Combination mode
86
7: C–DRUM TRACK
Here you can adjust settings for the Drum Track used by the
combination.
Here you can select a pattern for the Drum Track, specify how it
will start playing (Trigger), and specify the channel that it will
play.
Unlike Program mode, Combination mode does not have a timbre
dedicated to the Drum Track; you must assign one of the timbres
1–16 to the Drum Track. To play the Drum Track pattern, you'll
need to assign a drum program to a timbre and set the Drum
Track's output MIDI channel to match that timbre's MIDI channel.
In Combination mode, the Drum Track's synchronized start
function (Trigger) will synchronize only to playing on the global
MIDI channel, regardless of this channel setting.
MIDI transmission and reception for the drum track
In Combination mode, the Drum Track function transmits and
receives on the following MIDI channels.
Receive: If you’re controlling the triggering by playing the
keyboard, the drum track will receive on the global MIDI channel.
Transmit: The drum track will transmit on the MIDI channel
specified by the Drum Pattern Output setting (C–DRUM TRAK>
CHANNEL) of each combination.
Set this to match the MIDI channel of the timbre you’ve specified
for the drum program.
If the timbre’s Status is EXT or EX2, the note data etc. of the
Drum Track pattern will be transmitted.
If local control (“Local Control On: G–MIDI) is on, playing the
KROSS's keyboard will not make the internal sound generator
produce sound, nor can the keyboard trigger the arpeggiator or
drum track. However, they can be triggered by note-on messages
from MIDI IN.
7–1: PATTERN
Pattern [000, 001...772]
This selects the drum pattern.
Shift [–24...+00...+24]
This transposes the drum pattern in semitone steps. This means
that the instruments of the drum kit will change.
Note: If you've selected a GM drum program for the Drum Track,
you should set this to -12.
Trigger Mode [Start Immediately, Wait KBD Trigger]
Start Immediately: When you press the DRUM TRACK button
to turn it on (LED lit), the drum pattern will start according to the
Sync setting. When you turn it off (LED dark), the drum pattern
will stop.
Wait KBD Trigger: When you press the DRUM TRACK button
to turn it on (LED lit), the drum pattern will wait to start. When
you play the keyboard, or when a MIDI note-on is received, the
drum pattern will start according to the Sync setting.
If you’ve selected Start Immediately, the DRUM TRACK
button will always be saved in the OFF state.
Sync [Off, On]
Off: The drum pattern will not synchronize to the currently-
running arpeggiator or step sequencer, but will start immediately.
On: The drum pattern will synchronize to the currently-running
arpeggiator or step sequencer.
Note: Use C–ARP> A (or B) Key Sync to specify whether the
arpeggiator will synchronize to the currently-running drum
pattern.
Latch [Off, On]
This specifies whether the drum track will continue playing even
after you take your hand off the keyboard.
This is valid if Trigger Mode is Wait KBD Trigger.
Off: If the DRUM TRACK button is on (LED blinking), the
pattern will start when you play the keyboard (note-on). The
pattern will stop when you release the keyboard (note-off).
On: If the DRUM TRACK button is on (LED blinking), the
pattern will start when you play the keyboard (note-on). The
pattern will continue when you release the keyboard (note-off).
The pattern will stop when you turn the DRUM TRACK button off
(LED dark).
