Global P1: MIDI
1–1: MIDI Basic
Here, you can make MIDI‐related settings that affect the
entire KROME.
Note: To transmit MIDI exclusive dump data, you’ll use the
menu commands of this P1: MIDI page.

Basic:
MIDI Channel (Global MIDI Channel) [1…16]
Sets the global MIDI channel.
The global MIDI channel is used in the following cases.
• When transmitting and receiving performance data in
Program mode (Prog P0: Play).
• When selecting combinations via MIDI in Combination
mode (Combi P0: Play).
• When triggering the drum track (with Trigger Mode set
to Wait KBD Trig) in Program or Combination mode.
• When controlling timbres or effects that have been set to
Gch in various modes
• When transmitting and receiving System Exclusive
messages
MIDI received
In Program mode (P0: Play), MIDI data is received on the
global MIDI channel, but in Combination mode (P0: Play) or
Sequencer mode, MIDI data is received on the MIDI channel
specified for each timbre or track.
In Combination mode (P0: Play), program changes received
on the global MIDI channel will switch the combination
(Global 1–2b: MIDI Filter).
Use the global MIDI channel to switch IFX 1–5 (CC#92),
MFX1&2 (CC#94) and TFX (CC#95) on/off.
To control the pan following IFX, sends 1/2, MFX 1/2 and
TFX, use the global MIDI channel when in the Program
mode; while in the Combination, or Sequencer modes, use
the channel specified separately by Ctrl Ch for IFX1–5,
MFX1&2, and TFX. By setting Ctrl Ch to Gch, you can
control these parameters from the global MIDI channel.
MIDI output when playing the KROME
In Program mode, this data will be transmitted on the global
MIDI channel. In Combination mode, data will be
transmitted simultaneously on the global MIDI channel and
on the MIDI channels of timbres whose Status (Combi 3–
1(2)c) is set to EXT or EX2.
In Sequencer mode, musical data will be transmitted on the
channel specified for the currently selected track (Seq 3–
1(2)c) (whose Status is BTH, EXT, or EX2).
Note Receive (Note Receive Filter) [All, Even, Odd]
This setting specifies whether even‐numbered, odd‐
numbered, or all note numbers will be sounded when note
data is received from the KROME’s keyboard or from an
external MIDI device. By connecting the KROME to another
KROME and setting one instrument to Even and the other to
Odd, you can effectively double the polyphony by dividing
the notes between the two instruments.
All: All note numbers will be received. Normally you will
leave this set to All.
Even: Even‐numbered notes (C, D, E, F#, G#, A#) will sound.
Odd: Odd‐numbered notes (C#, D#, F, G, A, B) will sound.
This setting has no effect on the MIDI data that is
received.
Local Control On [Off, On]
Local Control On (checked): The KROME’s knobs, and the
keyboard, joystick, SW1, and SW2 will control the KROME’s
sound generator. Leave this setting checked if you’re playing
the KROME by itself.
Local Control Off (unchecked): The KROME’s knobs, the
keyboard, joystick, SW1, and SW2 will be disconnected from
the KROME’s sound generator.
This means that operating the KROME (playing its
keyboard and using the joystick, or playing back the
sequencer) will not sound its internal tone generator.
Turn Local Control Off if loop‐back from an external
sequencer causes duplicate notes.
If Local Control is Off, MIDI transmission/reception
will occur normally. Playing the keyboard will cause
the corresponding note data to be transmitted, and
received note data will play the KROME’s internal
sounds.
Note: Even if Local Control is On, notes played back by the
internal sequencer will not trigger the arpeggiator.
Convert Position [PreMIDI, PostMIDI]
This setting specifies the location at which the Transpose
and Velocity Curve settings will be applied. This setting will
affect the MIDI data that is transmitted and received, and
the data that is recorded on the internal sequencer.
