insert it. Forcing it in the wrong direction may damage
the slot or the card, and the data may be lost.
Removing an SD card
Never remove the SD card from the slot while loading,
saving, or formatting is in progress, or while the audio
recorder is working.
• Press the

will partially pop out, allowing you to pull it completely out.
Please see the owner’s manual included with your card,
and observe the guidelines for handling and use.
About the write protect setting of an SD card
SD cards have a write protect switch that prevents the data
from being overwritten accidentally and lost. If a card is
protected, you can’t save or delete data on it, use it to record
with the audio recorder, or format the card.
If you need to perform these procedures, you must first set
the switch to its original position.
Connecting the KROSS to a computer
USB connection
The KROSS provides both MIDI and USB connectors as
standard equipment. By connecting the KROSS to your
computer via USB, you can use it as a controller and MIDI
sound module for your DAW software with single cable
convenience; and with out the need for a MIDI interface.
By using the dedicated editor, you can edit some of the
parameters of the KROSS from your computer as though it
were a software plug-in.
Note: The USB connector of the KROSS is only able to
transmit and receive MIDI data.
Before you connect the KROSS to your computer via
USB, you must install the KORG USB-MIDI driver on
your computer.
About the software
The latest version of the KORG USB-MIDI driver and the
KROSS Editor/Plug-in Editor can
be downloaded from the
Korg website. (http://www.korg.co.jp/English/Distributors/
or http://www.korg.com/)
Connecting via the MIDI connectors
You can connect the KROSS to your computer via MIDI by
using a commercially available MIDI interface.
Note: For more about MIDI interfaces, please see the
owner’s manual of the MIDI interface that you’re using.
Some USB-MIDI interfaces may be unable to transmit
or receive the KROSS’s MIDI exclusive messages.
Connecting MIDI devices
By connecting the KROSS’s MIDI connectors to an external
MIDI device you can transfer sound settings and
performance data such as note messages between your
external MIDI device and the KROSS.
About MIDI
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is
a world-wide standard for exchanging various types of
musical data between electronic
musical instruments and
computers. When MIDI cables are used to connect two or
more MIDI devices, performance data can be exchanged
between the devices, even if they were made by different
manufacturers.
Controlling an external MIDI tone generator
from KROSS
If you want to use the KROSS’s keyboard, chord trigger
switches and other controllers, sequencer, and arpeggiator to
play or control an external MIDI sound module, use a MIDI
cable to connect the KROSS’s MIDI OUT connector to the
MIDI IN connector of your external MIDI sound module.
Controlling KROSS’s tone generator from an
external MIDI device
When you wish to play or control the KROSS’s tone
generator from an external MIDI keyboard or sequencer etc.,
use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT connector of the
external MIDI device to the MIDI IN connector of KROSS.
Controlling two or more external MIDI tone
generators from the KROSS
You can also use a MIDI patch bay to control multiple MIDI
devices.
