I'm considering getting a used Kross 1 (I'm on a budget) but saw this on a review:

It's also a shame the KROSS has so few real-time controllers. This severely limits its ability as a dynamic live board and as a MIDI controller and makes editing fiddly too. All editing has to be done with the cursors/data entry dial and involves lots of menu diving/button pressing. In this respect, the KROSS is a downgrade from the X50, PS60 and MicroStation, all of which included real-time dials.


I don't really understand what this means. Does that mean you can't adjust filter cutoff, panning, pitch, effects, et cetera while a song is playing? Does that mean you can't record automation either?

Thanks.

It doesn't mean that.

It means there aren't many knobs to twiddle.

You absolutely can adjust filter, panning, pitch and the rest of it, while the song is playing.

You absolutely can record automation.

I have done all of the above on my Kross 1.

I just use an external MIDI controller for those purposes (I chose the Behringer BCR2000).

If you need a few knobs right on the board, the Krome is the next in the range and it has a bit of a parameter matrix.

If you need ultramegaknobulation, get a suitable MIDI controller and use a Kross (or Krome, or whatever) as a sound module.

The new Kross 2 has realtime Fx controls on the front panel.
