Effect Guide
Overview
The KROME provides five insert effects, two master effects,
and a total effect, together with a mixer section that controls
the routing of these effects.
For each of these effect processors, you can choose from 193
different types of effects, grouped into the following
categories:
Classification of 193 effects
Effect Preset
Effect Presets let you easily store and recall all of the settings
for an individual effect. You can store up to 16 user presets
for each effect type, in addition to 15 re‐writable factory
presets.
The same presets appear in all of the modes (Program,
Combination, and Sequencer).
Note that edits to effects parameters are automatically
stored with the Program–you don’t need to store them as an
Effect Preset. Presets just make it easier to re‐use your
favorite settings.
For instance, you can save an Effect Preset while working on
a particular Program, and then later use the same Effect
Preset in a different Program, Combination, or Song.
P00: Initial Set: These are the default settings that are
recalled when you select an effect type in the Insert FX Setup
page. You can’t save your own settings here.
P01…P15: Preset data is saved in this area.
We recommend that you store your settings in U00–U15.
U00…U15: These are areas in which you can store your own
settings.
---------------: This shows that no Effect Preset has been
selected. You’ll see this if you’ve just selected an effect,
written a Program, or selected a new Program. Selecting this
setting from the menu will not have any effect.
Note: Programs save the effects parameter settings, but they
don’t save the number of the selected Effect Preset. If you
select an Effect Preset, and then save the Program, the Effect
Preset setting will revert to “--------------.”
For more information, please see “Using Effect Presets” on
page 60.
Effects in each mode
Program mode
With Programs, you can use insert effects to process the final
sound in the same way that you use the Filter, Driver,
Amplifier, and EQ (equalizer) to process the sound from the
oscillators (OSC 1 & 2). Then the master effects are used to
create overall ambience such as reverb, and use the total
effect to make final adjustments. All of these settings can be
made independently for each program.
Combination, Sequencer mode
In Combination and Sequencer modes, you can use the track EQ
and insert effects to process the program sound of each timbre/
track. You can then use the master effects to create overall
ambience, and use the total effect to make final adjustments.
In Combination mode you can make these settings for each
combination, and in Sequencer mode you can make them for
each song.
In Sequencer mode, you can switch between effects or
modify the effect parameters and record these changes, so
that effects will switch automatically or effect parameters
will be modified automatically as the song plays back.
