The Control Surface is the set of 9 sliders, 8 knobs, and 16
switches to the left of the LCD display. It looks like a mixer,
but it can do other things as well, including editing sounds,
controlling KARMA, and sending MIDI messages to
external devices.
This page shows you the current values for each of the
sliders, knobs, and buttons, along with information about
what they are controlling. For instance, you can:
• Adjust the volume and pan for Oscillators 1 and 2
• Control the Program's EQ settings and Master Effects
Send levels
• Modulate sounds and effects using the Real Time Knobs
• Control KARMA, and select KARMA scenes, using the
sliders and switches
• Edit sounds using Tone Adjust
• Assign sliders, knobs, and switches to different Tone
Adjust parameters
Local Control On/Off and the Control Surface
The Control Surface generates and receives MIDI CCs and
System Exclusive messages, so that you can record knob,
switch, and slider movements into a sequencer. This means
that the Global mode Local Control setting is important:
• If Local Control is On, the physical Control Surface will
work properly as long as MIDI is not being looped back
into the KRONOS.
• If Local Control is Off, you must loop back MIDI into
the KRONOS in order for the physical Control Surface
to work properly.
• Regardless of the Local Control setting, you can always
edit Control Surface parameters via the touch-screen.
For more information, see "Local Control and the Control
Surface" on page 782.

Control Assign Switches and Tabs
You can switch the Control Surface between its different
functions using either the tabs on the left side of the LCD
display, or the front-panel Control Assign switches. The tabs
and the front-panel switches mirror one another; when you
change one of them, the other changes as well.
In Program mode, you can select one of five different
functions:
TIMBRE/TRACK lets you adjust the
volume, pan, and send levels for
Oscillators 1 and 2, along with the
Program EQ. In Combi and Sequencer
modes, you can also use this to select
two different banks of Timbres or
Tracks, as shown by the LEDs to the
right of the switch.
AUDIO INPUTS lets you adjust the
volume, pan, and send levels for the
analog, USB, and S/P DIF audio
inputs. In Sequencer mode, you can
also use this to select two banks of
hard-disk recording tracks, as shown
by the LEDs to the right of the switch.
EXTERNAL lets you send MIDI messages to external
MIDI devices. Use the Global P1– External1 page to specify
the MIDI message that will be transmitted.
R.TIME KNOBS/KARMA lets you modulate sounds and
effects with the knobs, and control KARMA with the sliders
and switches.
TONE ADJ./EQ gives you hands-on access to sound
editing, using the sliders, knobs, and switches.
You can freely change back and forth between the different
functions, without losing any of your edits.
