I was surprised that you can't access any of the DrumSamples in the HD1 engine. Looks like it's best to import custom drums. For basic work, there are some drum samples in the Wavestation category (found between the Synth Waves and Single Waves). They're 911-922. ==== I tried out waves Exs1 mono 134 ...

Just another thing I haven't figured out yet.... No, pitch can't be modulated by an AMS source in CX-3 engine. But if you want to use a kind of sequence with a CX-3 sound, you can do it by creating first a pattern in SEQ mode, then convert it into a Drum Track Pattern and then use it in you Prog ...

I specifically honed in on the MOD7. I never liked the DX7 and was pretty turned off to the timbres generated by FM on it, was never anywhere near as interesting as the MOD7, is this because the DX7 only used sine wave carriers/modulators? Correct, the DX series only had sine waves. The first ...

Hey, great to see someone else exploring the wave sequence feature! They say the Kronos has 9 engines, but I really consider this the 10th. I don't know why there aren't more presets, it really seems underutilized. The Note-On advance is really useful, and I think several 3rd party expansions use ...

The Control Surface on the Kronos is pretty flexible. I had forgotten that Drum Track level was already pre-assigned to slider 3.

Another option is to also just go to the Drum Track tab, and set the Volume there. But the Control Surface method is more immediate and more flexible.

One fun thing to do with the Wav Seq Out is to assign it to filter cutoff (which is not associated with any OSC). You can get a Sample and Hold effect if you put the WavSeq steps to random values. Or you could get a slowly rising filter cutoff if you set the Seq steps to increment slowly. If you're ...

Remember, first go to the parameter you want to edit. Look for the corresponding AMS dropdown menu.

In there, you'll see that WavSeq AMS Out can be assigned to it, regardless of which OSC the parameter belongs to.

Ah ok, props to Shannon and of course Stephen. =D> I've still got a few more pages in the Parameter Guide yet, and a few random things here and there. Then I intend to comb over most of the KARMA performances already in the Kronos. Hopefully then I'll be able to tame KARMA from overwhelming fancy ...

Your bass pedal needs to send the volume messages on the same MIDI channel as the timbre. Thanks feller.... I'm not sure how that would work as the bass pedals don't have any connection to the expression/volume pedal so don't have any volume information to send. The expression pedal goes straight ...

Today is my no-Kronos day. How the hell do you do that?! I love the complexity and depth, and of course the sound obviously, of this keyboard. I have a programming background both professionally and musically, and I intend to learn every detail about how this thing works. It helps that I got the ...

C4 is middle C.

You can also press and hold ENTER + keyboard key whenever you need to enter a note.

What you want to do is go to whatever parameter you want to affect. (CX3 pitch in this case) Then look near it -- Does that parameter have an option for AMS? If it does, then yes you can use the Step Sequencer or any other mod source on it. Just click on the AMS dropdown menu and choose your poison ...

What happens when audio stops is: All sequencer volume bars go to zero. Kronos becomes silent. But it is is still receiving MIDI input from the DAW since CPU/voice usage just continues on as previously (it follows the music). I found several ways to break out of this. (lots of voice stealing ...
