Playing sounds in Set Lists

Overview
Set Lists make it simple to play and organize any of the
sounds loaded into the KRONOS, without regard for
what bank they're stored in or whether they're
Programs, Combinations, or even Songs.
Large on‐screen buttons make sound selection fast and
foolproof, and the Program Up or Down footswitch
assignments can be used for hands‐free sound
changes. Cut, copy, paste, and insert tools make re‐
ordering a snap.

Selecting Set Lists
The large name in the Set List display is the name of
the current Slot, so that you can easily see the sound
that you're playing. The Set List name is in smaller text
at the top left‐hand corner of the screen.
With the factory settings, Set List 000 will appear when
you turn on the power.
To select Set Lists:
1. Press the SET LIST button to enter Set List mode.
2. Press the Set List popup button (to the left of the
Set List name).
The Set List selection dialog appears.
3. Press one of the names in the list to select a Set
List.
The selected Set List will be highlighted, and the
keyboard will immediately switch to the first Slot in
the Set List.

Smooth Sound Transitions (SST) let the previous sound
and its effects ring out naturally, making it easy to
change sounds during a live performance. SST is active
in all of the KRONOS modes—not just in Set Lists.
There are 128 Set Lists, and each Set List has 128 Slots,
each of which can be assigned to any Program,
Combination, or Song. One way of thinking about this
is that a Set List is a "bank" of Slots.
4. If you like, play a few notes to hear the sound of
the first Slot in the Set List.
5. When you are satisfied with the selected Set List,
press the OK button to close the popup menu.
Alternately, you can press the Cancel button to return
to the previously selected Set List.
Selecting Slots
Selecting within the current group of 16
16 Slots are shown on the screen at once, each
represented by a button. To select one of the 16 Slots
shown on the display:
1. Press the Slot's button.
The button becomes highlighted, and the large Slot
number/name at the top of the screen are updated
accordingly.
