Overall settings for the KROSS, and saving/loading data
How Global/Media mode is
organized
In Global/Media mode you can adjust the following settings.
• Master tune
• Key transpose
• Effect global button
• Global MIDI channel
• Creating scales
• Damper pedal, assignable foot switch/pedal
• Creating user drum kits
• Creating user arpeggio patterns
• Save, load, and format an SD card
For details on how to access each page, please see “Basic
operations” on page 11.
The settings that you edit in the GLOBAL–DRUM KIT
pages of Global/Media mode are preserved until you
turn off the power, but will return to their previous
settings when you turn off the power. If you want to
keep these settings, you must write them into memory.
You can also save them on an SD card. (see pages 104,
106)
The Compare function that lets you return to the state
prior to your editing (or undo edits) is not available in
Global/Media mode.
Global settings
Basic settings for the KROSS
In the GLOBAL> BASIC, SYSTEM, and PREF pages you
can adjust basic settings for the KROSS itself.
Tuning to another instrument
To adjust the tuning in fine increments, in order to match
other instruments or recorded music:
• The GLOBAL> BASIC page Master Tune setting
adjusts the pitch of the KROSS.
The Master Tune function is adjustable over a range of ±50
cents (one semitone= 100 cents). When Master Tune is at 0,
middle A is tuned to 440 Hz.
Transposing the keyboard
The pitch of the KROSS can be transposed in semitone
steps. This is convenient when you want to change the key of
the song without changing your fingering on the keyboard.
When playing the KROSS by itself
• Adjust the GLOBAL> BASIC page Key Transpose setting.
The transposition range is up or down one octave in
semitone steps.
When playing via MIDI
In addition to the Key Transpose setting described above, you
can also change the Convert Position setting. By switching
the Convert Position, you can specify whether the Key
Transpose setting and the velocity curve setting (described
below) will be applied to MIDI IN or to MIDI OUT.
If you’re using an external MIDI keyboard to play the sound
generator of the KROSS, and want to transpose the pitch, set
this to Post MIDI. The velocity curve will also apply to
MIDI IN.
If you’re using the keyboard of the KROSS to play an
external MIDI sound module, and want to transpose the
pitch, set this to Pre MIDI. The velocity curve will also
apply to MIDI OUT.
Changing how velocity will affect the volume
and tone
Velocity curves let you adjust the way the KROSS responds
to your playing dynamics on the keyboard. The default
setting should work for most players, but there are many
other choices to let you customize the response to match
your own style.
