Is there anyway to do a chromatic pitchbend on the Kronos using either joystick or ribbon? Can't see any way to do it using AMS but I may be overlooking something.

Maybe assigning the Step Sequencer as AMS to control the pitch. Then you can set the step sequencer to advance in semitone steps.

I've just taken a look at the Parameter guide. Please search in your PDF manual for "Quantized Ribbon Pitch Bend" (page 101 in the version E2, maybe another one in the last published manuals version E4).

Hope this helps.

Many Thanks. Tearing down my system for a gig right now, but I'll be trying it out tomorrow!

Never used chromatic pitchbend before ...t hanks for the tip/info.

To achieve this you can use an AMX mixer with mixer type set to Quantize. Set the source of the mixer to the ribbon or JS-X, and use this mixer as AMS source for pitch modulation.

In the mixer you can set the # of steps. So say you want to chromatically bend up or down an octave, I suppose setting the # of steps to 12, and setting the right value for the modulation amount, you should get it working.

Check page 101 of the param guide for more info

Hi Phattbuzz

I see you have a Theremin. I recently made one. Cost me about 30 bucks and most of that was for the box and antenna. Had the rest of the stuff in the junk box. It has a little built in speaker or I can plug it into an amp. Not in the same league as yours but it works quite well.
