• To input a chord, simultaneously press the notes of the
desired chord. Even if you do not press them
simultaneously, notes that are pressed before you fully
remove your hand from all keys on the keyboard will be
input at the same location.
• If you want to verify the pitch of the note that you will
input next, press the PAUSE switch. In this state, playing
a key will produce a sound, but will not input a note.
Press the PAUSE switch once again to cancel the record-
pause state, and resume inputting notes.
8. When you are finished recording, press the Done
button.
Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch to play
back.
Go to the P0: Play/REC– MIDI Track Loop page, check
Track Play Loop for MIDI Track 02, set Loop Start
Measure to 001, and Loop End Measure to 002. MIDI
track 02 will play measures 1–2 repeatedly.
9. If you’re not satisfied with the result, press the
COMPARE switch to return to the state prior to
recording, and then re-record from step 4.
When you begin step recording, all data in the MIDI track
that follows the measure where you began recording will
be erased. You need to be aware of this if you begin step
recording from a measure mid-way through the song.
If you want to copy data into a measure that already
contains data, perform step recording in an empty MIDI
track, and use the Move Measure or Copy Measure
menu commands. For more information, see “Copy
Measure” on page 659 of the Parameter Guide, and
“Move Measure” on page 659 of the Parameter Guide.
If you want to edit or add to the recorded data, you can
use the MIDI Event Edit function. For more
information, see “Event Edit” on page 667 of the
Parameter Guide.
Recording the sound of a Combination or Program
Here’s how you can easily copy the settings of a
Combination or Program, and then record using that sound.
When you’re performing in Program or Combination mode,
you can use the Auto Song Setup function to automatically
the current Program or Combination into a song.
Alternatively, you can use the Sequencer mode’s Copy
From Combi and Copy from Program menu commands.
Auto Song Setup
You can use Auto Song Setup with both Programs and
Combinations. In this example, we’ll use a Combination.
1. Save any edits to the Combination.
If you’ve made any edits—even simple things like changing
pan and volume for the Timbres— must save the new
settings using Update Combination or Write Combination
before proceeding.
2. Hold down the ENTER switch and press the
SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch.
The Setup to Record dialog box will appear.
3. Press the OK button to perform the Auto Song Setup.
The KRONOS will automatically switch to Sequencer mode,
and the Combination’s settings will be applied to the first
unused song.
4. You will automatically enter record-ready mode, and
the metronome will begin sounding according to the
settings in P0: Play/REC– Preference page.
For more information, see “0–5d: Metronome Setup” on
page 542 of the Parameter Guide.
5. Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch, and
real-time recording will begin.
When you’re finished recording, press the START/STOP
switch once again.
Auto Song Setup and Combinations: Details
With Combinations, Auto Song Setup is essentially a
shortcut for using the Copy From Combi menu command
with the following settings:
IFXs-All, MFXs and TFXs checked
Multi REC checked
For more information, see “Copy from Combi” on page 639
of the Parameter Guide
