About MIDI
Track status
You can specify whether each track will use the internal
KRONOS sounds, or use an external MIDI tone generator.
When the Track Status (P2– MIDI page) is set to INT or
BTH, operating KRONOS’s keyboard and controllers will
sound and control KRONOS’s own tone generator.
When Status is set to EXT, EX2 or BTH, operating
KRONOS’s keyboard and controllers will sound and control
the external tone generator. (The MIDI channel of the
external tone generator must match the MIDI Channel of
the track that is set to EXT, EX2 or BTH.)
If you wish to use the Sequencer mode of the instrument as a
16-track multi-timbral tone generator, select INT or BTH.
For more information, see “Status” on page 577 of the
Parameter Guide.
Synchronizing the sequencer with an
external MIDI device
The record/playback tempo of KRONOS’s sequencer can be
synchronized to an external MIDI device such as a
sequencer or rhythm machine. For more information, see
“Synchronizing the playback of KARMA or sequencer” on
page 1154 of the Parameter Guide.
