KRONOS and MIDI controller question

Post by Vangelismusic »

If I remember correctly this question came up, I just can't find it, anyhow, my question is: How can I use the KRONOS with a controller keyboard on top to add more sounds to the controller? probably basic but I haven't really worked with multi-timbral, does it matter if I have the KRONOS in combi or program?

thanks

Use combi mode. Set your controller to send to a different Midi Channel other than what the Kronos is set to.
Check out the Kronos Parameter Guide page 456. On your Kronos, this would be Timber Parameter/MIDI. This is where you set the Midi channels for controller keyboards. You can also layer and split to your hearts content on both keyboards too!

In combi mode, I would also have the same effects that program has?

Please be more specific? do you mean assign the effects to every sound? in combi? I am new to this and never used it this way.

This will be your friend for a while. It's tough to be red in its entire lenght, but it's freaking useful.
Keep feeling good.
