Using Effects In Combinations And Songs - Korg Kronos Operation Manual

Using Effects
The procedure is the same as when selecting an
insert effect.
3. Press the On/Off button to turn on the master
effect.
Each time you press the button, the master effect
will be switched on/off. When Off, the output of the
master effect will be muted.
4. Use "Return 1" and "Return 2" to adjust the output
levels of the master effects.
Note: For each effect, the Wet value of the Wet/Dry
parameter is the output level at the effect. The
return value is multiplied with this ("Return" = 127
will be x1.0) to determine the actual output level of
the master effect.
5. Select the MFX1 and MFX2 pages, and set the
parameters for each selected effect as desired.
Total Effects
If you use Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.Out Assign) to choose
L/R as the oscillator output, or if you set the post‐IFX
Bus Select to L/R, the signal will go through the total
effect.

Using effects in Combinations and Songs

In Combination, and Sequencer modes, you can
specify the routing of each timbre/track to the insert
effects, master effects and total effects. These settings
are made in the same way in each of these modes. We
will be using the example of Combination mode in our
explanation here.
Routing to IFX, outputs, and buses
1. Go to the Combination P8: Insert Effect– Routing1
page.
2. Use "Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.Out Assign)" to specify
the bus to which each timbre will be output.
Choose IFX1 if you want to send the output of a
timbre to insert effect 1.
The routing, insert effects, and chain settings are
shown graphically in the upper part of the display
screen. In this example, T01 (timbre 1) uses IFX1 and
2. T02 uses IFX2, T03 uses IFX3 and 4, T02 and T05
use IFX4, and T06 and T07 use IFX5.

The output from the master effects is sent to the total
effects via the Return 1 and Return 2 settings on the
Program P9: Master/Total Effect– Routing page.
After being processed through the total effects, the
signal goes to the AUDIO OUTPUT (MAIN) L/MONO
and R outputs.
1. Go to the Program P9: Master/Total Effect–
Routing page.
2. Choose the desired total effect for TFX1 and TFX2.
The procedure is the same as when selecting an
insert effect. (See step 7)
3. Press the On/Off button to turn the total effects on.
The total effect will be switched on/off each time
you press the button. If this is Off, the result will be
the same as if 000: No Effect is selected. The input
sound will be output without change.
4. Access the TFX1 or TFX2 pages, and edit the
parameters of each effect to adjust the final sound
as desired.

11.
3. Use Send1 and Send2 to specify the send level of
each timbre to the master effects.
This can be set only if "Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.Out
Assign)" is set to L/R or Off.
Note: The actual send level is determined by
multiplying this by the "Send 1" or "Send 2"
settings for oscillators 1 and 2 within the program
selected by the timbre. If the program parameter
"Send 1" or "Send 2" is set to 0, the resulting level
will still be 0 even if you raise this send level.
If "Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.Out Assign)" is set to IFX1–
12, the send levels to the master effects are set by
Send1 and Send2 (Insert FX page) following the
insert effects.
4. Go to the Combination P8: Insert Effect– Routing 2
page.
Bus Select (IFX/Indiv. Out Assign) is the same as in
the Routing 1 page. You can set it from either page.
FX Control Bus sends the output of the timbre to an
FX Control bus. Use this when you want the audio
input to an effect to be controlled by another sound.
There are two FX Control buses, which gives you a
great deal of freedom for controlling effects freely.
REC Bus sends the output of the timbre to a REC
bus. In the P0– Audio Input/Sampling page, you can
set the Sampling Setup Source Bus to a REC bus,
and sample the signal that is sent to the REC bus.
Use this if you want to sample only the sound of a
specific timbre.
Note: Sequencer mode has settings for MIDI Routing
1/2 and Audio Routing 1/2. These specify the effect
routing for MIDI tracks and audio tracks.
In Sequencer mode, you can also choose a REC bus
as the REC Source for each track in the P0– Audio
