Hi folks, I need your help! It's possible to control the volume of the audio inputs (both at the same time) via some slider? I can't do it with the volume behind the Kronos while I'm playing, I need to go down, up, down again, etc in various songs. Thank you in advance.

In the Control Assign section, to the left of the sliders, press the Audio button. On the screen, select the Control Surface tab. It will be possible to see that sliders 1 and 2 can be used to control Input 1 and 2 levels, respectively. It's not necessary to have the Control Surface displayed on screen for this to work; just having the Audio button selected is sufficient. OK, so it requires use of two sliders, rather than one, but they are next to each other.

Yes, just press the "Audio" button under "Control Assign" and then the first 2 Sliders control your Audio input

Thank you both! One more question: Can I manage the volume of the prog/combi with the expression pedal as always but leaving untouched the input volumes? I have moments where I need to keep playing with the VSTs that are connected to the inputs with the Combi sounds all muted, and later the Combi increases the volume while the inputs keep playing.

I refuse to use an external mixer for all this because I can't stop using both hands to manage volumes in most cases, I'm sure the Kronos can do all this be I can't figure it out.

Yes. An expression pedal can be used to alter the volume of the Kronos' internal sounds, without affecting the volume of the external inputs, provided that, in Globals, Foot Pedal Assign is set to Volume (CC#07), or Expression (CC#11), and not Master Volume.

Doesn’t work, it alters the volume of the inputs, selecting Volume or Expression does the same as Master Volume… what’s wrong? Thanks

How are the audio inputs being routed? If they're being passed through Kronos effects, then Expression may be being used by those effects. Try routing the audio inputs to the L/R Bus.

Also make sure of your MIDI channels.
The expression pedal sends CC on a certain MIDI channel.
By default that is going to channel 1.

Put your soft synths are on a different channel, like channel 3.
That way the pedal should not affect the volume of the soft synth.
