Effect Guide
Overview
The KROSS provides five insert effects, and two master effects,
together with a mixer section that controls the routing of these
effects.
For each of these effect processors, you can choose from 134
different types of effects, grouped into the following categories:
Classification of 134 effects
Effects in each mode
Program mode
With Programs, you can use insert effects to process the final
sound in the same way that you use the Filter, Amplifier, and EQ
(equalizer) to process the sound from the oscillators (OSC 1 & 2).
You can also use insert effects on the Drum Track and the step
sequencer.
Then the master effects are used to create overall ambience such as
reverb to make final adjustments. All of these settings can be made
independently for each program.
Combination, Sequencer mode
In Combination and Sequencer modes, you can use the insert
effects to process the program sound of each timbre/track. You can
then use the master effects to create overall ambience to make final
adjustments.
In Combination mode you can adjust these settings for each com-
bination, and in Sequencer mode you can make them for each
song.
You can use the Copy From Program, Copy Insert Effect, or Copy
Master Effect functions to copy effect settings from Program
mode.
In Sequencer mode, you can switch between effects or modify the
effect parameters and record these changes, so that effects will
switch automatically or effect parameters will be modified auto-
matically as the song plays back.
Note: The effect settings specified for a program are not recalled
automatically when you select a program for a timbre in
Combination mode or for a track in Sequencer mode. You'll need
to adjust these settings separately, for example by using the
functions listed above.]
