENTER button to switch the setting.

Parameters indicated by
edited using the CATEGORY dial and SELECT dial to
change the category and program/combination number. The
dial's LED will light to indicate the current category.
In Program mode you can select the program category and

In Combination mode these dials have the following two
functions.
• Select the combination category and number.
• When the edit cell is a timbre program (highlighted), the
dials select the program category and number.
In Sequencer mode when the edit cell is a track program

repeatedly pressing the TAP button.
Compare/Undo function
Program, Combination mode
Use this when you wish to compare the edits you have made
to a program or combination's sound with the un-edited
original (i.e., the sound that is written into memory).
While editing a program or combination, you can turn on the
Compare function (select the check mark) to recall the
settings that were last written to that program number or
combination number. When you turn off the Compare
function (remove the check mark), you will return to the
settings that you had previously been editing.

(category select icon) can be
1. While editing, turn the Compare function on (select
the check mark).
To turn this on, press the FUNCTION button to access
the function list, use the ▼ (PAGE+) or ▲ (PAGE–)
button to select Compare, and press the OK (MENU)
button.
The sound that had been saved before you began editing
will be recalled.
2. When you turn off the Compare function (remove the
check mark), you will return to the sound that you
had previously been editing.
To turn it off, select the Compare function once again and
press the OK (MENU) button.
Note: If you edit the settings that were recalled by turning
Compare on (i.e., the saved settings), the check mark will be
cleared, and your previously edited settings will be lost.
Even if you turn Compare on again (select the check mark),
the previous settings will not return.
Sequencer mode
In Sequencer mode, you can use the Undo function to make
"before and after" comparisons immediately after using
realtime recording or step recording to record a song, or after
performing an edit on a track.
For example, this can be used effectively when realtime-
recording a MIDI track for a song.
1. Realtime-record a MIDI track. (Take 1)
2. Once again, realtime-record on the same track.
(Take 2)
3. If you turn on the Undo function (select the check
mark), take 1 will be recalled.
4. If you turn off the Undo function (clear the check
mark), take 2 will be recalled.
5. If at step 3 you once again realtime-record on the
same track (take 3), the Compare function will now be
referencing take 1.
6. If at step 4 you once again realtime-record on the
same track (take 3), the Compare function will be
referencing take 2.
In this way, the Undo function lets you recall the previous
recording or the previous state of event editing.
Note: If you edit while Undo is on (the check mark
selected), the check mark will be cleared. That musical data
now becomes the musical data that will be selected when
Undo is off.
Global mode
The Compare function is not available in Global mode.
Audio recorder
When using the audio recorder, you can use Undo to return
to a previously recorded state. You can step back through
multiple takes. You can also redo. In the AUDIO
RECORDER SETUP dialog box, press the UNDO (PAGE–)
button.
