Combination Select [000...127]
Here you can select a combination.
SMP (PAD SAMPLER On/Off) [Off, On]
This specifies whether timbre 15 is used for the pad sampler or as
a conventional timbre.
On (checked): Timbre 15 is used for the pad sampler. In this case,
the timbre program assigned to timbre 15 is not used (does not
sound); instead, the pad sampler will sound in response to
keyboard playing or MIDI input on the matching MIDI channel.
Off (unchecked): Timbre 15 is used as a conventional timbre.
Turn this off if there are not enough program timbres. When you
strike pads 1-16, samples will sound regardless of this setting.
STEP (STEP SEQ On/Off) [Off, On]
This specifies whether timbre 16 is used for the step sequencer or
as a conventional timbre.
On (checked): Timbre 16 is used for the step sequencer. In this
case, a drum program is assigned to timbre 16.
Off (unchecked): Timbre 16 is used as a conventional timbre.
If this is On, a drum program is assigned automatically. Even
if you then turn this Off again, the drum program will still be
assigned. Select the program that you want to use as a
conventional timbre.
To switch combinations
Choose Combination Select and turn the VALUE dial or use
the cursor buttons .
Choose Combination Select and use the sound select list (see
“Sound select list” on page 70).
Timbre 01...16 (Timbre Number)
To select a timbre, place the cursor at one of the following
parameters, and use the cursor buttons to switch timbres. The
selected timbre is called the “active timbre,” and is indicated by
square brackets [ ].
Status [Off, INT, EXT, EX2]
This sets whether the Timbre controls the internal sounds, or
external MIDI devices.
Off: Use this to disable the Timbre. With this setting, the Timbre’s
Program will not sound, and MIDI data will not be transmitted.
INT: This timbre will sound when you play the KROSS, and will
also sound in response to MIDI messages from an external MIDI
device. MIDI data will not be transmitted.
EXT: When you play the KROSS, this timbre will not produce
sound; however, MIDI data will be transmitted to an external
device.
EX2: Use this to play an external MIDI device, with custom-set
Bank Select via the Bank Select (When Status=EX2) LSB and
MSB parameters, on the C–TIMBRE> MIDI page. In all other
ways, this is the same as EXT.
Timbre Program Category: Index No. [PIANO...USER: 000...127]
Timbre Program Select [Program name]
Here you can select the program for each timbre.
Note: You can't select a program if Pad Sampler Timbre is on.
To switch programs
Choose Progaram Select and turn the VALUE dial.
Choose Program Select and use the sound selector list (see
“Sound select list” on page 70).
You can select programs by transmitting a MIDI Program
Change from a connected external MIDI device.
Note: MIDI program changes are transmitted using the Bank No.
specified in Program mode. This is a different number than the
Category Index No. shown in this page. Please be aware of this.
(see the separate “Voice Name List”)
The KROSS's combinations and timbre programs can be
switched from an external MIDI device by using MIDI bank
select and MIDI program change messages.
By default, the combination bank and number will change
when a bank select or program change message that matches
the KROSS's global MIDI channel is received. (Global MIDI
channel; see page 160 )
However, if the channel of the incoming message is different
than the KROSS's global MIDI channel, the program bank
and number will change only for timbres that match the MIDI
channel of the message.
Tip: Even for the global MIDI channel, you can change the setting
from the default so that the timbre program rather than the
combination will be switched. (see page 163 G–MIDI.
FILTER “Combination Change”)
Tip: Switching the timbre program in response to MIDI reception
can be disabled for specific timbres. (see page 82 C–MIDI
FILTER“Enable Program Change”)
When you switch combinations by using the KROSS, the
bank and number of the combination you select are
transmitted as bank select and program change messages on
the global MIDI channel.
At this time, if any of the timbres have the timbre status EXT
or EX2, the bank and number of their timbre programs will be
transmitted as bank select and program change messages on
the timbre channel. (Timbre Status;
see page 71
“Status”)
