Hey guys,

Need some help here! I've recently starting pushing my Krome, and its leading to some very good results. I want to take stuff to the next level though.
What I want to achieve is this:

Assign zones to a lead and pad sound, one higher up, and one lower down, and program it such that the pitch bend (joystick), affects only the lead.

I've managed to zone the sounds, that was pretty simple, but I can't figure out how to make the joystick lead exclusive.

Can it be done?
Thanks in advance,
Ricky

You can adjust pitch settings in program mode on page P2:OSC/PITCH. On the Pitch tabs set the JS+X and JS-X parameters to zero.

Thanks a million Eagle!

Is there no other way to this, other than editing the program? Like can this be done directly in combi mode? Just curious.

Also, one other question relating to this, because I'm using more than 10 timbres in this combi. Its about Polyphony.

You know there are some lead sounds which are in "mono" mode right? So you can hold down the sustain pedal while playing. So say I play a scale(8 notes) while holding down the pedal, does that eat up the polyphony by 8 notes? or just 1?

Thanks again

In combi mode go to page P3:Timbre Parametes. On the Pitch tab you can set the Bend Range parameters for each timbre.

All notes that are sounding use up polyphony so holding sustain and playing 8 notes uses up 8 notes of polyphony.

Sorry, I should have been clearer with my question.

I meant, in "mono" mode or "mono legato", you can play legato sections while holding down the sustain, but only one note sounds each time.
So does that count as the 8 I played in legato, or only 1, just the one thats sounding (as in mono, not more than one note can be heard)
Oh and I'm also holding down the sustain all this time.

I hope I don't sound stupid

In that case I'm pretty sure that it only uses 1 note of polyphony.

Thanks as always!
You guys are lifesavers, it does have a downside though. I'm already getting too lazy to read the manual. I'll make it a point to ask further question after doing that haha!
You guys rock!

P.S. I'll edit the title of the thread to avoid confusion for other readers.

Get the PDF version, you can search it for terms you're looking for.

I wish I knew more about this stuff. Every time I go into the Krome to start making brand new sounds, I walk away overwhelmed and then go lie down.
