Sequencer
58
You can select the drum program that you want, and specify 
how it will start.
The step sequencer uses the drum program of track 16. You 
can use buttons 1–16 to intuitively create drum loop patterns 
and play them. For more about the step sequencer, please see 
page 81.
Recording System Exclusive events
Exclusive messages received from an external MIDI device 
or the parameter changes produced when you edit a track 
parameter or effect parameter can be recorded in real time on 
any track.
During playback, the exclusive messages you recorded will 
control the track parameters and effect parameters of the 
song, and can be sent to external MIDI devices.
GM, XG, and GS exclusive messages can be recorded 
on a track, but the KROSS’s tone generator will not 
respond to these messages.
Using realtime controls to record changes in 
a MIDI track’s pan, EQ, volume, and tone 
adjust
By controlling the pan, EQ, volume, and tone adjust 
parameters during realtime recording, you can record these 
changes so that they will be reflected during playback.
Use multi-track recording if you want to modify the settings 
of multiple tracks simultaneously.
Note: Controlling these parameters will transmit control 
change or system exclusive messages. In order for this data 
to be recorded, the G-MIDI> FILTER Enable Control 
Change and Enable Exclusive settings must be checked. Go 
to Global mode and verify that these items are checked.
Note: Use Param. MIDI Out in G-MIDI> OUT page to 
specify whether control change messages or system 
exclusive messages will be transmitted when you edit the 
Pan (CC#10), Volume (CC#7), or Send 1/2 level (CC#93 and 
CC#91) parameters.
Recording internal parameter changes
You can use SysEx for automation of internal KROSS 
effects and Program parameters.
Here we’ll explain how to record internal parameter 
changes. As an example, we’ll explain how parameter 
changes recorded on a different track can be used to modify 
the parameters of the insert effect (IFX1) applied to the 
program of track 1.
Note: In order to record system exclusive messages, make 
sure that the G-MIDI> FILTER setting Enable Exclusive is 
checked. Go to Global mode and verify that this is checked.
1. Select the desired program for MIDI track 1, and 
route it to IFX1. Then record a phrase of about 
sixteen measures.
• In the SEQ> PROG page, use “Program Select” to select 
the desired program for MIDI Track 01.
• In the S-FX ROUTING> BUS page, route the Track 01 
Bus to IFX1. Then in the S-FX ROUTING> IFX page, 
select the desired effect for IFX1.
• Select Track 01 in Track Select. Then press the 
SEQUENCER REC (
) button and then the START/
STOP (
) button, and record a phrase of about 
sixteen measures.
2. Select Track 09 in “Track Select,” and record 
parameter changes as desired.
Note: For this example, select an empty track. If you 
want to record onto a MIDI track that already contains 
data, set the SEC> REC page Recording Setup to 
“Overdub.” 
• Select Track 09 in Track Select. Then press the 
SEQUENCER REC (
) button and then the START/
STOP (
) button, and begin recording.
• At the appropriate time while recording, adjust the 
parameter(s) that you want to realtime-record.
In the S-FX ROUTING> IFX page, select another effect 
for IFX1, and modify the effect parameter values.
Note: In addition to effect parameter changes, you can 
also record parameters such as sound parameters. For 
details on the parameters that can be recorded, please see 
page 152 of the Parameter Guide.
3. Stop recording.
Note: Exclusive messages are always recorded on the 
current track selected by Track Select. In this example, 
they are recorded on MIDI track 9.
Note: In the event edit page you can view the recorded 
exclusive events and their location. Exclusive events are 
displayed as “EXCL”.
To view these events, go to the S-TRACK EDIT page, 
and select the MIDI Event Edit function. Then in the Set 
Event Filters dialog box, check Exclusive and press the 
OK button.
Exclusive events cannot be changed to a different type 
of event. Nor can other events be changed into 
exclusive events.
4. If you go to the page (e.g., S-FX ROUTING> IFX) 
that shows the parameters you’ve adjusted in 
realtime, you can watch the recorded changes be 
reproduced while the song plays back.
Exclusive messages that will be recorded during 
realtime recording
The following exclusive messages will be recorded. (see 
page 152 of the Parameter Guide)
• Exclusive messages received from an external MIDI 
device.
• Parameter changes in Sequencer mode.
• Master Volume universal system exclusive messages 
assigned to a foot pedal.

Song editing
You can apply a variety of editing procedures to a song. The 
available types of editing procedures are listed below.
Song
Load (Save) Template Song: Loads a song template into 
the song (or saves a song as a template). (see page 55)
Copy From Combination/Copy From Program: Copies 
the settings of the specified combination/program to the 
settings of the song that’s currently selected.
Copy From Song: This command copies all of the settings 
and musical data from the specified song to the song that’s 
currently selected. 
Rename song: Renames the selected song. You can enter up 
to 24 characters.
Delete Song: This command deletes the currently selected 
song. 
FF/REW Speed: This allows you to set the speed at which 
fast-forward or rewind will occur when you press the FF 
(
) button or REW (
) button. 
GM Initialize: This command transmits a GM System On 
message to the Sequencer mode, resetting all MIDI tracks to 
the GM settings.
Set Song Length: This command changes the length of the 
specified song. 
Tracks
Event Edit: Here you can edit individual events of MIDI 
data.
Erase Track: This command erases the data from the 
specified track. 
Copy/Bounce Track: The Copy Track command copies 
musical data from the copy source track to the specified 
track. The Bounce Track command combines the musical 
data of the bounce source and bounce destination tracks, and 
places the combined data in the bounce destination. All 
musical data in the bounce source will be erased.
Erase Measure: This command erases the specified type(s) 
of musical data from the specified range of measures. The 
Erase Measure command can also be used to remove only a 
specific type of data. Unlike the Delete Measure command, 
executing the Erase Measure command does not cause the 
subsequent measures of musical data to be moved forward. 
Delete Measure: This command deletes the specified 
measures. When the Delete Measure command is executed, 
the musical data following the deleted measures will be 
moved towards the beginning of the sequence. 
Insert Measure: This command inserts the specified 
number of measures into the specified track. When you 
execute the Insert Measure command, the musical data 
following the insert location will be moved backward.
Repeat Measure: This command repeatedly inserts the 
specified measures for the specified number of times. When 
you execute the Repeat Measure command, the measures 
will be inserted following the measure specified by To End 
of Measure, and musical data following the inserted data 
will be moved backward.
Copy Measure: This command copies the measures of 
musical data specified as the “From” source to the beginning 
of the measure specified as the “To” location. When you 
execute the Copy Measure command, the existing track data 
at the copy destination will be rewritten.
Move Measure: This command moves the specified 
measures of performance data to another measure. When 
you execute the Move Measure command, the performance 
data following the move-source measures will move forward 
by the corresponding number of measures, and the 
performance data following the move-destination will move 
backward (i.e., later in the song) by the same number of 
measures.
Create/Erase Control: The Create Control command 
creates control change, aftertouch, pitch bend, or tempo data 
in the specified region of a MIDI track or the tempo track. 
The Erase Control command erases data such as control 
changes, aftertouch, pitch bend, or tempo in the specified 
range.
Quantize: This command corrects the timing of MIDI data 
of the type you specify (note data, control change, 
aftertouch, pitch bend, program change, etc.) in the 
track.You can also adjust for swing.
Shift/Erase Note: This command shifts (moves) or erases 
the specified note numbers in a specified MIDI track and 
range of measures.
Modify Velocity: This command modifies the velocity 
values of notes in the specified area so that they will change 
over time according to a selected curve.
Rename Track: This command renames the selected track. 
You can enter up to 24 characters.
