|
|
Hi all - I just got the new Kronos after 20 years with a Korg Triton. Extremely happy and blown away but I have a quick question regarding volume and live performances.
I see the main volume knob as well as a master Slider. My thinking would be to have the Main volume Knob set at a relative constant position and have the "master slider" about 3/4 up with Room to boost up for a lead ect.. I created/saved a few of my staple piano/ electric piano and organ sounds. The master slider will adjust the volume on the pianos but will not adjust organs - On organ patches it is assigned to something else but I can't figure out how to assign the master slider to work overall volume on the organs I created. Any thoughts?? I could be going about the whole process wrong - but I'd like to be able to adjust volume with a slider rather than the main volume knob. Thanks in advance! |

You should consider a volume pedal. It can be selectively assigned to any timber. I don't use the master slider because the panel mode has to be set for it to work and I use the 9 sliders for organ drawbars which means it doesn't work for volume. With the pedal, It always works to whatever I assign it to.

I just checked my K. Regardless of where the master slider Is positioned, if I select a new combi, the volume will be at max. Then it can be used to adjust the total sound. And, it works for organ too. _________________ Kronos2-61..(2) Triton Classic, Nord Stage 2, Previously owned lots of other gear dating back to the 70’s. |

Same here on my K.
I think owners should be aware that Programs, various Kronos midi instruments will vary in perceived ' volume'.
Kronos makes heavy use of Fx. Fx and EQ will contribute to increased ' volume'.
For example, drum kits are slamming loud- at least to my ear.
Distorted guitars- sure, they are loud. Due to Fx Gain, tube modeling, etc etc.
And some of the Organ programs, have distortion, compression or grit, by program design. _________________ Kronos 88. MODX8

Hi there,
Master slider works the same for the CX-3 organs. It's just that many factory programs are set by default on Tone adjust for the control surface. So on many CX-3 organ programs, the "master slider" becomes/emulates the ninth drawbar, as it should be on a real Hammond organ. By selecting RT knobs instead, master slider works as it should.
To start any program with a different initial volume (or in a different control surface initial setting), simply save the program after you adjusted those parameters. Note that there is also a volume adjust parameter in Set List mode for any program/combi you want to add there. Hope this helps. |
