Basic operations
Afteryou’veturnedontheKRONOS,here’showto
performbasicoperationssuchasselectingmodesand
pages.
1. Selecting modes
InordertouseaparticularfunctionontheKRONOS,
youmustfirstselecttheappropriatemode.
Pressoneofthefrontpanelmodebuttonstoenterthe
correspondingmode.TheseincludeSETLIST,
COMBI(Combinationmode),PROG(Programmode),
SEQ(Sequencermode),SAMPLING,GLOBAL,and
DISK.
2. Selecting pages
Eachmodehasalargenumberofparameters,which
aregroupedintopages.Thesearefurthersubdivided
bytabsintouptoninetabpages.
1. Selectthedesiredmode,asdescribedabove.
We’lluseProgrammodeasanexampleforour
explanation,sopressthePROGswitch.
2. Pressatabinthelowerline(pagegrouptabs).
Asanexamplehere,presstheBasic/Vectortab.The
currentpageindicationintheupperleftoftheLCD
screenwillindicate“PROGRAMP1:Basic/Vector,”
andthepagegroupwillchange.
WhenyoupresstheEXITswitch,youwillreturntoP0
fromanypage.
3. Pressatabintheupperline(
pagetabs)toselecta
page.
Asanexamplehere,presstheVectorControltab.The
currentpageindicationintheupperleftoftheLCD
screenwillstaythesame,buttheupperright
indicationwillchangeto“VectorControl.”You’ve
selectedtheVectorControlpage.
Note:Insom
ecases,theremaynotbeanytabsinthe
upperline.
3. Editing parameters
Theparametervalueintheeditcellcanbesetbyusing
thefrontpanelVALUEcontrollers(VALUEslider,
/ switches,VALUEdial,numerickeys0–9,–
switch,ENTERswitch,and(.)switch).Asnecessary,
youcanalsousetheBANKswitchesandthe
COMPAREswitch.
Forsomeparameters,youcanusetheBA
NKSELECT
switchestoselectthebankofaprogrametc.,orpressa
popupbuttontoaccessapopupmenuwhereyoucan
specifythevalueoftheparameter.Insomecases,you
canholddowntheENTERswitchandplayanoteon
thekeyboardtospecifyanoteoravel
