You can sample from within Combination mode—including
resampling the Combination itself. For more information,
see “Sampling in Program and Combination modes” on
page 164.
You can also mix in live audio inputs, and process them
through effects. For more information, see “Using effects
with the audio inputs” on page 227.

Layers, Splits, and Velocity Switches
Within a Combination, you can use note number and
velocity to determine which Timbres will sound.
The Programs assigned to each Timbre can sound in three
ways: as part of a layer, a split, or a velocity switch. A
Combination can be set to use any one of these methods, or
to use two or more of these methods simultaneously.
Layer
Layers cause two or more Programs to sound simultaneously
when a note is played.
Split
Splits cause different Programs to sound on different areas of
the keyboard.
Velocity Switch
Velocity Switches cause different Programs to sound
depending on the velocity (how hard you play the notes).
On KRONOS, you can use a different Program for each of
up to sixteen Timbres, and combine two or more of the
above methods to create even more complex setups.
As an additional possibility, you can set the slope for a key
zone or velocity zone so that the volume diminishes
gradually. This lets you change a split into a keyboard
crossfade, or a velocity switch into a velocity crossfade.

Example:
B and C/D are split. In the lower

velocity and layered with A.

As you play from low notes to

of B will fade in.
