Connecting the power
Power button, Power supply jack,
Cord hook
Using the following procedure, connect the AC power
supply adapter.
If you want to use batteries, refer to “Using batteries.”
1. Check
Check the following before you connect anything.
• Use an AC outlet of the correct voltage
• Use only the included AC adapter
2. Connect the AC adapter
a. Connect the DC plug of the included AC adapter to the
power supply jack of the KROSS.
b. Connect the plug of the AC adapter to an AC outlet.
c. To prevent the DC plug from being inadvertently
disconnected, use the cord hook of the KROSS to fasten
the cord.
The KROSS has an auto power-off function. If four
hours elapse with no user input on the KROSS, the
power will turn off automatically (factory setting).
(See “Auto power-off function” on page 8.)
Connecting your audio equipment
Turn off the power to your equipment before you
connect anything. If you connect gear while the power
is on, you risk damaging your equipment or speakers.
Audio output jacks
Connect these jacks to your powered monitors or mixer.
Use the VOLUME knob to adjust the volume.
Mic input jack
This is a monaural input jack for connecting a dynamic mic
or an electric guitar.
(This is a 1/4" phone jack. It does not support phantom
power or plug-in power.)
Line input jack
This is a stereo line input jack for connecting your audio
player. (Stereo mini-jack)
Note: Use the AUDIO IN dialog box to make input settings.
(See page 19)
Note: You cannot use the mic input and line input signals
simultaneously.
Connecting your computer and MIDI
equipment
USB B port
You can connect your computer here, and transfer
performance data and sound settings via MIDI.
MIDI IN/OUT connectors
You can connect an external MIDI device here, and transfer
performance data and sound settings via MIDI.
Preparing to save/load data
SD card slot
You can use an SD card to save/load sounds and song data,
and for recording/playback with the audio recorder.
The KROSS can use SD and SDHC memory cards.
You must format an SD card before using it for the first
time with the KROSS. For details on formatting, refer
to page 19.
Inserting/removing an SD card
1. Inserting an SD card into the slot
With the label facing upward, insert a commercially-
available SD card into the SD card slot, and push it in
until you hear it click into place.
Make sure that the card is oriented correctly.
2. Removing an SD card
Push the card inward; you will hear a click, and the card
will pop outward, allowing you to pull it completely out
of the slot.
Note: Store SD cards correctly as directed by the manual
accompanying your card.
Never insert or remove the SD card while data
access is occurring, such as while the KROSS is
starting-up or powering-off, while saving/loading, or
while playing or recording on the audio recorder.
Connecting foot controllers
You can connect optional pedals (sold separately) that let
you control the KROSS with your feet.
Note: When connecting these optional pedals for the first
time, you’ll need to specify the polarity and assign their
function. (See “Connecting foot controllers” of the
Operation Guide)
Damper pedal jack
You can use a damper pedal (separately sold) to control the
damper effect, which sustains the sound even
after you take your hands off the keyboard.
