You can use up to 8 of these effects simultaneously, with 5 Insert Effects, 2 Master Effects (for reverb sends,
for instance), and 1 Total Effects (for stereo bus processing). Each program provides a threeband EQ, letting
you use up to sixteen such EQs in each combination or song. These settings can be made individually for each
program, combination, and song.
The master effects and total effect can be turned on/off from the front panel.
Dual polyphonic arpeggiators
In addition to the traditional arpeggio patterns of the past, these arpeggiators can generate guitar or bass riffs as well
as drum patterns. They can also be used as part of the sound designing process to create pads, synth sounds, and
sound effects that include a subtle sense of movement. In Combination mode and Sequencer mode, you can use two
arpeggiators simultaneously.
There are 960 user arpeggio patterns, giving you amazing potential for powerful performances. Original patterns can
be created quickly and easily by editing patterns in the piano roll screen.
Drum track patterns
The drum track is a built-in drum machine function that uses the KROME’s high-quality drum sounds. There are 710
patterns.
Keyboard and controllers for richly expressive performances
The KROME EX 61 and 73 feature a Semi-Weighted Keyboard that provides a great-feeling way to play
everything from piano sounds to synthesizer sounds. The KROME EX 88 features a NH (Natural Weighted
Hammer Action) keyboard that is especially advantageous when you’re playing sounds that allow subtle
nuances of expression such as piano and electric piano.
In addition to the joystick, tonal changes can be controlled by buttons (SW1, 2) where you can assign functions
such as octave shift or joystick lock, and realtime controllers that you can use to adjust cutoff, resonance, or
effects while you play, making your performances even more expressive.
Three jacks where you can connect a damper pedal, foot switch, and foot pedal are provided. These allow you
to use your foot to adjust the volume, control the effects, or switch sounds.
Sequencer for music production or performance
The internal sequencer provides 16 MIDI tracks and one master track. There’s a full complement of functionality for
music production and performance, including Auto Song Setup that lets you start producing a song the moment
inspiration strikes, template songs, RPPR, and cue lists. You can edit tracks and patterns in the track view or in a
piano roll screen. SMF data can also be imported or exported, allowing smooth integration with another platform such
as your computer.
Computer connection via USB SD card slot
You can connect the KROME to your computer via USB for easy transfer of MIDI data. You can also use an SD card
(commercially available) to easily manage the KROME’s file data.
