Audio Recorder
Overview of the audio recorder
function
• This is a high-quality digital audio recorder that records onto an
SD card inserted into the KROSS.
• The audio recorder gives you an easy way to record your
phrases and ideas anytime you're playing, regardless of the
sound or mode (except for Media mode).
• You can record up to 200 songs, and each song allows up to
three hours of recording.
* The actual total time for a multi-track recording will depend
on the free capacity of the SD card.
A single pass of recording will store approximately 11 MB of
data per minute. This means that 1 GB allows you to record
approximately 90 minutes. When you perform multi-track
recording, additional data will be stored on the SD card accord-
ing to the length of the recording. These recording times are
approximate. Since song management data is also stored, the
actual recordable time may be shorter depending on the number
of songs.
• Up to 128 audio songs can be assigned to pads 1-16 of banks A-
H, and played back by pressing the pads.
• In addition to recording the sound of what you play on the
keyboard or play back from the sequencer, the audio recorder
can also record an external audio source such as a mic, guitar,
or from an audio player that's connected to the KROSS.
In addition, you can play back the recorded audio while mixing
your performance on the KROSS or another external audio
source, and overdub as many times as you like.
• The insert/master effects that you use with programs etc. can
also be inserted to process the external audio source while you
record.
• Loop-playback is available.
• The recorded audio data is in PCM audio format (48 kHz/16-
bit, stereo).
• By exporting the recorded audio data to the SD card as a
WAVE file (48 kHz, 16-bit), you can use it with your computer.
You can also play an imported WAVE file (44.1 kHz/16-bit*, 48
kHz/16-bit, stereo).
* 44.1 kHz is automatically converted to 48 kHz.
If the SD card is being used by the KROSS for the first time,
you’ll need to format it in GLOBAL/MEDIA mode. (see
“Formatting SD card” on page 128 of the Operation Guide)
Note: When using an SD card with the KROSS for the first time,
KORG/KROSS2/AUDIO and DATA folders will be created
automatically to make the card usable by the KROSS.
Never remove the SD card during recording or playback.
Doing so may temporarily destabilize the KROSS.
