Using The Tone Adjust And Eg Adjust Functions; Saving A Combination You've Edited; Layers, Splits, And Velocity Switches - Korg KROSS Operation Manual

Using the Tone Adjust and EG Adjust
functions
The Tone Adjust function is an easy way to adjust the sound
of each timbre.
In the C-TONE ADJ> TONE ADJUST page you can adjust
parameters such as the cutoff and resonance; in the C-TONE
ADJ> EG ADJUST page you can adjust the attack time and
release time.
These adjustments will not affect the original program or the
sound of programs that are used by other combinations.
1. Access the C-TONE ADJ> TONE ADJUST page or
the EG ADJUST page.
Press the MENU button to access the page menu. Use
▼ (PAGE+) or ▲ (PAGE–) to select "C-TONE ADJ,"
and press the OK (MENU) button.
Press the PAGE+ or PAGE– button to select the page.
2. Use the cursor buttons ◄► to select the timbre whose
sound you want to adjust
3. Use the cursor buttons ▲▼ to select the sound
parameter that you want to edit.
4. Use the VALUE dial etc. to edit the value.
For details on these parameters, please see page 27.

Saving a Combination you've edited

After you've edited a combination, you must save it if you
want to keep the changes you've made. If you re-select the
combination or turn off the power before saving, your edits
will be lost.
For details, please see "Writing a Program or Combination"
on page 103.
You can also save combinations on an SD card as PCG files.
For more details, please see "Saving to SD card" on
page 106.
Editing a combination Using the Tone Adjust and EG Adjust functions

Layers, Splits, and Velocity Switches

Within a Combination, you can use note range and the
velocity level to define the "zone" where a specific timbre
will play.
The Programs assigned to each Timbre can be played in
three ways: as part of a layer, a split, or a velocity switch. A
Combination can be set to use any one of these methods or to
use two or more of these methods simultaneously.
Tip: In Program mode it's easy to make layer or split settings
for two programs. (see "Quick Layer/Split function" on
page 25)
Layer
Layers cause two or more Programs to play simultaneously
when a note is played.
Program A
Program B
Split
Splits cause different Programs to respond on different areas
of the keyboard.
Program A Program B
Velocity Switch
Velocity Switches cause different Programs to respond
depending on the velocity (how hard you play the notes).
Program B
Program A
On the KROSS, you can use a different Program for each of
up to sixteen Timbres, and combine two or more of the
above methods to create even more complex setups.
Program A
Program D
Program B
Program C
As an additional possibility, you can set the slope for a key
zone or velocity zone so that the volume diminishes
gradually. This lets you change a split into a keyboard
crossfade, or a velocity switch into a velocity crossfade.
Program A Program B
Layer:
Two or more programs sound
simultaneously.
Split:
Different programs will sound in
different areas of the keyboard.

Example:
B and C/D are split. In the lower
keyboard range, A and B are
layered. In the higher keyboard
range, C and D are switched by
velocity and layered with A.
Keyboard X-Fade (keyboard
crossfade):
As you play from low notes to
high notes, the volume of A
will fade out, and the volume
of B will fade in.
