 |
|
HI all
a lot of keyboards have an octave button which makes it easy to change up or down, so my question is, is there a simple way to change the octave up and down on the Kronos. I have looked through the manuals and search the forum but can only find some info on changing programs but not the whole keyboard.
Hope someone can help
Thanks |

in 1 of the links, this reply sort of answers your questions:
================================
"If I want to set up SW1 & SW2 for octave buttons, what should I do??
For example, When I use classic guitar, I want to set up SW1 & SW2 for octave buttons."
For HD1 programs, go to Basic/Vector then Controllers tab. For SW1 select Octave Down and SW2 select Octave Up then press Write to update the program and save these settings
For Exi programs, go to Common then Controllers tab. For SW1 select Octave Down and SW2 select Octave Up then press Write to update the program and save these settings
=================================
by now, you noticing Kronos is not a simple, 1 engine keyboard.
Its has 9 engines. Thus each engine could have its own tab where the octave
change is located. For example, you have the SG-X engine. Press the EXI 1 tab for octave change.
Some sounds have 2 oscillators. The Common tab for Bell sounds has a Transpose box.
I am pointing this out because I think its useful to know " why " something as simple as an octave change is not a simple physical button push on the Kronos

Hi all
thanks for your response, It seems I am not able to do exactly what I wanted to do! as you say the Kronos is a complicated machine so I will just try working around it with the options suggested.
Thanks |

But it could be that simple.
There could be 2 dedicated octave buttons that happen at the controller level, not at the engine level. Tons of cheap midi controllers have this, and it matters not what type of soft-synth they are controlling. It's universal because it happens before it ever gets to the engine.
Sorry, it just seems like making excuses for Korg omitting a useful feature that would've been pretty easy to implement.
For that matter dedicated transpose buttons would be nice too.
