Sampling in Program and Combination modes
Overview
InadditiontousingSamplemode,youcanalsosample
bothexternalaudiosourcesandinternalsoundsin
Program,Combination,andSequencermodes.
Forinstance,youcanresampleaperformancethatuses
theKRONOS’sfullrangeoffeatures,includingfilters,
effects,DrumTrack,andKARMA.Youcaneven
sampleafull,multitimbralsequenc
e,playedeither
fromtheinternalsequenceroranexternalMIDI
sequencer.
YoucanalsosampletheKRONOS’sperformance
togetherwithaudiofromanexternalinputsource,or
monitortheperformanceoftheKRONOS’sKARMA
functionandsequenceretc.whileyousampleonlythe
externalaudiofromtheinputjacks.
Resampling a KARMA phrase in Program mode
Youcanresamplethesoundofaprogramor
combinationbeingplayedbyyourselforbyKARMA.
Inthisexample,we’llexplainhowtosamplea
KARMA‐generatedphraseinProgrammode.Youcan
sampleinasimilarwayinCombinationorSequencer
modesaswell.
1. PressthePROGRAMbuttontoenterPr
ogram
mode,andselecttheprogramthatyouwantto
resample.
2. TurnonKARMA(KARMAON/OFFswitchlit),
playthekeyboard,andverifythataphraseis
generated.
3. PresstheAudioIn/SamplingtabtogototheP0:
Play–AudioInput/Samplingpage.
Makethefollowingsettings.
–AudioInput–
“UseGlobalSetting”:Off
BusSelect(IFX/Indiv
.):Off
TurnallexternalinputsOff.
–RECORDINGLEVEL–
RecordingLevel:0.0
Thisisthedefaultsettingforresampling.
–SamplingSetup–
SourceBus:L/R
ThesoundsenttotheL/Rbuswillberesampled.
“Trigger”:NoteOn
Samplingwillstartthemomentyouplaythe
keyboard.
“Saveto”:RAM

RAMmemory.
“Mode”:Stereo
ThesoundoftheinternalL/Rchannelswillbe
sampledinstereo.
Tip:TheKRONOSwillautomaticallymakethe
