An arp might help in combi mode if the sound (program) being played is set up so that the release time covers or disguises the initial "note-on" volume of the next note played. That could allow you to re-trigger the drone voice automatically putting it back at the head of the line where polyphony ...

I am not able to test it on Krome because I just upgraded to Kronos, but I read about an OS update (on Kronos) to avoid damper holding muted layers and reducing poliphony. Do you have OS 1.03 on your Krome? OK, I got the SD card and did the update. It did not solve, unfortunately, but I was not ...

At this point I would say that the voice allocation algorithm of the EDS engine is cycling out what it considers to be old notes even though it might not actually be necessary. One interesting observation: If I hold the keys of the drone with my left hand while playing with my right hand, the drone ...

From what you described, it seems you are holding notes from muted channels/layers,. Check if damper is disable on all 15 channels but the one you want. I am not able to test it on Krome because I just upgraded to Kronos, but I read about an OS update (on Kronos) to avoid damper holding muted ...

At this point I would say that the voice allocation algorithm of the EDS engine is cycling out what it considers to be old notes even though it might not actually be necessary. I have had similar issues with notes cutting out when triggering notes and samples of an extremely long duration. There ...

When the OSC's in the drone dies, it is very sudden and noticeable. Just to clarify what I mean by this: Each time I press a key and an OSC dies, it is heard as a noticable loss in the drone. Either in the number of notes in the chord, e.g. the top note suddenly disappears, or as a sudden loss of ...

I can't try those specific patches as I don't have a Krome. I have an M3 which also uses the EDS engine. That being said ... If the sound is gradually fading out maybe its the amp envelope. If you just hold the keys in your drone section and don't play anything else do they slowly fade out? No ...

In Combi mode, Krome has 16 layers (tracks or sounds, whatever you call it). To have a "split", you actually need to define diferent zones for each layer. Part of your keyboard will play one layer (sound) and other part will play the other layer (sound). For example, you can define left part of ...

A low speed one-note repeating pattern arp at low speed might actually sound like a rhythmic drone pattern closer to a real sitar. Yes, I was thinking along those lines also. It would fit well with some songs, however in other pieces I would like just a steady pad... Well, off to next gig. I'll ...

There is no way around your polyphony concern. It won’t matter how you layer or split the combi. Playing notes uses polyphony and every oscillator that is currently sounding uses one note of polyphony until it has completed its cycle. In other words, if you layer 16 programs and play one single n ...

..... If possible, I could solve the drone problem by using a latch pedal in the damper port, and then disabling damper on the zone I did not wish to sustain... ..... This would be an easy solution, just create a Combi assign a layer for your drone and enable damper only for that layer (P5: MIDI ...

Hello Bald Eagle and billbaker, Thank you for your suggestions. The hold function in the program mode can unfortunately not do the job. As you mention, Eagle, it still uses the polyphony shared with the rest of the keyboard, so the drone disappears as soon as a certain number of notes has been ...

Hello everyone, I play music in a fusion band, often mixed with Indian. We often need one or several notes sounding continously throughout a song, a drone note or chord. I have searched in the manual and on the keyboard for some function to facilitate this, but with no success. On other keyboards ...
