ENTER button and
▲▼ cursor buttons
When you select a parameter and press the ENTER button, a
▲▼ symbol will appear beside the value (
→
),
and you can use the ▲▼ cursor buttons to increment or
decrement the value in steps of one. When you’ve specified
the value, press the ENTER button once again to confirm it.
This method is convenient when you want to make small
changes.
Note: If you decide not to change the value, press the EXIT
button.
Using the keyboard to enter a note number or velocity
value
For parameters that specify a note number (such as G4 or
C#2) or a velocity value, pressing the
ENTER button will
cause a ▲▼ symbol to appear beside the value (see above).
You can play a key to directly enter a note number or
velocity value. When you’ve specified the value,
press the
ENTER button once again to confirm it.
ENTER button
If the parameter item is a toggle, option button, or check box,
press the ENTER button to switch the setting.
Other
CATEGORY dial, SELECT dial
Parameters indicated by
(category select icon) can be
edited using the CATEGORY dial and SELECT dial to
change the category and program/combination number. The
dial’s LED will light to indicate the current category.
In Program mode you can select the program category and
number.
In Combination mode these dials have the following two
functions.
• Select the combination category and number.
• When the edit cell is a timbre program (highlighted), the
dials select the program category and number.
In Sequencer mode when the edit cell is a track program
(highlighted), the dials select the program category and
number.
Tempo input
TEMPO knob, TAP button
You can set the tempo by turning the TEMPO knob or by
repeatedly pressing the TAP button.
Compare/Undo function
Program, Combination mode
Use this when you wish to compare the edits you have made
to a program or combination’s sound with the un-edited
original (i.e., the sound that is written into memory).
While editing a program or combination, you can turn on the
Compare function (select the check mark) to recall the
settings that were last written to that program number or
combination number. When you turn off the Compare
function (remove the check mark), you
will return to the
settings that you had previously been editing.
1. While editing, turn the Compare function on (select
the check mark).
To turn this on, press the FUNCTION button to access
the function list, use the ▼ (PAGE+) or ▲ (PAGE–)
button to select Compare, and press the OK (MENU)
button.
The sound that had been saved before you began editing
will be recalled.
2. When you turn off the Compare function (remove the
check mark), you will return to the sound that you
had previously been editing.
To turn it off, select the Compare function once again and
press the OK (MENU) button.
Note: If you edit the settings that were recalled by turning
Compare on (i.e., the saved settings),
the check mark will be
cleared, and your previously edited settings will be lost.
Even if you turn Compare on again (select the check mark),
the previous settings will not return.
Sequencer mode
In Sequencer mode, you can use the Undo function to make
“before and after” comparisons immediately after using
realtime recording or step recording to record a song, or after
performing an edit on a track.
For example, this can be used effectively when realtime-
recording a MIDI track for a song.
1. Realtime-record a MIDI track. (Take 1)
2. Once again, realtime-record on the same track.
(Take 2)
3. If you turn on the Undo function (select the check
mark), take 1 will be recalled.
4. If you turn off the Undo function (clear the check
mark), take 2 will be recalled.
5. If at step 3 you once again realtime-record on the
same track (take 3), the Compare function will now be
referencing take 1.
6. If at step 4 you once again realtime-record on the
same track (take 3), the Compare function will be
referencing take 2.
In this way, the Undo function lets you recall the previous
recording or the previous state of event editing.
Note: If you edit while Undo is on (the check mark
selected), the check mark will be cleared. That musical data
now becomes the musical data that will be selected when
Undo is off.
Global mode
The Compare function is not available in Global mode.
Audio recorder
When using the audio recorder, you can use Undo to return
to a previously recorded state. You can step back through
multiple takes. You can also redo. In the AUDIO
RECORDER SETUP dialog box, press the UNDO (PAGE–)
button.
Basic Information Basic operations

Selecting and executing functions
The functions provide commands that are specific to each
page, such as Write (save) or Copy. The available functions
will depend on the selected page.
For example, the functions in Program mode let you write
(save) the settings, or let you perform convenient editing
procedures such as copying settings between oscillators or
effects, or a Sync function that lets you edit two EGs
together.
1. Press the FUNCTION button.
The function list will appear.
2. Use the ▼ (PAGE+) and ▲ (PAGE–) buttons to select
a function, and press the OK (MENU) button.
A dialog box for the selected function will appear.
Check-type commands
will not display a dialog box; their
status will be switched, and the list will close.
• If you want to close the list without selecting a
command, press the CLOSE (FUNCTION) button once
again.
3. Use the ◄►▲▼ cursor buttons to select parameters
in the dialog box, and use the value dial, ENTER
button, and ▲▼ cursor buttons to enter the value.
You can use the CATEGORY dial and SELECT dial
when selecting a program or combination number in the
dialog box.
If you decide not to execute, press the CANCEL
(FUNCTION) button.
The dialog box will close.
Writing/saving
After editing, you should write or save your changes as
necessary.
For example if you’ve
edited a program, your changes will
be lost if you select another program or turn off the power.
The same applies to a combination.
Settings that you edit in Global mode, songs and Favorites
will be remembered as long as the power is on, but your
changes will be lost when you turn off the power, unless you
write these changes into memory.
For more details on the Write procedure, see the following
pages.
• Programs → p.103
• Combinations → p.103
• Favorites → p.50
• Global settings (GLOBAL–G-USER SCALE) → p.104
• Drum kits → p.104
• User arpeggio pattern → p.104
• User template songs → PG p.140
• For details on writing to internal memory → p.103
Please see the following pages for more information about
saving.
• Saving a MIDI song → p.60
• Saving to SD card → p.102
Note: On
the KROSS, the action of writing into internal
memory is called “Writing,” and the action of saving to an
SD card device is called “Saving.”
Assigning a name (renaming)
You can edit the name of an edited program, combination,
song, drum kit, or arpeggio pattern.
For additional details, please see “Editing names” on
page 105.
