favorite to the clipboard.

Convenient ways to use favorites
Here are some ways to take advantage of favorites for even
more convenience.
For each favorite, you can adjust the
following settings.
• Change the sound that’s registered (see “Modifying an
existing favorite registration” on page 49)
• Specify an audio song that will be recalled together with
the sound
• Specify a program change and bank select that will be
transmitted via MIDI
You can adjust these settings by editing the favorite. To edit
a favorite, proceed as follows.
Specifying an audio song and
program change
1. Access the edit page as described in steps 1 and 2 of
the “Modifying an existing favorite registration”
section on page 49.
2. In the edit screen, specify the parameters for each
favorite.
If you want an audio recorder song to also be recalled
when you use a favorite to recall a sound, set the Audio
Recorder Setting to specify the audio song number. If this
is set to Keep Current, the
current audio song and
playback status will be maintained.
To play back the audio song, press the
button.
Note: If you switch audio songs during playback, the
playback will automatically stop. To start playback, press
the
button.
Tip: To return to the beginning of the audio song, press
the 1–16 button that’s assigned to the song you want to
play once again.
If you want to recall a sound on an external MIDI
device, adjust the appropriate Favorites Mode Select
settings.
Choose Internal if you want to play one of the KROSS
internal sound generator’s sounds. When you register a
sound
from the front panel, that favorite is automatically
specified as Internal. When you recall a favorite that’s
specified as Internal, the program change that’s assigned
to that favorite will be transmitted. (E.g., A-3=002, B-
1=016)
Choose the External MIDI setting if you want to recall a
sound on an external MIDI device. The internal sound
generator will be disabled, and will not produce sound.
Note: If you want to simultaneously switch and play
sounds on the internal sound generator as well as an
external MIDI sound module, use a combination with the
EXT or EX2 settings. (see page 71 of the Parameter
Guide)

When you’ve finished
registering sounds to buttons, save
your Favorites settings. If you turn off the power without
saving your settings, they will be lost.
1. Press the FAVORITES button to turn on the Favorites
function.
2. Press the FUNCTION button, use the ▲(PAGE–)

Sequencer
Overview
About the KROSS’s Sequencer
The sequencer brings together the KROSS’s numerous
functions such as its arpeggiator,
Drum Track, Step
sequencer, high-performance effects, and controllers,
allowing you to take advantage of these in a wide range of
situations.
This sequencer is a 16-track MIDI sequencer that can store
up to 128 songs and 210,000 MIDI events. You can use it to
record and play back notes for the internal sound generator
as well as for external MIDI sound modules.
When you turn off the power, the settings that were
created in Sequencer mode as well as the song data that
you recorded will not be backed up. If you wish to keep
this data, you must save it on an SD card before turning
off the power.
If you wish to write the programs,
track parameters,
effects, and arpeggiator settings etc. that were used for a
song as a template song, use the
Save Template Song
function.
Immediately after the power is turned on, the KROSS
will not contain any song data, so if you wish to play a
song on the sequencer, you must first load data from an
SD card, or receive
a MIDI data dump from a MIDI
filer. For details, please see page 108, and page 177 of
the Parameter Guide.
Sequencer mode structure
Sequencer mode is structured as follows.
A song consists of tracks 1–16, a tempo track, song
parameters such as the song name, arpeggiator, Drum Track,
Step sequencer function, and effect parameters.
Tracks 1–16 consist of setup parameters (such as each
track’s program, pan, and volume) located at the start of the
song, and the musical data itself. The tempo track consists of
tempo and time signature data. (see “Setup parameters &
Musical data” on page 100 of the Parameter Guide)
Song recording and editing
You can record in real time onto tracks 1–16. Realtime
recording gives you a choice of six recording modes.
You can edit tracks 1–16 in units of tracks or measures, and
you can also edit individual notes and other events. For
example, you can use functions such
as Create Control Data
to insert a pitch bend, aftertouch, or control change data.
