Sequencer mode
100
Setup parameters & Musical data
Each song consists of MIDI tracks 1–16, a tempo track as well as
various song parameters such as the song name, settings for the
arpeggiator, drum track function, step sequencer function, and
effect settings.
Up to 128 such songs can be created in the KROSS.
MIDI tracks 1–16 each consist of “track parameters” that specify
the starting state of the track, and “playback data.” The tempo
track consists of tempo and time signature data.

* When you change the setting during realtime-recording, this
will be recorded as musical data (Program change and Control
change messages). This allows the initial settings to be modified
during the playback.
**Musical data (MIDI RPN data) can be used to change the initial
settings during playback.
Other parameters: You can adjust parameters during realtime
recording and record these changes as MIDI System Exclusive
messages. This means that the settings at the start of playback
can change as the song progresses.
• For details on Control Change messages and RPN, please see
“Control change” on page 315, and “Using RPN (Registered
Parameter Numbers)” on page 317.

The Global mode “SEQ Mode” setting
In Sequencer mode you will normally use the internal sequencer as
the master that controls the internal sound generator or external
MIDI sound modules. However, you can also use the KROSS as a
multi-timbral sound module that can simultaneously play multiple
tracks of performance data from an external MIDI sequencer.
(Normally you’ll use Combination mode if you want to use the
KROSS as a master keyboard.)
You can switch the KROSS’s setting as appropriate for these two
purposes. This setting is made in G–MIDI> OUT page SEQ Mode
Track MIDI Out.
“for Master” is the appropriate setting if you want to use the
KROSS’s internal sequencer to control an external sound module,
or use the KROSS in Sequencer mode as a master keyboard. In
this case when you switch songs on the KROSS, tracks where the
Status is set to EXT or BTH can transmit MIDI messages such as
program changes to set up your external MIDI sound module.
“for External-Sequencer” is the appropriate setting if you want to
use the KROSS as a multi-timbral sound module for your external
sequencer. When you switch songs on the KROSS, MIDI
messages such as program changes will not be transmitted (by
tracks whose Status is EXT or BTH). This ensures that echo-back
from your external MIDI sequencer will not cause KROSS tracks
of the corresponding MIDI channel to switch their program, pan,
or volume settings.
