1.
Select a mic program
Recording from a mic will be easy if you use a program
whose input and effect settings have been set up
appropriately for a mic.
Press the PROG button to enter Program mode, then
select the "067: Mic & Reverb" from the DRUM/SFX
category. (This is located before the GM programs.)
2.
Turn off the AUDIO IN button, and connect a mic
Turn the AUDIO IN button off (unlit). Turn the
VOLUME knob all the way to the left to lower
the volume. Then connect a dynamic mic to the
rear panel mic input (MIC IN) jack.
You must turn the AUDIO IN button off and use the
VOLUME knob to minimize the volume before you
connect a mic or any other device.
If you fail to observe this precaution, your speaker
system or other equipment might be damaged.
Note: Also use the MIC IN jack if you're connecting an
electric guitar. If you're connecting a guitar equipped
with passive pickups, we recommend that you connect a
preamp or effect unit between your guitar and the
KROSS.
3.
Turn the AUDIO IN button on, and adjust the input
volume
Press the AUDIO IN button to turn it on (lit). The mic
input will be enabled. Turn the VOLUME knob back
toward its original position to adjust the volume
appropriately, and play the keyboard or play back the
audio recorder while you input audio from the mic to
check the volume balance.
If you need to adjust the mic volume, hold down the
EXIT button and press the AUDIO IN button to access
the AUDIO IN -QUICK SETTING dialog box, and then
adjust the Gain value.
Level Meter [MIC]
Note: Ideally, the level meter should be moving in
approximately 70% of its full range. If the input is
overloaded, the [MIC] indicator will be highlighted.
When you've finished adjusting the volume, save the
setting. (See "Global audio input settings (G-SET) and
individual settings" of the Operation Guide)

Formatting an SD card

Before a new SD card or an SD card that has been
used by another device can be used with the
KROSS, the card must be formatted by the
KROSS.
Formatting will erase all data that had been saved on the
SD card. Before you format a card, make sure that you
don't mind losing any of the data that was on that card.
The SD card must be formatted on the KROSS. An SD
card that was formatted by a device other than the
KROSS might not be recognized correctly.

by holding down the EXIT button and pressing the
GLOBAL/MEDIA button. Use the PAGE+ button to
access the MEDIA > UTILITY page.

Select the Format function
Press the FUNCTION button. Use the (PAGE+) button
to select Format, and then press the OK (MENU) button.
