Playing sounds in Set Lists

Overview
Set Lists make it simple to play and organize any of the
sounds loaded into the KRONOS, without regard for what
bank they're stored in or whether they're Programs,
Combinations, or even Songs.
Large on-screen buttons make sound selection fast and
foolproof, and the Program Up or Down footswitch
assignments can be used for hands-free sound changes. Cut,
copy, paste, and insert tools make re-ordering a snap.

Selecting Set Lists
The large name in the Set List display is the name of the
current Slot, so that you can easily see the sound that you're
playing. The Set List name is in smaller text at the top left-
hand corner of the screen.
With the factory settings, Set List 000 will appear when you
turn on the power.
To select Set Lists:
1. Press the SET LIST button to enter Set List mode.
2. Press the Set List popup button (to the left of the Set
List name).
The Set List selection dialog appears.
3. Press one of the names in the list to select a Set List.
The selected Set List will be highlighted, and the keyboard
will immediately switch to the first Slot in the Set List.
4. If you like, play a few notes to hear the sound of the
first Slot in the Set List.
5. When you are satisfied with the selected Set List, press
the OK button to close the popup menu.

Smooth Sound Transitions (SST) let the previous sound and
its effects ring out naturally, making it easy to change sounds
during a live performance. SST is active in all of the
KRONOS modes—not just in Set Lists.
There are 128 Set Lists, and each Set List has 128 Slots, each
of which can be assigned to any Program, Combination, or
Song. One way of thinking about this is that a Set List is a
"bank" of Slots.
Alternately, you can press the Cancel button to return to the
previously selected Set List.
Selecting Slots
16/8/4 Slots buttons
These buttons, at the top of the display, select how many
Slots are shown at once. Displaying fewer Slots leaves more
room to show the Comments; displaying more Slots gives
you a greater number of sounds at your finger-tips. You can
change between these settings at any time, as convenient.
Selecting within the current group of Slots
To select one of the Slots shown on the display:
1. Press the Slot's button.
The button becomes highlighted, and the large Slot
number/name at the top of the screen are updated
accordingly.
Also notice that the comments area, above the Slot buttons,
updates to show the contents for the selected Slot.
