Set Lists
Saving your edits
Once you've made a Set List, you'll want to save your
work. To do so:
1. Select the Write Set List command from the page
menu, at the upper right‐hand corner of the screen.
You can also call up this menu command by holding
ENTER and pressing 0 on the numeric keypad.
This brings up a dialog box which allows you to save
the Set List. Optionally, you can also select a new
location, or change the Set List's name.
2. Press the "T" button to bring up the text edit
dialog.
You can give the Set List a descriptive name using the
on‐screen keyboard.
3. After entering the name, press OK.
The text edit window will disappear, returning you to
the main Write dialog.
4. Under "To" at the bottom of the dialog, press the
popup button next to Set List to bring up the save
location dialog.
5. Select a location to save the edited Set List.
6. After selecting the location, press OK.
7. Press OK again to start the write process.
8. If you're sure you want to write to this location,
press OK again.
After that, you're done!
Do not turn off the power for at least 10 seconds
after writing the Set List data. This allows the
system time to complete the process, which includes
saving a backup of the data to the internal disk.

Set Lists and the Control Surface

Overview
The Control Surface is the group of knobs, buttons, and
sliders to the left of the display. You can use it for
hands‐on control of mixing, KARMA, and external
devices, as well as synth modulation and editing. It's a
pretty deep and powerful part of the KRONOS; for an
in‐depth look at some of what it can do, see "Quick
edits using the knobs, sliders, and switches" on
page 39.
In this part of the manual, we'll just look at the unique
ways that the Control Surface works in Set List mode.
In general, the Control Surface works very similarly for
Program, Combination, and Songs. However, there are
some small differences between them, matching their
different capabilities. For instance, Programs have

Editing a Slot's Program, Combination, or
Song
When you're in a rehearsal or sound‐check, you may
need to make quick edits to a sound in the Set List.
With this in mind, you can:
• Jump to the editing pages for the selected Program,
Combination, or Song
• Make the desired edits
• Save the edits
• Return easily to the original Set List page
To do so:
1. Select the desired item in the Set List.
Next, from any of the Set List pages:
2a.In the menu, select the Edit [Type] command.
The actual name of the command will be either Edit
Program, Edit Combination, or Edit Song, depending
on the selected Slot.
or:
2b.Hold the front‐panel ENTER button, and touch
the Slot's button.
The mode will change to Program, Combination, or
Sequence as appropriate, and the system will display
the P0 page for the selected item.
The Program, Combination, or Sequence mode
button's LED will blink, and the Set List LED remains
solidly on, to show that you are editing an item in a Set
List. The Set List settings, including EQ and volume,
continue to affect the sound.
3. Edit as desired.
4. Write your edits.
