Hold + Key to Stop

Post by amenezes »

Hello experts, how are you?
I believe this is a simple quest, but I didn't realize how to do it. I have some drone sounds that are configured with the hold system, and has configured C6 as the key to stop this hole process. I tried to find how to do the same with other sounds, but I didn't find how to.

How can I configure a program to stop the hold process when I press a key?

Hi,

I'm sitting not at the kronos at the moment, but I think you can go to the basic menu... it should be the second in the bottom line.
In the bottom square you can see the range, where the hold function is active for OSC1 and OSC2. If the sound really use the hold function and not the Karma or Drum Track!

Than you can change the hold range and use the key without hold function for the stop.

Thank you very much!

I tried to do this. I've configured the key zones until B5 and configured the hold function, but when I click in any of the other keys out of the range (from C6), the sound doesn't stop.

Do I have to configure the other keys with some function? Or don't be part of the hold zone should be sufficient?

I use drones all the time. My solution was this. If the drone is short or moderate in length, I can set the ADSR settings for it to stop on its own. Secondly, I always assign the drone sounds to the Vector Volume and +Y. That way, any drones sounding that I need to stop I can pull the Vector Joystick down. I can even fade it out by moving the JS slowly.
Hope this is helpful,
