Adjusting Global KROME setings
How Global mode is structured
InGlobalmodeyoucanadjustoverallsettingsforthe
entireKROME.Theseconsistmainlyofthefollowing
settings.
•Mastertune
•Keytranspose
• Effectglobalbutton
•GlobalMIDIchannel
• Creatingscales
• Damperpedal,assignablefootswitch/pedal
• Categorynamesforprogramsandcombinations
• Creatinguserdrumkits
• Creatinguserarpeggiopatterns

Tuning and Transposing
Tuning to another instrument
Toadjustthetuninginfineincrements,inorderto
matchotherinstrumentsorrecordedmusic:
1. InGlobalmode,gotoP0:BasicSetup–Basicpage.
2. AdjusttheMasterTunetothedesiredpitch.
TheMasterTuneisadjustableoverarangeof±50cents
(onesemitone=100cents).WhenMasterTuneisat0,
middleAistunedto440Hz.
Transposing the keyboard
Youcanalsotransposethekeyboardinsemitones,for
quickkey‐changes(forinstance,ifthebanddecidesto
playasonginFratherthanE).Todoso:
1. InGlobalmode,gotoP0:BasicSetup–Basicpage.
2. AdjusttheKeyTransposeasdesired.
Youcanadjustthetranspositionoverarangeof±1
octave.

respondstohowyouplayonthekeyboard.The
defaultsettingshouldworkformostplayers,butthere
aremanyotherchoicestoletyoucustomizethe
responsetomatchyourownstyle.
Tosetthevelocityandaftertouchcurves:
1. InGlobalmode,gotoP0:BasicSetup–Basicpage.
2. SettheVelocityCurvetosuityourplayingstyle.
VelocityCurve4isthedefault,andshouldworkfor
mostplayers.
