Recording multiple MIDI tracks from an external sequencer
1. Make sure that the MIDI OUT of your external
sequencer is connected to the MIDI IN of the
KRONOS.
If it is not connected, turn off the power, make the
connection, and then turn the power on.
For more information, see “MIDI applications” on
page 1131 of the Parameter Guide.
2. In the Global P1: MIDI– MIDI page, set MIDI Clock
to External MIDI. With this setting, the KRONOS
will synchronize to MIDI clock messages from your
external sequencer.
Make sure that Receive Ext. Realtime Commands is
checked.
3. Create a new song in Sequencer mode, and in the P0:
Play/REC– Preference page, check the Multi REC
check box. Set Recording Setup to Overwrite.
4. Press Play/Rec/Mute to select “REC” for the tracks
you want to record.
For the tracks you don’t want to record, select Play or
Mute.
Tip: You can also control the Play/Rec/Mute setting from
the front panel mixer section, or from the P0– Control
Surface page of the LCD screen. (See “The control
surface in Sequencer mode” on page 80.)
5. In the P2: Track Parameters– MIDI page, use MIDI
Channel to specify the MIDI channel of each track.
Set the MIDI channel of each KRONOS track to match
the MIDI channel of each external sequencer track. Data
of the matching channel will be recorded on each
KRONOS track.
Make sure that Status is set to INT or BTH.
6. Press the LOCATE switch to set the location to
001:01.000.
7. Press the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch to enter
record-standby mode.
8. Start your external sequencer.
The KRONOS’ sequencer will automatically begin
recording when it receives the MIDI Start message
transmitted by your external sequencer.
9. When playback has ended, stop your external
sequencer.
The KRONOS’ sequencer will automatically stop
recording when it receives the MIDI Stop message
transmitted by the external sequencer. You can also stop
recording by pressing the SEQUENCER START/STOP
switch of the KRONOS.
After this, you can play back the newly recorded
sequence:
10.In the Global P1: MIDI page, set MIDI Clock to
Internal.
11.Set “Tempo Mode” to Auto.
12.Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch to play
back.
Note: If the correct sounds are not selected when you start
playing back, you may be able to solve the problem by
using the page menu command “MIDI Event Edit” (P4:
Track Edit) to re-specify the Program Change data.
