A suggested approach for
editing
First,selectaProgramforeachTimbre,ontheP0:
Play–ProgramT01–08orT09–16page.(Notethatyou
don’thavetouseall16Timbres)
Next,createanydesiredkeyboardorvelocitysplits,
layers,orcrossfadesbetweenthedifferentTimbres.
YoucandothisontheP4:Zone/Delay–Keyboard
Zonespage.
Afterthis,adjustthevolumesoftheTimbres(backon
theProgramSelect/Mi
xertab),andsetupanyother
Timbreparametersasdesired.
Toaddfinishingtouchestothesound,setuptheInsert,
Master,andTotalEffectasdesired(ontheP8:Routing/
IFXandP9:MFX/TFX/LFOpages,respectively.)These
effectscanbedifferentfromthoseassociatedwiththe
individualProgramsinProgrammode,ifde
sired.
Inaddition,youcanmakearpeggiatoranddrumtrack
settings(ontheP7:ART/DTpage)andcontroller
settings(ontheP1:Controllerspage)tocreatethe
finishedCombination.
Soloing timbres
YoucanusetheControlSurface’sSolofunctiontohear
thesoundofeachtimbrebyitself.
Fordetails,pleasesee“SoloOn/Off”onpage 72ofthe
ParameterGuide.
Restoring edited settings
Using COMPARE
Whenyou’reintheprocessofeditingasound,
pressingtheCOMPAREbuttonwillrecallthesaved
versionofthesound,asitwasbeforeyoustarted
editing.
Fordetails,pleasesee“Comparefunction”onpage 11.
Layers, Splits, and Velocity
Switches
WithinaCombination,youcanusenoterangeand
velocityleveltodefinethe“zone”inwhichaspecific
timbrewillplay.
TheProgramsassignedtoeachTimbrecanbeplayed
inthreeways:aspartofalayer,asplit,oravelocity
switch.ACombinationcanbesettouseanyoneof
thesemethodsortousetwoormoreofthesemethods
simultaneously.
Layer
LayerscausetwoormoreProgramstoplay
simultaneouslywhenanoteisplayed.
Split
SplitscausedifferentProgramstorespondondifferent
areasofthekeyboard.
Velocity Switch
VelocitySwitchescausedifferentProgramstorespond
dependingonthevelocity(howhardyouplaythe
notes).
OntheKROME,youcanuseadifferentProgramfor
eachofuptosixteenTimbres,andcombinetwoor
moreoftheabovemethodstocreateevenmore
complexsetups.
Asanadditionalpossibility,yo
ucansettheslopefora
keyzoneorvelocityzonesothatthevolume
diminishesgradually.Thisletsyouchangeasplitintoa
keyboardcrossfade,oravelocityswitchintoavelocity
crossfade.

Program A
Layer:
Two or more programs sound
simultaneously.
Program B
Program A
Split:
Dierent programs will sound in
dierent areas of the keyboard.

Program B
Keyboard playing

Strong
Soft
Velocity Switch:
Keyboard playing dynamics
(velocity) switches between
dierent programs.

Example:
B and C/D are split. In the lower
keyboard range, A and B are
layered. In the higher keyboard
range, C and D are switched by
velocity and layered with A.
Program A
Program B
Keyboard X-Fade (keyboard
crossfade):
As you play from low notes to
high notes, the volume of A
will fade out, and the volume
of B will fade in.
