FX Ctrl Bus (FX Control Bus)
This sends the external audio input signal to an FX Control
bus (two stereo channels; FX Ctrl 1 and 2).
For details, see "8–1d: FX Control Bus" on page 140.
REC Bus
This sends the external audio input signal to the REC buses
(four mono channels; 1, 2, 3, 4).
Use the REC buses when you want to sample in any mode,
or to record audio tracks in Sequencer mode. These are
dedicated buses for recording.
Off: The external audio signal will not be sent to the REC
buses. Normally you will use the Off setting.
1, 2, 3, 4: The external audio input signal will be sent to the
specified REC bus. The Pan setting is ignored, and the
signal is sent in monaural.
1/2, 3/4: The external audio input signal will be sent in
stereo to the specified pair of REC buses. The Pan setting
sends the signal in stereo to buses 1 and 2 or buses 3 and 4.
Send1 (to MFX1)
Send2 (to MFX2)
These adjust the levels at which the audio input is sent to the
master effects.
Send1 (to MFX1): Send the signal to master effect 1.
Send2 (to MFX2): Send the signal to master effect 2.
This setting is ignored if Bus Select is other than L/R or Off.
If Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.) is set to IFX1–12, the send levels
to the master effects are set by the post-IFX1–12 Send1 and
Send2 (Program, Combination, Sequencer 8–5a).
Note: You can use the control surface to control Send1 (to
MFX1) and Send2 (to MFX2). You can also make this
setting from the front panel mixer section or from the P0–
Control Surface screen of the LCD.
PLAY/MUTE
This indicates the PLAY or MUTE status of each audio
input. The settings can be switched from the control surface.
PLAY: The external audio signal will be input as specified
by the various parameters.
MUTE: The external audio signal will be muted (silent), and
will not be input.
Note: You can control PLAY/MUTE from the control
surface. You can also make this setting from the front panel
mixer section or from the P0– Control Surface page of the
LCD.
SOLO ON/OFF
Solo lets you isolate one or more Oscillators , Timbres,
Tracks, or Audio Inputs, so that you hear them by
themselves. It does this by temporarily muting all non-
soloed channels.
In Global mode, the way in which Solo operates depends on
the setting of the Exclusive Solo menu command in the
previously selected mode. For more information, see
"Exclusive Solo menu parameter" on page 29.
Exclusive Solo Off: Multiple channels can be soloed. The
solo status will change each time you press SOLO ON/OFF.

Exclusive Solo On: When you press SOLO ON/OFF, only
that channel will be soloed.
Tip: You can use the control surface MIX SELECT 1–6
switches to control this parameter. For more information, see
"Using the control surface with the Audio Inputs" on
page 19.
The SOLO setting is not saved when you Write.
Pan
This specifies the panning of the external audio input signal.
With a stereo audio source, you will normally set the inputs
to L000 and R127 respectively.
Note: You can also control Pan from the control surface.
Level
This controls the level of the external audio signal. The
default is 127.
The meter to the left of the slider shows the audio input
volume, before the Level control, in realtime.
Note: You can also control volume from the control surface.
Avoiding distortion
The analog signal from AUDIO INPUTS 1 & 2 is converted
to a digital signal by an A/D converter. The Level parameter
sets the volume immediately after the conversion into digital
form.
Because of this, it's best to optimize the analog signal level
first, and then make fine adjustments via the Level
parameter if necessary. You can control the analog level by
adjusting the rear-panel AUDIO INPUT MIC/LINE
switches and LEVEL knobs, or the output level of the
external audio source.
This also means that if the sound is distorting because the
analog signal is too loud, adjusting the Level setting won't
help. If you hear unwanted distortion, try adjusting the
analog levels as described above.
Avoiding extraneous noise
If cables are connected to AUDIO INPUTS 1 & 2, any noise
carried by the cables will enter into the KRONOS mixer
structure. Similarly, the S/P DIF input may carry noise from
external devices. This may include hiss, hum, and other
audio noise.
To avoid noise from unused audio inputs, either:
• Set the input's Level to 0
or
• Set all of the bus assignments to Off, including Bus
Select (IFX/Indiv. Out Assign), REC Bus, and FX
Control Bus
If no audio cables are connected to the inputs, the signals are
forced to zero, preventing any additional noise.
0–2b: Audio Output
L/R Bus Indiv. Assign
This lets you send the L/R output to any pair of individual
outputs, in addition to all of the normal L/R outputs
(including the main L/R outputs, the HEADPHONE jack,
and the S/P DIF and USB outputs).
