Characters possible for editing texts/descriptions

michelkeijzers · Post by **michelkeijzers** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 10:53 am

Can anybody confirm (since I do not have a Kronos myself) if:
- the set of characters/symbols to be used in a program/combi/set list slot name is equal to the set in e.g. the M50 or earlier synth?
- if this set is equal to the characters/symbols for the descriptions (512 length) of set list slots?

I need this info to be able to create a mini editor for changing these names/descriptions.

Or as a shortcut: if you have a Kronos, please check if:
- go to write program (in the menu of a program)
- press the T(ext) symbol to change the parameter name.
- check if you see an onscreen keyboard
- if you press Shift, you see capitals and some symbols change
- if you prses Symbol, you see (mostly) the upper row changing

Check if this also happens for the set list description.

Thanks in advance.

I'll give it a look and post it here. I'm just turning on the Kronos now!

Thank you! ... lots of people are (positively) jealous just by the ability you have to turn on a Kronos

There is definitely an on-screen keyboard which defaults to the 'Shift' page. The characters are:
Shift page:
! @ # - % + & * ' "
Q W E R T Y U I O P
A S D F G H J K L :
Z X C V B N M < > ?

Normal page:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
q w e r t y u i o p
a s d f g h j k l ;
z x c v b n m , . /

Symbol page:
~ $ ^ \ [ ] { } ( )
a b c d e f g h i j
k l m n o p q r s t
u v w x y z _ = ` |

Shift Symbol page:
~ $ ^ \ [ ] { } ( )
A B C D E F G H I J
K L M N O P Q R S T
U V W X Y Z _ = ` |

Hope this helps. Cheers!

And my heart goes out to all who are awaiting or considering a Kronos (or have been in any way temporarily separated from their Kronos). I hope that our work here will help them out when they're able to procure one!

Cheers!

Yes this helps a lot ... Wednesday I have my M50 back home again so I can compare it, but as far as I can remember they are similar. However, stubborn as I am, I am going to try other characters too ... would be nice to use (most of) the complete ascii character set.

If you want to mod up a PCG file and send it over I can load it on the Kronos and see what it does.

I will send one with a few changed characters (and the changed checksum) and a PCG with characters not in the tables you sent (but I assume this last PCG will not work).
