Altering Programs To Fit Within A Combination - Korg Kronos Operation Manual

MIDI filter settings
For each MIDI Filter item, you can specify whether or
not the corresponding MIDI message will be
transmitted and received. The checked items will be
transmitted and received.
The MIDI filters don't turn the functions themselves on
or off. Instead, the filter just controls whether or not
that MIDI message will be transmitted and received.

Altering Programs to fit within a Combination

You can make various changes to Programs within the
context of a particular Combination, to make them fit
better with other Programs, or to create particular
sonic effects. These changes do not affect the original
Programs, or how those Programs sound in other
Combinations.
Timbre Parameters: OSC
Force OSC Mode
Normally this should be set to PRG, so that the sound
will play as set by the original Program.
If you wish to force a polyphonic program to sound
monophonically, set this either to MN (Mono) or LGT
(Legato). Conversely, set this to Poly if you wish to
force a monophonic program to play polyphonically.
For more information, see "Force OSC Mode," on
page 455 of the Parameter Guide.
Detailed Combination editing Altering Programs to fit within a Combination
For example, if portamento is on, portamento will be
applied to the internal KRONOS sound even if
Portamento SW CC#65 is unchecked.
As another example, let's say that you've selected a
bass Program for Timbre 1, and a piano Program for
Timbre 2, with the goal of creating a bass/piano split.
You could make the following settings so that pressing
the damper pedal affects only Timbre 2's piano sound:
1. Go to the MIDI Filter 1 tab of the MIDI
Filter/Zones page.
2. Check the Enable Damper box for Timbre 1.
3. Un‐check the Enable Damper box for Timbre 2.
OSC Select
Normally, this should be set to BTH (Both).
If the timbre is using a program whose Oscillator
Mode is Double or Double Drums, and you want only
OSC1 or OSC2 (not both) to sound, set this to OSC1
(only OSC1 will sound) or OSC2 (only OSC2 will
sound).
Portamento
Normally, this should be set to PRG.
If the Program uses portamento, but you'd like to
disable this for the current Combination, set this
parameter to Off.
Conversely, if you want to force the portamento to be
on, or just to change the portamento time, set this to a
value of 001–127. The portamento will change to use
the newly specified time.
